“It was clear from the outset that The Spectator was really leading the coverage,” Summers told CNN by phone Monday. The photographs were captured by student journalists — including the cover image shot by freshman Stella Ragas — working in conjunction with New York photo director Jody Quon. Gathering reporting from campus for the issue, however, was not without its challenges for the student journalists. “There is significantly more trust of us than national outlets who parachute in and maybe don’t have the intimate knowledge,” Ramirez told CNN. In fact, when the encampments first propped up on campus, Ramirez told CNN that the student journalists were reluctant to retire for the night.

Wonder Land: As if Trump-Biden weren’t enough, two of the U.S.’s most prominent CEOs may actually duke it out. Images: AFP/Getty Images Composite: Mark KellyWhen the National Football League inducted a new class of Hall of Famers on Aug. 5, one thing was conspicuously missing: bad speeches. Winners droned on with a laundry list of thank-yous, reminiscing with obscure anecdotes and humorless jokes. This year, speeches were short, scripted and sincere. Inductee Joe Thomas , a former Cleveland Browns offensive tackle, was quoted as saying: “Anyone who doesn’t use a speech coach in this situation is an idiot.” From his lips to the ears of senior executives, politicians and maybe even presidential candidates.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued Walmart for firing a North Carolina employee with Crohn's disease after the retail giant allegedly refused to grant her disability-related leave. The EEOC's complaint, filed in Charlotte federal court, accuses Walmart of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act in its treatment of deli worker Adrian Tucker. Tucker worked for Walmart between February 2014 and April 2017 at its Statesville store. According to the complaint, Tucker suffers from Crohn's disease, a chronic bowel condition that causes inflammation of the digestive tract, which can lead to stomach cramps, dehydration, vomiting and diarrhea. The EEOC alleges Walmart refused to provide reasonable accommodation to her when she experienced symptoms multiple times between November 2016 and April 2017.
A judge ordered Walmart to pay the worker $420,000 and rehire her, citing disability discrimination. Walmart requested a new trial, but that request has now been denied. In March, Walmart was also ordered to pay Spaeth a further $119,660, including back pay, and to rehire her. "Wal-Mart failed to accommodate Ms. Spaeth, unlawfully disciplined her, terminated her employment, and failed to rehire her," the EEOC wrote. William C. Griesbach, district judge for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, denied Walmart's request for a new trial and to remit damages on Monday.
Marlo Spaeth (left) was fired from Walmart in July 2015, after working there for nearly 16 years. A federal judge has rejected Walmart's request for a new trial after a jury found the retailer discriminated against a longtime employee with Down syndrome by refusing to adjust her schedule and firing her. In a court filing on Monday, the judge stood by the July 2021 ruling. Spaeth's firing permanently shook up their lives and took away her sister's sense of purpose, Stevenson said. Among its arguments, Walmart said the federal agency did not prove the retailer knew Spaeth's scheduling challenges were related to her Down syndrome.
