Chicago and Illinois universities are responding to President Donald Trump’s threats of protest- and diversity-related funding cuts. Host Jacoby Cochran talks to WCIU TV host Brandon Pope and The Triibe reporter Tonia Hill to break down the week's top stories. The city council approved over $3 million in Chicago Police Department settlements, including $280,000 to an organizer who was assaulted by a police officer in 2020. Plus, CTA’s new frequent bus network plan launches next week, Woodson Regional Library is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and the Bears are the undisputed offseason winners.
