We live in an extraordinary moment in Qatar, as you can imagine, but ... there has been an amazing coordination among all the universities in, first of all, minimizing the risk of the students and, secondly, in assuring the continuity of education by online means and also doing the adaptations that are needed in terms of assessment and everything else. We learned a lot during the COVID times and those lessons learned there have been extremely useful in this specific situation at this time.

Known as ExStra, this is a permanent national funding programme designed to strengthen research at the nation's top universities and make them more competitive internationally.

As part of the newly created Admissions and Consumer Transparency Supplement (ACTS) survey, colleges must submit years of disaggregated admissions data-including the test scores, grade point averages, race, sex and income ranges of applied, admitted and enrolled students dating as far back as 2019.

By the way, Kim's a young coach. He's a very good coach.

The January drop was the largest release of documents pertaining to the department's investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and academics' names have routinely surfaced in the emails, though none have been implicated in his crimes. In ensuing weeks, institutions have opened probes into their professors' ties to Epstein and in some cases have suspended faculty as a result.
