From student loans and post-graduate tuition to the bonds used to build dormitories, the tax bill Republicans in Congress are trying to pass before Christmas could have a significant impact on the finances of colleges, universities and the people who attend them. The bill is not yet final. The House and Senate passed competing bills; Republicans are now trying to hash out a compromise. Both chambers have to vote to approve the final product before President Trump can sign it into law. They hope the tax changes would, with some exceptions, take...
Earlier this year the U.S. Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision. The justices ruled 8-0 in Endrew F. vs. Douglas County School District that Endrew, a child with autism, was entitled to an educational program that required more than the "de minimis"—or minimum—progress set by his assigned school. This landmark decision was rightly hailed as a victory for the millions of children with disabilities and their families in America today. Too often, the families of disabled children have felt that their children are not being adequately cha...
A 542-page bill overhauling the Higher Education Act (HEA) was introduced by Republicans on a House committee last week. Buried in that bill are the GOP's provisions concerning sexual assault on campus that critics say would make preventing instances of assault more difficult and further alienate survivors. The provisions in this bill would allow Title IX campus climate surveys, which tell students how many sexual assault cases occur on their campus, to be conducted by colleges and unregulated by the government. They would also make it...
Students at Mary McLeod Bethune Middle School in south DeKalb County were supposed to be released from school at 1:30 Friday, prompted by the steadily falling mix of snow and rain seen across metro Atlanta. Buses were still pulling up a half hour after the scheduled early dismissal. http://www.myajc.com/news/local-education/snow-gives-school-leaders-agonizing-decision/E24NvRn9LJtfQU9XWSkvyO/...
Hundreds of Southern California schools shut down this week as a result of at least a half-dozen raging wildfires, stretching from north of Los Angeles to San Diego County. It’s the second time in two months that fires have disrupted the school year in the state. More than 200,000 students have been affected by school closures in about two dozen districts, the largest being the Los Angeles Unified School District, which closed at least 265 schools, officials said.

The debate over the use of sovereign immunity to protect patents from post-issuance reviews at the USPTO’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) has taken another turn. Late last week Apple filed an IPR against a patent held by MEC Resources, an entity owned by the Native American Three Affiliated Tribes, which had previously filed an infringement suit against the iPhone maker in a California district court. Sovereign immunity as an IPR defence has become one of the patent stories of the year. It was used first (successfully) by several state u...
The Cherokee Braves hoisted the 1A State Championship trophy on Saturday, Dec. 9 in a wet, snowy, and cold Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh. The trophy was easy to lift because not only the players were helping to hold it up, but they were also being helped by a legion of loyal fans and an entire nation – the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. All season long, the Braves have been supported by some of the most loyal fans in high school sports – anywhere! How loyal are they? https://theonefeather.com/2017/12/on-the-sidelines-c...
There is an uncomfortable, even painful re-balancing going on across so much of society. The old world of male hegemony is slowly coming to an end. Minnesota’s Sen. Al Franken lost his office because of his own actions — and that broader change. “I, of all people, am aware that there is some irony in the fact that I am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office, and a man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the Senate with the full support of his party,” Sen Fra...
During the Senate hearings that put Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court this year, Democrats made it clear they were leery of his conservative judicial record. Gorsuch was confirmed in April along party lines, and no Western Democrat voted in his favor. But Gorsuch has a strong background in Indian law and a record of recognizing tribal sovereignty and self-determination, and, those concerns notwithstanding, his nomination may well represent a potential positive development on big cases in Indian Country. http://www.hcn.org/ar...
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke loves to portray himself as a humble, outdoorsy man of the people, a loving steward of the purple mountain majesties and fruited plains so dear to the American people. In defending the Trump administration's recent choice to drastically shrink the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments in Utah, Zinke claimed, "We listen to the voices of the people, not Washington, D.C., special interests." In reality, the opposite is true. The way Zinke runs the Interior Department makes it clear that the only...
A Native American tribe in Wisconsin is suing opioid manufacturers in federal court in what might be the first such lawsuit in the country. The St. Croix Chippewa Indians are hoping for damages from manufacturers and distributors of prescription drugs like percocet and oxycotin. They say the cost of treating addiction has burdened their community. https://www.wortfm.org/st-croix-chippewa-indians-sue-opioid-manufacturers/...
Wisconsin lawmakers are considering a bill that would allow members of federally recognized tribes to use their tribal identification cards for voter registration and more. The bill would allow tribal ID cards to be used to pick up medication at a pharmacy, as well as buy alcohol and tobacco products. State Sen. Jerry Petrowski, R-Marathon, said other states recognize tribal IDs as official forms of identification, including Idaho, Minnesota and Washington. https://www.wpr.org/lawmakers-push-recognition-tribal-id-cards...
MAHWAH, New Jersey (WABC) -- It has been a yearlong battle that they say is far from over despite a judge's ruling last month. On Sunday, members of the Ramapough Lenape Nation gathered on sacred ground - a show of support as the tribe faces an uncertain future. "The town and neighbors don't want us here," said Owl, a member of the tribe. http://abc7ny.com/society/native-american-tribe-taking-stand-against-tepee-take-down-order/2766301/...
If things had gone differently this summer, you might be reading an article by Marlan Chookomolin right now. The twenty-five-year-old First Nations man from Thunder Bay, Ontario was due to begin his studies in communications at the local Confederation College in September. Ron Chookomolin, Marlan’s father, describes his son’s ambitions: “he will go into journalism,” he says, still using the simple future tense before he corrects himself. “He was excited. Marlan believed he was the only person who could communicate with Indigenous people un...

On Friday, Mei Rui, a cancer researcher and concert pianist, was aboard a Spirit Airlines flight from her hometown of Houston to Newark, N.J.

Two Minnesota lawmakers — a Republican woman and a Democratic man — have a plan to revamp the way the state House deals with sexual harassment allegations. The plan, which they announced Monday, would speed up the process for allegations to be addressed and allow anyone — not just fellow lawmakers — to make a complaint. http://www.twincities.com/2017/12/11/mn-capitol-sexual-harassment-two-lawmakers-say-theyve-got-a-plan/...
