NightSide News Update. We kick off the program with four news stories and different guests on the stories we think you need to know about! For one of our segments this evening we will discuss NHL player Alex Ovechkin's pursuit of Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record!
Trump’s Demands to Harvard! This week, the Trump Administration announced it will “review” nearly $9 billion in federal funding for Harvard University and its affiliates in an effort to "root out antisemitism". The Admin.’s antisemitism task force sent the prestigious university a list of demands detailing what the school must do to avoid cancelation of federal funding. Some of the demands include: an end to diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, merit-based hiring, and admissions reform and with that a demonstration that the changes are “durable,” among other demands. Does this set a bad precedent of allowing presidents and future administrations to withhold federal funding or grants over whatever type of engagement or program they deem discriminatory?
Stock Market Scares! If you think it couldn’t get any worse for the stock market, than it did Thursday, the day after President Trump’s announced reciprocal tariffs, think again! Friday the stock market took its steepest dive yet where the Dow Jones fell 4.4% and the S&P and Nasdaq fell about 5% apiece. Is it time to panic? Do you have stocks and if so, have you sold any of your stocks or do you have confidence in big returns in the future?
