☆ For Columbia and a Powerful Donor, Months of Talks and Millions at Risk
  + stars: | 2024-05-10 | by ( Alan Blinder | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
On Jan. 19, Angelica Berrie sent an email to Nemat Shafik, the president of Columbia University. Ms. Berrie reported that the Russell Berrie Foundation, named for her late husband, had scheduled three grant payments to Columbia. But after months of campus protests around the Israel-Hamas war, Ms. Berrie also delivered a warning. As the foundation prepared to transfer almost $613,000, Ms. Berrie told Dr. Shafik that future giving would partly hinge on “evidence that you and leaders across the university are taking appropriate steps to create a tolerant and secure environment for Jewish members of the Columbia community.”Months passed, and the foundation, which has donated about $86 million to Columbia over the years, did not like what it saw. Frustrated and flummoxed by the sustained tumult at Columbia, the foundation suspended its giving to the university late last month.

  + stars: | 2024-05-10 | by ( Geoff Weiss | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +1 min
A nonprofit that's gifted Columbia $86 million pulled funding last month, the NYT reports. Unlike outspoken billionaires, the Berrie Foundation exerted influence behind the scenes. AdvertisementYet another Columbia University mega-donor yanked funding from the school — this time behind the scenes. The New York Times reports the Russell Berrie Foundation — named for the gift-and-greeting-card entrepreneur — suspended giving on April 26 in a move that cost Columbia tens of millions of dollars. This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers.

☆ Voices from Inside America’s Homelessness Crisis - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2024-02-21 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +8 min
Homelessness is highest in cities with exorbitant rents, but small cities and rural communities are not shielded from the housing crisis. Because rural America lacks many social services, like free clinics, soup kitchens and shelters, the rural homeless often make their way to places like the Water Street Mission. We spoke with several people staying at the Water Street Mission, some of whom were there for the first time and some who had sought refuge there many times before. Levon Higgins, 50, has been staying at Water Street for the last six months : I just couldn’t afford to live where I was. Jennifer Berrie, 45, was staying in an overnight-only shelter before Water Street : I miss little things you don't even think of.

"You could end up in a crisis situation where the battery companies don't have the security of (lithium) feedstock," Stu Crow, chairman of Lake Resources (LKE.AX), said on the sidelines of this week's Fastmarkets Lithium and Battery Raw Materials conference in Las Vegas. This week, Lake Resources became the latest lithium company to announce a project delay, pushing back first production from its Kachi lithium project in Argentina by three years. Albemarle (ALB.N), the world's largest lithium producer, is growing rapidly across the Americas, Asia and Australia. Still, it expects global lithium demand to exceed supply by 500,000 metric tons in 2030. ATTENDANCEOnce a niche event attended by industry die-hards, the Fastmarkets conference has grown rapidly alongside breakneck lithium demand.
