The graduation ceremony for the historically black college's College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences was shut down before the keynote address after space ran out at the Cramton Auditorium in Washington DC.

 

Dean of the College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences Gina Brown made announcement claiming the fire department had shut the ceremony down.

 

'Because of the size of the room and because our relatives sometimes do not know how to act, the fire department is now here to shut us down,' she said.

 

However, the DC fire department has denied they shut down the graduation.

 

The department said: 'D.C. Fire and EMS did not shut down tonight’s event… At 6:42 p.m., we responded to the Cramton Auditorium for a medical local at the request of campus police.

 

'The patient was evaluated and refused transport, and D.C. Fire and EMS departed.'

 

Howard later said in their own statement that someone was removed from the building before the ceremony and they came back and broke a window.

 

The school's statement read: 'This incident led to a disturbance among guests outside of the facility, resulting in a disruption of the program.

 

'Guests in attendance were immediately dispersed following this incident.'

Top Republican donors fund group doxxing pro-Palestinian college students

  • Accuracy in Media, a far-right activist group that doxxes college students who engage in pro-Palestinian protests, revealed in its tax returns it’s funded by top Republican political donors.

  • The group’s disclosure lists family foundations tied to shipping supply magnate Richard Uihlein and brewing scion Peter Coors. It also names billionaire Republican megadonor Jeff Yass as its top contributor.

  • Accuracy in Media is currently waging a doxxing campaign against college students and faculty who the group determines are either too supportive of Palestinians, or not supportive enough of Israel.

 

A far-right activist group that is doxxing college students who engage in pro-Palestinian protests revealed that it is funded by top Republican political donors and nonprofits backed by wealthy business leaders, a tax return reviewed by CNBC shows.

 

The group, Accuracy in Media, publicly disclosed on its federal tax return a list of donors who combined to contribute nearly $1.9 million to the tax-exempt nonprofit between May 2022 and April of last year.

 

The contributors listed on the tax return include billionaire Republican megadonor Jeff Yass, who Accuracy in Media said gave it $1 million.

 

The family foundation of shipping supply magnate Richard Uihlein is also identified on the tax return, which says the Ed Uihlein Family Foundation gave $10,000. The Milstein Family Foundation, which is run by real estate executive and Republican donor Adam Milstein, gave another $10,000, the group reported to the IRS.

 

According to its tax return, Accuracy in Media said it received $15,000 from the Coors brewing family’s charitable foundation. The Adolph Coors Foundation is chaired by former Molson Coors executive Peter H. Coors, according to the foundation’s latest tax records.

 

Yass, Uihlein, Milstein and Coors have all donated regularly to Republican campaigns over the past decade.

 

But Yass stands apart from the others. The co-founder of options trading powerhouse Susquehanna International Group and his wife Janine are the biggest political donors of the 2024 election. So far, Yass and his wife have contributed $70 million to dozens of Republican candidates and committees, according to the nonpartisan campaign finance database OpenSecrets.

Walmart to reportedly lay off hundreds of corporate staff and relocate others

 

PUBLISHED MON, MAY 13 202410:00 PM EDT

 

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/14/walmart-to-reportedly-lay-off-hundreds-of-corporate-staff-and-relocate-others.html

 

Walmart is cutting hundreds of corporate jobs and asking most remote workers to move to offices, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.

 

Meanwhile, workers at the U.S. retail giant’s smaller offices in Dallas, Atlanta and Toronto are being asked to move to other central hubs such as Walmart’s corporate headquarters in Bentonville as well as Hoboken or Southern California, the report added.

 

Walmart will still let staff work remotely part time, as long as they are in offices a majority of the time, the report said.

 

Walmart employed approximately 2.1 million associates as of Jan. 31, 2024, according to regulatory filings.

 

The company has been making moves to shrink its workforce over the past year and had said in April last year that it expects about 65% of its stores to be serviced by automation by the end of its fiscal year 2026.

 

In February 2023, it shut three of its U.S. technology hubs and asked hundreds of workers to relocate to keep their jobs, pushing for more employees to report to work from office.

 

Walmart didn’t immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
