Netflix signs US broadcast deal with FIFA for the Women's World Cup in 2027 and 2031(The Center Square) – Adoption of institutional neutrality is supported by better than 6 in 10 tenured and nontenured faculty at the University of North Carolina, Wake Forest University and Duke University, a report says. Nationally, 66% of faculty say “colleges and universities should not take positions on political and social issues,” says Silence in the Classroom, the 2024 FIRE Faculty Survey Report. At Duke, the percentage is 71%, at Carolina 65%, and at Wake 64%. Higher education is facing mounting challenges, from the costs to the positions it favors. Silencing students or faculty has drawn sharp criticism from Capitol Hill to every corner of the nation sending people to the ballot box. Carolina, established in 1789, is the nation’s oldest public university. It also earlier this year became embattled in free speech controversy tied to the war between Hamas and Israel. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression , as FIRE is more formally known, is a nonprofit nonpartisan organization billing itself as “defending and sustaining the individual rights of all Americans to free speech and free thought.” Surveys on topics related to free expression and academic freedom were made of 6,269 tenured, tenure-track and nontenure faculty at 55 four-year colleges and universities in America. In North Carolina, the sampling was of 145 at Carolina, 80 at Duke, and 55 at Wake Forest. For each campus, respondents said the top “difficult issue to discuss” is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Asked for top three issues, the Middle East saga was 79% at Carolina, 71% at Wake Forest and 68% at Duke. Each campus was split on the second and third choices. At Duke, 57% said affirmative action and 51% transgender rights. At Carolina, 54% said affirmative action and 53% racial inequality. And at Wake, 63% said racial inequality and 55% transgender rights. All were talking points of various candidates, particularly the presidential race, in the election cycle climaxing last month. In response to faculty feeling “they could not express their opinion because of how others would respond,” the choices of “occasionally,” “fairly often” and “very often” drew a combined 69% at Wake Forest, 69% at Duke and 67% at Carolina. Fairly often and very often were 35% at Duke. Statements pledging commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is rarely or never justified of faculty job candidates, said 61% at Duke, 44% at Carolina and 42% at Wake Forest. Nationally, the response was 50%. Academic freedom leaned more toward secure than not at all three institutions on a split of about 60%-40%. As for faculty feeling a need to “hide their political beliefs from other faculty in an attempt to keep their job,” answers of “never” were chosen by 43% at Duke, 42% at Carolina and 36% at Wake Forest. Among the national findings of the FIRE survey: • More faculty (35%) than during the McCarthy era (9%) say they toned down their writing for fear of controversy. • Threats of discipline for teaching, research, academic talks or other off-campus speech was incurred by 14%. • Faculty feeling unable to speak freely for fear of how others would respond was 27%. • Fear of damaged reputations because of misunderstandings with something said or done was 40%. • Fear of losing jobs because of misunderstandings with something said or done was 23%.wow jili 。

What we can VERIFY about Enron’s return to the internet

-- Shares Facebook Twitter Reddit Email President-elect Donald Trump has transferred all of his Trump Media shares to the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, controlled by his eldest son, Donald Jr., according to regulatory filings revealed Thursday. The Securities and Exchange Commission filing showed that Trump received no money for the roughly 115 million shares in Trump Media & Technology Group — the parent company of his social media platform, Truth Social — that were transferred to the trust, describing it as “a bona fide gift.” The shares are worth about $4 billion. Trump Jr. is the sole trustee and has sole voting and investment power over all securities owned by the revocable trust, The Associated Press reported. Related Trump's trust allows him to collect money from his organization whenever he wants Trump Media shares slid in midday trading on Friday following the news, per The Associated Press. Trump Media — created after he was banned from Twitter and Facebook following the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot — was one of Trump's most valuable assets, according to The New York Times . He said on the campaign trail this year that he had no intention of selling any of his shares. It wasn't clear why he transferred them. It may be an attempt to avoid future conflicts of interest between his second term and his social media company, the Times reported. Trump has used Truth Social to announce cabinet nominees, top-ranking Trump administration officials and make statements about his proposed policies, as well as respond to criticism . Some have raised concerns about investors in Trump Media trying to gain favor with Trump. He has nominated two Trump Media board members to high-level positions in his administration, according to CNBC , and named Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes to chair the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board. In November, Trump Media & Technology Group was considering buying crypto trading firm Bakkt , the Financial Times reported. Industry analysts have warned that Trump's business connections to crypto could present conflicts of interest, since he selects the SEC chair overseeing crypto regulation and could financially benefit. Dennis Kelleher, CEO of Better Markets, told the New York Times the transfer of shares to a trust would do little to address potential conflicts. “This is not a blind trust with an independent trustee, where people can have confidence that the conflicts of interest are in fact removed,” he said. William LaPiana, dean of faculty at New York Law School and an expert on trusts and estates, said the trust isn't bound to withhold anything from Trump. “The person who created it can end it at any time,” LaPiana told the New York Times. “What you do is you tell the trustee: ‘I want all the property back.’” Read more about personal finance Inside Rubert Murdoch's family trust battle Billionaires bought big in 2024 Top 5 questions on investing under Trump MORE FROM Quinn Sental Advertisement:
