That was the highest incidence of hazing among a student group or team, ahead of fraternities and sororities, in which 38.3% of respondents reported having experienced hazing. Recent examplesThere has been considerable fallout following allegations of hazing among college sports teams this year. The following week, attorneys representing at least 15 former Northwestern University student athletes announced plans to sue the university over allegations that its athletics department fostered a “toxic culture” which facilitated harassment and sexual abuse.

Pew decided to ask Americans why they think that is and whether they expect more women to occupy top business roles anytime soon. In response to the question, “Why aren’t there more women in top executive business positions?” respondents identified several “major” reasons. Most women (65%) and most Democrats, regardless of gender, (76%) said there are too few women in business leadership. But gender overrode political affiliation when it came to citing views on why more women aren’t at the top in the business world. “Republican and Democratic women are more likely than their male counterparts to say there are too few women in top business leadership positions and to point to certain factors as major obstacles for women,” Pew said.

Many student athletes rarely have the chance to step foot in a classroom, attending their classes online and taking proctored exams in hotel ballrooms near the next game site. Say the Big Ten required its TV partners to share 30 percent of its revenues with its student athletes,. The N.C.A.A.’s rules on revenue sharing are driven by their members; this change will not come from the N.C.A.A.’s home base of Indianapolis, but from leaders at member institutions speaking frankly about the challenges to come. It must also take into account the input of student athletes, who are too often shut out of decisions that directly affect them. Make no mistake, the courts are judging the Big Ten Conference, and the other major N.C.A.A.’ conferences, on their behavior.

Another previously settled lawsuit alleged Baylor fostered a “hunting ground for sexual predators.”The terms of the settlement announced Monday were not disclosed. While we can never erase the reprehensible acts of the past, we pray that this agreement will allow these 15 survivors to move forward in a supportive manner," Baylor University said in a statement. The law firm's report determined that under the leadership of school President Ken Starr, Baylor did little to respond to accusations of sexual assault involving football players over several years. It also raised broader questions of how the school responded to sexual assault claims across campus. Baylor officials have said the school has made sweeping changes to how it addresses sexual assault claims and victims in response to the Pepper Hamilton report.

Looking to contrast himself with former President Donald J. Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida — leading rivals in the race for the Republican nomination who converged on Iowa on Saturday — former Vice President Mike Pence made a play for civility politics during a round table with about two dozen Christian college and university presidents. When Mr. Pence arrived at the event in Ankeny, Iowa, Mary Jo Brown, 67, told the former vice president that he was “a man of integrity.”A former teacher at Faith Baptist Bible College and Theological Seminary, a private Christian school, Ms. Brown said in an interview that Mr. Pence’s faith had guided his decision-making on Jan. 6 and that she would support him “if he can get through.”Mr. Pence is polling at a distant sixth place in Iowa, according to a recent New York Times/Siena College poll, far behind contenders like Mr. Trump and Mr. DeSantis, who are commanding attention in Iowa this weekend with their brasher style of politicking.

The resignation comes after student journalists uncovered manipulated data in scientific papers he authored. Tessier-Lavigne has been the school's president since 2016. Last year, The Stanford Daily, a student publication, published an investigation identifying serious problems in some of Tessier-Lavigne's published work, including evidence that images were improperly altered. The school's investigation found evidence of manipulation and "serious flaws in the presentation of research data," though it also found that the Stanford president himself "did not have actual knowledge" of the manipulation. In his statement, Tessier-Lavigne insisted that he was unaware of the issues with his scientific papers.

July 19 (Reuters) - The president of Stanford University, one of the most prestigious U.S. schools, announced plans on Wednesday to resign his post after an independent review ordered by its board of trustees found flaws in his research as a neuroscientist. Those allegations were in connection with Alzheimer's disease research carried out when Tessier-Lavigne was the executive vice president of research drug discovery at the U.S. biotechnology company Genentech Inc. But the review of 12 research papers dating over two decades found that when concerns about the research were raised, "Tessier-Lavigne failed to decisively and forthrightly correct mistakes in the scientific record." As a result of the review, Tessier-Lavigne said he was going to retract three papers and correct another two. The board of trustees named Richard Saller, a professor in Stanford's Department of Classics, as interim president beginning Sept. 1.

CNN —The Supreme Court’s landmark decision shooting down affirmative action could hurt the college-to-career pipeline many companies lean on to diversify their ranks. The Supreme Court’s Thursday ruling could make it even harder for those efforts to bear fruit. Elite schools offer opportunities like networking, graduate resources and mentoring, as well. Not being admitted to elite schools could thus harm many candidates of color. Legal, medical fields still lack diversityIn the legal profession, for example, law schools are key for the pipeline to clerkships and even judgeships.

Ron DeSantis of Florida is suing the Biden administration over a federal law requiring colleges and universities to get a quality stamp of approval from certain accrediting agencies. The association recently threatened Florida State University's accreditation when it was considering hiring Richard Corcoran, the state's former education commissioner, as its university president. Ron DeSantis signs a Florida education bill into law. 1 in higher education, largely because of its high graduation rates and low tuition.

Huggins, who coached at the University of Cincinnati from 1989 to 2005, was charged with drunken driving in Ohio in 2004 and pleaded no contest. In 38 seasons as the head coach at Akron, Cincinnati, Kansas State and West Virginia, he led his teams to 26 N.C.A.A.

Stony Brook University, a public school on Long Island, received a donation of $500 million on Thursday from a foundation formed by an alumnus and a former faculty member, making it the recipient of one of the largest gifts to a university in American history. The school said it hopes the gift will spur other donations that could amount to hundreds of millions of dollars. Gifts of that size are rare for universities, and especially so for public institutions like Stony Brook, which is one of the flagship schools of the State University of New York. The donation plus the state matching funds amount to nearly twice the amount of Stony Brook’s current endowment of $370 million, the university president, Maurie McInnis, said in an interview. The donation was made by the Simons Foundation, which was formed in 1994 by Jim Simons, a former Stony Brook math professor who later made billions as a hedge fund manager, and his wife Marilyn Simons, who received her bachelor’s degree and doctorate at Stony Brook.

Now, a Tennessee law restricting drag in front of minors is due to come into force on April 1. Several planned drag events were canceled over the winter after protests, and many venues felt forced to make previously family-friendly drag shows into adults-only events. Drag performers and venue owners say they are worried about their livelihoods and their rights of free expression. The Starbucks say there is no such thing as family-friendly drag; drag performers cite Bugs Bunny, Shakespeare's cross-dressing comedies and the Robin Williams film "Mrs. Doubtfire" among counterexamples. Outside of public Pride events, most Tennessee drag performers largely work in clubs and bars that admit only those over 18.

Trade with Russia’s neighbors “has ramped up considerably in the last year, which suggests that they’re serving as a way station for goods to get into Russia,” Summers said. The way to win the economic aspect of this, Summers said, is to support Ukraine’s economy, which has left bombed cities and millions destitute. Russian assets should be the ultimate source to pay the bill to rebuild Ukraine, Summers said. In addition to Ukraine, Russian assets should be used to support “the developing world that have paid and suffered enormously from higher food and energy prices because of Russian aggression,” Summers asserted. It could set a “healthy precedent” for countries engaged in cross-border aggression like Russia to lose state assets, Summers added.

Sam Joeckel has incorporated a racial justice unit into his writing course for 12 years. I've been teaching a racial justice unit in my English classes at the Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida for 12 years. And then, when we finally do get to the racial justice unit, he asks me just a few questions that he has in his notes. He didn't voice any concern during that meeting about the racial justice unit.
