NEW YORK/LONDON, July 11 (Reuters) - One of the world's top insurers is mulling offloading its property reinsurance business in a bid to cut its exposure to natural disasters like hurricanes, according to three people familiar with the matter. Prices for U.S. property catastrophe reinsurance rose by as much as 50% at a key July 1 renewal date, broker Gallagher Re said in a recent report. AXA has been trying to reduce the exposure of its AXA XL property and casualty (P&C) division - which houses XL Re - in an effort to make earnings more predictable. This has caused the reinsurance business to shrink, with revenues dropping by nearly a third last year to $3.2 billion, according to AXA's 2022 accounts. In May, American International Group (AIG.N) agreed the sale of its reinsurance arm Validus Re for roughly $3 billion, or about 1.4 times the unit's book value.

But I have always thought of that as racial preferences the way they should have been, merely additive around the margins. I was hired straight out of my doctoral program for a tenure-track job at an Ivy League university in its august linguistics department. Plus, I was brought on to represent a subfield within linguistics — sociolinguistics — that has never been my actual specialty. At the time I was not very politicized, and I assumed that my race had merely been a background bonus to help me get hired. I had been hired by white people who, quite innocently, thought they were doing the right thing by bringing a Black person onto the faculty.

July 3 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has declined to approve Amneal Pharmaceuticals' (AMRX.N) drug designed to help control symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients for a longer duration, citing inadequate safety data. The complete response letter comes as a surprise, said Barclays analyst Balaji Prasad. The decision does not impact 2023 forecast as it did not include the revenue from the drug, the company said. Amneal has another Parkinson's drug, Rytary, on the market but has been struggling to gain a foothold in the treatment space. Only 4% of patients use the drug since its approval in 2015, as per company estimates.

It is also looking to hire a lawyer with a specialty in trade compliance to help Temu create a protocol for screening merchandise, another posting showed. The U.S. House Select Committee on the China Communist Party in May launched an investigation into retailers' connections to forced labor in China's Xinjiang region, including any efforts to comply with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. The committee last week released preliminary findings stating that Temu "does not have any system to ensure compliance" with the act. Temu's 80,000 "suppliers agree to boilerplate terms and conditions that prohibit the use of forced labor," the report said. Rights groups accuse Beijing of abuses including forced labor and placing 1 million or more Uyghurs - a mainly Muslim ethnic group - in internment camps in Xinjiang.
