Deep dives
Southern Schools Attracting More Students
Applications to elite northeastern universities like Brown and Harvard are decreasing while southern schools are seeing a substantial increase, with a 42% rise in applications. Financial considerations seem to be a driving factor, as college costs have surged. The migration trend is not only about cost but also politics, with students choosing regions aligning more with their views.
New Law in New York to Combat Squatters
New legislation in New York redefines squatters as distinct from tenants, aiming to address issues where squatters take over properties unlawfully and occupants face legal challenges to regain their homes. High-profile incidents, such as an individual subletting a million-dollar property without permission, highlighted the need for the law change. The previous law allowed squatters to claim tenant protections after 30 days, creating significant hurdles for property owners attempting to reclaim their homes.
Starbucks Case Goes to Supreme Court on Unionizing Dispute
Starbucks faces a Supreme Court case concerning the rehiring of seven baristas fired for unionizing efforts, triggering a debate on government intervention in labor disputes. The case questions the National Labor Relations Board's power to force companies to reinstate dismissed employees involved in union activities. Justice scrutiny varies, with some justices questioning the agency's actions, while others defend the need for such interventions in protecting union employees' rights.
