-- arguing that the data is too easily falsified and the indicators used irrelevant to what makes a school worthy. Then again, Forbes publishes their own college ranking list every year, too.Forbes isn't the only one against the rankings. In a 2012 opinion piece for CNN, former George Washington University President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg dismissed the rankings, saying they don't "begin to express the quality, comprehensiveness and special character of the more than 4,000 colleges and universities in the country."The rankings create a national obsession, pushing the false belief that if a student doesn't get into a select school, which is typically accompanied by a high price tag, then "life will never be worth living," Trachtenberg writes. He also discusses the ways in which schools can falsify their data, which Forbes also points out.And they're not wrong.In May, seven years after Trachtenberg wrote his piece, it was revealed that the University of Oklahoma gave "inflated" data on its alumni giving rates for twenty years, in an effort to improve their ranking. Alumni giving, an indicator used by U.S. News to detemine a school's rank, is weighted at 5%.Even before Oklahoma, Claremont McKenna College in California 1238

With ventilators hard to find amid the spread of the coronavirus, families across the world worked together to find a ventilator for a child in Ecuador. Wilson, at age 18 months, is at an age one half of children with Centronuclear Myopathy don't get to see."At the beginning, they didn’t get any diagnosis, it was 5 months until they got the diagnosis. The first months it was very uncertain what was going to happen. They had no idea and because of the disease is very, very uncommon and rare, the doctor had no idea," said Jen Bilbao, translator for the family."These children are born very weak, a majority of them do not breathe spontaneously on their own. They cannot eat orally, cannot sit up on their own," said Alison Frase, Joshua Frase Foundation cofounder.That means they need a ventilator, something that was in short supply here in the U.S. just a few weeks ago, but is nearly impossible to find in Ecuador. Frase's son, Joshua, was born with Myotubular Myopathy in 1995. He passed away 15 years later. And in his death, Alison started the Joshua Frase Foundation and an equipment exchange program."That’s the first family we have in Ecuador because normally the children there with this kind of diseases, unfortunately they don’t survive because there is not equipment," said Bilbao. "It’s very, very hard for them to go home so there’s little that they can do for them."Bilbao used to live in Ecuador. Now, she’s in Germany. She started CNM – Together Strong!, an association that helps families with centronuclear myopathies in Germany after her son was born with Myotubular Myopathy. Wilson’s parents got ahold of her after finding information online in Spanish — asking for help finding a ventilator so they could bring Wilson home."She was very desperate because she thought she was going to be at the hospital her whole life," Bilbao said, translating for Wilson's mom.Bilbao reached out to Frase to see if there was anything she could do to help."I was scrambling making posts on our private groups looking for the equipment to piecemeal this ventilator together," said Frase. "I knew I had a ventilator from, unfortunately, a child, actually a young man, that had passed this year, and I reached out to that mom, and she said absolutely you can have it."The ventilator came from a family in Utah, the plug, connectors, and other parts from another family in Utah, and the humidifier from a family in Texas. They were shipped to Bilbao’s brother who still lives in Ecuador to take to the family."We couldn’t ship it to the hospital because they were feeling that it’s going to get lost at the hospital. Then where they live there’s no post office because they don’t live in the city they live outside the city, it’s very hard for the post to get packages to them," said Bilbao.For Wilson’s parents, this gift is more than just a medical device."They felt really like they could breathe again. So it was not only a breath for their child, but a breath for them because they didn’t know what to do. And to know that somebody was going to help, it was very peaceful," said Bilbao. 3107

as part of the proposed tentative agreement reached with the United Automobile Workers union (UAW). The plant will close if the UAW-Ford Council and rank-and-file members approve the contract.The news comes one day after the union and automaker reached a proposed tentative agreement, which still has to be voted on by the national council to become an official tentative agreement and then ratified by 55,000 Ford-UAW workers.According to sources, the 600 employees who work at the engine plant will be offered jobs at the Ford Van Dyke Transmission Plant, which is located about 14 miles away. Workers can also take buyout packages and retire.Sources say no other plants will close under the proposed contract.The union began negotiations on Monday with Ford for a new contract. There has been no work stoppage with Ford employees, a stark contrast to the 40-day work stoppage General Motors employees wagered last month.Plant closings were a major issue between GM and the UAW after the company announced it would close four plants this year. Those plants included Warren (Michigan) Transmission, Lordstown, Ohio Assembly and Detroit Hamtramck Assembly. Detroit Hamtramck will remain open, building all-electric trucks and vans. Hundreds of workers in Lordstown had to move to seven other states to continue working for GM. Workers in Warren have transferred to Flint and other plants in distant cities.The Ford UAW Council will travel to Detroit from 18 states and will vote whether to send the Tentative Agreement to the rank and file tomorrow. Then, 55,000 Ford workers will have about a week to vote yes or no through their local unions in those 18 states.This story was originally published by Jim Kiertzner on 1722

at the state capitol Monday evening.The crowd sang songs like "This Little Light of Mine," held signs reading "Black Lives Matter," and chanted "no justice, no peace."They walked from Legislative Plaza to the Capitol to stand in front of National Guard troops. One of the protesters asked the guardsmen to drop their shields, and they did."We want to invite these law enforcement officers to lay down their swords and shields and join us," one of the protest organizers said.The troops did not join in on the songs or chants, but the crowd erupted in cheers as some of the guardsmen laid down their shields, allowing the activists to continue to peacefully protest."We want to thank our National Guard for being on the right side of history. We want to thank our National Guard for making Tennessee proud," another organizer said. 832
