A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against the Ivy League that sought to end the League’s ban on athletic scholarships. This dismissal comes as many colleges and universities attempt to adjust to the changing landscape of athletic compensation in the NCAA.
A Purdue University-led team, in partnership with the Silicon Crossroads Microelectronics Commons (SCMC) Hub, won a new project aimed at expanding America’s microelectronics base. The project, based in Purdue’s pioneering research on artificial intelligence hardware, will pursue lab-to-fab advances in microelectronics and semiconductors.
University of Michigan President Santa Ono’s contract was extended to 2032. This comes amidst campus unrest surrounding the Israel-Gaza war, which included an act of vandalism to Ono’s home last week.
