DAILY BRIEFING At least 23 mayors who have taken part in the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative have gone on to endorse Michael R. Bloomberg’s presidential candidacy. The program, started in 2017, has schooled some of the nation’s most prominent mayors, including Chicago’s Lori Lightfoot and Philadelphia’s Jim Kenney. In other news, Harvard added South Korea to its list of restricted travel locations as the University focuses on “contingency planning” for the possible spread of COVID-19 in the United States.
Five people were killed yesterday when a man opened fire at Molson Coors’s headquarters in Milwaukee. Today, the victims were identified by police. Police Chief Alfonso Morales also identified the gunman, but has not yet stated a motive for the shooting.
Government Survey Finds More 4 in 10 Americans Are Obese
Have obesity rates in America waned? Think again: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed results Thursday from a 2017-2018 health survey showing that the American adult obesity rate currently sits at 42 percent, an increase from four years ago, when it was reported at about 40 percent.
AROUND THE IVIES CORNELL
A Cornell student was stabbed after intervening in an altercation at the Agava Restaurant, located near campus, during its Wednesday Salsa Night, according to the Cornell Daily Sun. The student, whose name has not been disclosed, was reported to be in critical condition and had to be transferred to a nearby hospital. Another individual who was injured in the altercation that evening is reported to be in “critical, but stable condition.” Police are still looking for a male suspect “in his late 20s to early 30s” who fled from the scene in a white Nissan Altima.
PRINCETON Earlier this week, around 50 graduate students at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School held a demonstration to voice support for a pilot program that would institute a half-term distribution requirement focused on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, according to the Daily Princetonian. The demonstration took place near a room where a council of faculty members were discussing the issue. Princeton also recently announced that starting with its class of 2024, undergraduate students will be required to take a class that centers on Culture and Difference.
UPENN
The University of Pennsylvania’s Board of Trustees has approved a resolution that will raise its total cost of attendance to $76,826 for the 2020-2021 academic year, the Daily Pennsylvanian reported. The overall figure represents a 3.9 percent increase from the previous year, when the cost of attendance totalled $73,960. UPenn President Amy Gutmann said that while UPenn currently has the second highest cost of attendance of all schools in the Ivy League, Columbia University remains in the top spot.
