☆ Opinion | Justice Delayed
  + stars: | 2023-05-16 | by ( Lisa Belkin | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
“We investigated this thing upside down,” said Jerry Hill, a retired state attorney, in a “Bone Valley” interview with Mr. King’s co-host, Kelsey Decker, minutes after the board denied parole to Mr. Schofield in 2020. And so it went in the Adams and Schofield cases, as the prosecutors all but physically barred the jailhouse door. There was no expression of regret from the prosecutors who convicted Randall Dale Adams in Dallas. (Mr. Lindsey himself spent three years on death row before the Florida Supreme Court concluded the evidence was insufficient to sustain his conviction. He is one of 30 death row inmates in Florida to be exonerated since 1972, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.)

In the past few months, several internet giants have fallen. BuzzFeed News folded. Vice is headed for bankruptcy. And with the recent publication of Ben Smith’s “Traffic: Genius, Rivalry, and Delusion in the Billion-Dollar Race to Go Viral,” there’s been a resurgence of chatter about Gawker Media, which went kaput in 2016. (I worked at Jezebel, which was under the Gawker Media umbrella, from 2007 to 2008.)
☆ Families Tap New Tools to Negotiate Lower College Tuition

Last April, John Strubulis played a game of chicken with the college his daughter wanted to attend, Butler University. If he won, his family would save $20,000 in tuition. If he lost, she would head to her second choice, Marquette University. Mr. Strubulis, a product manager for a packaging company with decades of experience negotiating contracts, had written Butler a letter asking for more financial aid. The school politely declined, he said.

EVANSTON, Ill.—The most dramatic action in this suburb of Chicago has always played out in Northwestern University’s pancake-yellow stadium on football Saturdays. This spring, though, the hardest hits are coming from some of its neighbors. Residents in the tree-lined neighborhood are exercised about a plan to replace the 47,000-seat Ryan Field stadium, which opened in 1926.
☆ More Students Are Turning Away From College and Toward Apprenticeships

Last spring Dina Sosa Cruz sat with her parents and sister in the family’s living room and reviewed her options: a full academic ride to the University of the District of Columbia, or an apprenticeship in the insurance industry. The college route meant at the end of four years the 22-year-old would have a degree, a little debt and no work experience. The apprenticeship would leave her with a two-year degree, money in the bank and training in a profession that appealed to her.

A group of Stanford University professors is pushing to end a system that allows students to anonymously report classmates for exhibiting discrimination or bias, saying it threatens free speech on campus.

EAST LANSING, Mich.—Hailee Maynard, a junior at Michigan State University, arrived at the Creole Burger Bar in Lansing Monday evening with six friends—mostly her sorority sisters—excited to celebrate a 22nd birthday. “We were talking about how surprised Payton (the birthday girl) was going to be,” she said.
☆ College Board Shrinks Advanced-Placement Curriculum for African-American Studies

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said last month the original curriculum for an AP class on African-American studies advanced a political agenda. The College Board on Wednesday released a revised version of its curriculum for a new advanced-placement class that covers African-American studies—days after the draft was denounced by the governor of Florida as indoctrination. The new curriculum makes optional some topics from the pilot version including Black Lives Matter and reparations for slavery and adds optional subjects such as Black conservatism.

Last month a professor at Weber State University in Utah asked a new artificial-intelligence chatbot to write a tweet in his voice. Within a few minutes the application, called ChatGPT, had spit out a dozen messages that captured Alex Lawrence’s tone and personality. His first reaction: “Holy Cow!” His second: “This is the greatest cheating tool ever invented.”

Harvard University on Thursday said it would extend a fellowship offer to a prominent human-rights advocate, reversing an initial decision that prompted critics to question whether the school had bowed to political pressure from pro-Israel donors. The issue surfaced this month after the Nation published an article saying that Douglas Elmendorf, dean of Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, vetoed a one-year fellowship for Kenneth Roth , the recently retired executive director of Human Rights Watch, because of Mr. Roth’s past criticism of Israel.

On Friday afternoon, Abdul Sharifu left his house in Buffalo, N.Y., to go to the market to buy milk for his two young children. He hadn’t gotten far when his car got stuck in one of the deadliest blizzards in the history of the city. Mr. Sharifu, a 26-year-old refugee from Congo, sat in his Toyota RAV4 with a dwindling supply of gas in his tank and called a friend to explain his plight, said Erieckson Kiza, a leader in the Congolese community. Mr. Sharifu, clad only in a thin tracksuit, told the friend he feared he would freeze when his gas ran out and the heat cut off. Waiting at home for his return was his wife who was nine months pregnant.

Students are taking longer to learn concepts this year, require more tutoring and struggle to engage in group activities, according to a new study by a Stanford economist. Learning loss could shave $70,000 off the lifetime earnings of children who were in school during the pandemic, according to a new study by a Stanford economist. The sobering forecast is based on an analysis of the sharp declines in the scores of eighth-graders on national math tests taken between 2019 and 2022.
