(The Center Square) – The University System of Georgia’s Board of Regents has recommended a number of new and revised policies for its institutions, such as a commitment to institutional neutrality, the prohibiting of DEI tactics, and a mandatory education in America’s founding documents. The University System of Georgia (USG) is made up of Georgia’s 26 public colleges and universities as well as Georgia Archives and the Georgia Public Library Service. “USG institutions shall remain neutral on social and political issues unless such an issue is directly related to the institution’s core mission,” the board’s proposed revisions read. “Ideological tests, affirmations, and oaths, including diversity statements,” will be banned from admissions processes and decisions, employment processes and decisions, and institution orientation and training for both students and employees. “No applicant for admission shall be asked to or required to affirmatively ascribe to or opine about political beliefs, affiliations, ideals, or principles, as a condition for admission,” the new policy states. Additionally, USG will hire based on a person’s qualifications and ability. “The basis and determining factor” for employment will be “that the individual possesses the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities associated with the role, and is believed to have the ability to successfully perform the essential functions, responsibilities, and duties associated with the position for which the individual is being considered.” Beginning in the 2025-2026 academic year, the school’s civic instruction will require students to study founding American documents among other things. USG students will learn from the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, the Articles of Confederation, the Federalist Papers, the Gettysburg Address, the Emancipation Proclamation, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from Birmingham Jail, as well as the Georgia Constitution and Bill of Rights. When reached for comment, the Board of Regents told The Center Square that “these proposed updates strengthen USG’s academic communities.” The recommended policies allow a campus environment “where people have the freedom to share their thoughts and learn from one another through objective scholarship and inquiry,” and “reflect an unyielding obligation to protect freedom, provide quality higher education and promote student success,” the board said. The board told The Center Square that it proposed strengthening “the requirements for civics instruction” with the inclusion of “foundational primary sources” because of higher education’s duty to students. Colleges and universities “must prepare [students] to be contributing members of society and to understand the ideals of freedom and democracy that make America so exceptional,” the board said. As for ditching DEI, the board explained that “equal opportunity and decisions based on merit are fundamental values of USG.” “The proposed revisions among other things would make clear that student admissions and employee hiring should be based on a person’s qualifications, not his or her beliefs,” the board said.

John Healey said that the Government’s “interest” in Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), is “that they live up to their promises to protect” rights, when he spoke to reporters after a Cobra meeting on Thursday. HTS is banned in the UK because of its past association with al Qaida, the terrorist organisation once led by Osama bin Laden. But its leader, Abu Mohammed al-Golani, cut ties with al Qaida years ago and has sought to present his group as a more moderate and inclusive organisation, leading some to suggest the group should no longer be proscribed. When asked whether the Government was considering the status of the group, Mr Healey said: “Proscription is not a matter for now. “It doesn’t stop us talking to all the parties, and our interest in HTS is that they live up to their promises to protect the rights of all individuals and all groups, to respect international law and to prevent Syria becoming a base for a fresh terrorist threat.” Mr Healey said that Thursday’s meeting was “about making sure we have, as a Government, a laser focus on the role that we can play with allies to see a stable, peaceful transition. “So that the Syrians get the government they need for the future, and the region can see the stability in the future that it also needs.” Cobra meetings are called when ministers or officials need to respond to urgent matters. Following the toppling of the Bashar Assad regime over the weekend, the UK has paused decisions on asylum applications from Syria. Thousands of Syrians have been granted asylum in the UK but, earlier this week, the Home Office said decisions on applications would be paused while events unfold in Damascus. When asked how long the system would be paused for, and whether the move was fair, Mr Healey said on Thursday: “This is early days. “It’s a measure in response to rapidly changing developments, and the most important thing for us now is that the UK plays and will continue to play a full role with allies to see a stable, peaceful, orderly transition and that requires a political process. “It requires dialogue at the heart of it, and today’s ministerial meeting, the Cobra meeting, was about making sure that we do just that.” Earlier on Thursday, G7 leaders said that they “stand with the people of Syria” and “denounce terrorism and violent extremism in all its forms”. In a statement, Sir Keir Starmer and his counterparts said: “The G7 will work with and fully support a future Syrian government that abides by those standards and results from that process.” It went on: “After decades of atrocities committed by the Assad regime, we stand with the people of Syria. We denounce terrorism and violent extremism in all its forms. “We are hopeful that anyone seeking a role in governing Syria will demonstrate a commitment to the rights of all Syrians, prevent the collapse of state institutions, work on the recovery and rehabilitation of the country, and ensure the conditions for safe and dignified voluntary return to Syria of all those who were forced to flee the country.”

The Sambhal administration in Uttar Pradesh has issued a directive prohibiting the entry of outsiders into the district in response to the recent unrest Sambhal: At least 15 people have been detained in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal district following violent clashes and alleged stone-pelting during a mosque survey on Sunday morning. The unrest resulted in three fatalities and injuries to around thirty people. The Sambhal administration has issued a directive prohibiting the entry of outsiders into the district in response to the recent unrest in the region after a mosque survey. According to the order issued by the Sambhal administration, all outsiders, including social organisations and public representatives have been barred from the area until December 1. This move comes as part of precautionary measures to maintain law and order following the disturbances that rocked the area on Sunday. The decision was made after a thorough assessment of the situation, with the local authorities citing security concerns and the need to prevent any escalation of tension. The prohibition applies to individuals and groups not residing within the district, including members of various social and political parties, as well as any public figures intending to visit the area during this period. 3 Killed, Over 30 Injured Including 20 Police Personnel Earlier, the Sambhal district administration on Sunday ordered a 24-hour internet suspension in the district following violence over a mosque survey that left three people dead and around 30 people injured including 20 policemen. The unrest began when a team arrived at the Shahi Jama Masjid to conduct a fresh survey on Sunday, prompting locals to allegedly attack security personnel and pelt stones at the police. In response, the police used tear gas to disperse the crowd. Sambhal has been witnessing a heightened sense of tension following these recent incidents that led to widespread protests and clashes. The district administration, in coordination with law enforcement agencies, has been actively monitoring the situation. Authorities are on high alert and have deployed additional police forces in sensitive areas to prevent any further outbreaks of violence. Officials said that the survey, conducted from 7 am to 11 am, began peacefully under police presence. However, tension escalated when a mob gathered and pelted stones at the survey team and security personnel. Divisional Commissioner Singh told ANI, “Some people started stone-pelting, and the police dispersed them. Then, a larger mob of 2000-3000 people gathered and started stone-pelting again.” Protesters torched vehicles and pelted stones at police officers. Security forces responded with tear gas and batons to disperse the mob. Over 15 individuals, including two women, were arrested for stone-pelting, officials said. The administration has also ordered the closure of schools in the Sambhal district on 25 November. The closure order will affect all educational institutions in the region, including primary, secondary, and higher secondary schools. The district administration has stated that this decision is a precautionary measure, and further orders will be given after assessing the situation tomorrow. As per the announcement, schools will remain closed for tomorrow, and the authorities will monitor the situation closely. They have assured parents and the public that a decision about the continuation or extension of the closure will be made based on the developments on the ground. Meanwhile, the decision to limit access to the district comes in the wake of attempts by outside groups to influence the situation, which authorities believe could inflame existing tensions. By curbing outside intervention, the administration aims to allow local law enforcement and administrative officials to focus on resolving the issues at hand without external pressures. Officials have urged residents to remain calm and avoid participating in any activities that could disrupt public peace. They have also reassured the public that the situation is being closely monitored and that the necessary steps are being taken to ensure safety and stability. The entry restrictions will remain in place until December 1, after which the situation will be reassessed based on the prevailing conditions.

In the ruins of a bombed-out church in Lebanon, there's now a tiny Christmas tree DARDGHAYA, Lebanon (AP) — A Christmas tree stands among the fallen stones in the ruins of a Catholic church in southern Lebanon that was hit by an Israeli airstrike during the war with Hezbollah. It's a small and modest tree. There are no lights because the war destroyed power lines. The ground is too uneven to set up the Nativity scene. The priest says his blood pressure went up and he lost his balance when he saw the church's destruction. Now he leads Mass in an underground room that serves as a temporary worship space. He tells the community it “is more like the cave where Jesus was born.” Burt, the huge Australian crocodile who had a cameo in ‘Crocodile Dundee,’ dies at 90 The Crocosaurus Cove reptile aquarium in Darwin, Australia, says the huge crocodile that rose to fame with a cameo in the movie “Crocodile Dundee” has died.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe aims to fly closer to the sun like never before NEW YORK (AP) — A NASA spacecraft is about to make the closest approach to the sun. The Parker Solar Probe was launched in 2018 to get a close-up look at the sun. On Tuesday, Parker will pass within a record-breaking 3.8 million miles of the sun’s surface. That's nearly seven times closer to the sun than previous spacecraft. Scientists won’t hear from Parker until a few days after the flyby. It’ll continue circling the sun at this distance until at least September. Scientists hope to better understand what drives the solar wind and why the corona is so much hotter than the sun's surface. 174 Colorado skiers and snowboarders rescued after a lift cracks WINTER PARK, Colo. (AP) — Officials are investigating what caused a crack in a Colorado ski lift that forced the evacuation of over 170 stranded skiers and snowboarders. The evacuation happened Saturday on a gondola lift at Winter Park Resort. A spokesperson says the lift stopped automatically when a crack was detected in a structural piece of the lift. Passengers were lowered down by ropes over the course of about five hours. No injuries were reported during the rescues, which came at the start of the busy holiday season.

It returned just $35 million in domestic ticket sales.
JERUSALEM Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that there has been “certain progress” in negotiations with Hamas over the exchange of prisoners, but acknowledged he was uncertain about how long the talks would take. Speaking to the Knesset, Netanyahu stressed that securing the release of those still held in Gaza remains a top priority. “I cannot share all the details of our actions, but we are taking significant steps at all levels to bring our loved ones home,” he said. Netanyahu attributed the progress in negotiations to three main factors: the death of Hamas' former political bureau leader Yahya Sinwar, Hamas' failure to receive expected support from Iran and Hezbollah, and the ongoing military pressure on Hamas in Gaza. “I cautiously say that there is certain progress, but I do not know how long it will take,” he added. Israeli sources have indicated that Tel Aviv is pursuing a two-phase deal: a “humanitarian” phase involving the release of women, the elderly, and the wounded, followed by a second phase aimed at ending the war and withdrawing Israeli forces from Gaza. Earlier on Monday, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said that he would strongly oppose any potential prisoner swap with Hamas, calling it “bad,” according to Maariv daily. On Saturday evening, thousands of Israelis protested across the country, demanding a comprehensive prisoner exchange deal. Demonstrations took place in Tel Aviv near the Defense Ministry, as well as in Jerusalem, Beersheba, Kiryat Gat, and Ofakim, according to Haaretz. Israel has continued a genocidal war on Gaza that has killed more than 45,300 people, most of them women and children, since an attack by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023. Last month, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel is also facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza. - Houthi attacks Netanyahu also addressed regional threats, stating that Israel is closely monitoring Iran's nuclear ambitions. “We are determined to prevent them from obtaining nuclear weapons,” he said. In recent days, Israel has carried out targeted strikes on strategic Houthi positions in Yemen. Netanyahu confirmed the Israeli military had been instructed to carry out these operations. “This is not the last operation. Anyone who tries to harm us will face our relentless force,” he added. On Thursday, Israel’s military reported that 14 fighter jets had attacked five targets in Yemen, marking the third such strike since Israel’s offensive on Gaza began over 14 months ago. In response, Houthi media reported that Israeli airstrikes targeted ports and energy infrastructure in the capital Sanaa and in the Red Sea coastal province of Al Hudaydah, killing nine people and injuring three. The Houthis, in solidarity with Gaza, which has been facing an Israeli genocidal war since Oct. 7, 2023, have targeted Israeli cargo ships or those associated with Tel Aviv in the Red Sea, with missiles and drones, expressing a determination to continue operations until the end of the onslaught on the enclave. Since the beginning of 2024, a coalition led by the US has been carrying out airstrikes that it said are targeting Houthi locations in parts of Yemen in response to attacks by the group in the Red Sea. The counterattacks have been occasionally met with retaliation from the group. With the intervention of Washington and London, and an escalation of tensions, the Houthis announced that they consider all American and British ships military targets. *Writing by Mohammad SioMan charged with killing GPD officer was filling Instacart order in Food Lion, woman says

(QNA) Related Story Shura Council heads meeting of Gulf-European Parliamentary Committee Potential Qatar-Sweden joint projects seen in emerging technologies(The Center Square) – Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is disappointed in an electric vehicle manufacture that’s been approved for state tax credits but is struggling. In July 2023, Pritzker joined other officials and Lion Electric in Joliet for the company's ribbon cutting. The Canadian company produces electric school buses and is in line for Illinois tax credits through the Reimagining Energy and Vehicles, or REV tax credit. Since then, Lion Electric’s stock has dropped and Bloomberg reported the company plans to lay off 400 people, or half its workforce. Pritzker said the company has not received any state tax dollars. “If they reach the goals that they’ve set with us, and there’s an agreement that gets set, hiring a certain number of people, fulfilling on a certain amount of investment, then they receive the benefit of those tax credits,” Pritzker said Wednesday at an unrelated event. “But if they don’t, then they haven’t lived up to their part of the agreement, the state does not owe them anything. But look, I’m very disappointed in their progress.” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker says Lion Electric, which reportedly is laying off half its staff, have not received any state tax dollars. He says if they don't meet a certain agreement, they won't get tax credits. Pritzker laid the blame on President-elect Donald Trump for the sluggish EV market. “There’s an awful lot of pressure that’s been put on electric vehicle companies as a result of Donald Trump’s rhetoric and promises that he’s made to kind of tear down the electric vehicle ... industry development,” Pritzker said. State Rep. Dan Caulkins, R-Decatur, said Pritzker’s vision of using tax funds to prop up the EV industry is wrong and the market should cater to what consumers want. “You can’t force people to buy electric cars,” Caulkins said. “It’s not going to work.” Lion Electric’s stock dropped from $2.47 a share in July 2023 to 34 cents a share this week.
