Evening Roundup: NYC Council Member’s Bite Charge Dropped, New York State Responds to Trump’s DEI Threats in Schools and LIU-Brooklyn Roc Nation Scholarship Investigated

from NYC NOW · host WNYC

Charges have been dropped against New York City Councilmember Susan Zhuang after she allegedly bit a police officer's arm at a protest last summer. Plus, the Trump Administration wants school districts to confirm that they aren't using diversity, equity or inclusion programs. And finally, Long Island University in Brooklyn partnered with Jay-Z’s entertainment company to form the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports and Entertainment. Its first class of students were awarded scholarships stating they would “graduate without debt.” But that wasn’t the case. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
