DOJ Sues UC, Alleging 'Hostile Work Environment' for Jews

Swastikas, calls for the extermination of Jews and the Jewish state of Israel, antisemitic violence, and open harassment of Jewish students, faculty, and staff: this was the grim scene at the University of California Los Angeles.

How Social Security Helps Married People More Than Singles

Social Security is designed so that married people have a big advantage that never-married people do not have: They can collect benefits based on their own earnings or up to half of the earnings of their spouse, whichever is higher. Never-married people do not have an alternative source of benefits that may be greater than their own. A little more than half of married women today collect their spouse's benefits because those benefits are greater than their own, Carr and her colleagues report.

Trump administration lawsuit claims R.I. is discriminating against white teachers

Filed Tuesday, the complaint accuses the Rhode Island Department of Education and the state-run Providence Public School District of "blatant race discrimination." The lawsuit specifically takes aim at the "Educators of Color Loan Forgiveness Program," which offers up to $25,000 in student debt repayments for new teachers in Providence. "The catch: white teachers are not eligible," the complaint notes. With a student body that is more than 90% non-white, Providence has long sought to recruit more teachers of color.
