Dr. Julie Ann Freischlag, Wake Forest Baptist’s chief executive and medical school dean, said about the $3.4 billion in capital investments “not only will this improve care delivery, it will also have a tremendous, positive effect on our Local and statewide economy.” Nathan Hatch, president of Wake Forest, said the collaboration will “create the future of medical education … becoming one of the largest educators of physicians and other medical professionals in the state.” The goal is educating more than 3,500 total students across more than 100 specialized programs each year.

Pastor accused of urinating on woman on Delta flight still not ID’d
Ronald Wright, professor of criminal law at the Wake Forest School of Law, said that federal authorities likely are using an exception outlined in the federal Freedom of Information Act regarding criminal law enforcement matters. “In the short run, they are saying that they can withhold the (pastor’s) name until the court process gets underway,” said Wright, a former attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice. “Once the case gets filed in federal court, the records themselves are public.”

You know you want to look: Grad student has made a specialty of morbid curiosity
This basic urge — to look at what we know we probably shouldn’t look at — may even contain a more basic desire to empathize. In his 2012 book “Everyone Loves a Good Train Wreck: Why We Can’t Look Away,” Eric Wilson, an English professor at Wake Forest who specializes in the link between literature and psychology, argued our itch to stare into a horror may be partly about recognizing some primal connection with those who have suffered.

North Carolina’s Gen Z Latinos could play big role in the 2020 election
“Right now, the top three issues that are of concern to the Latino electorate at the national level and in North Carolina are jobs/the economy first, then immigration and health care,” said Wake Forest political science professor Betina Cutaia Wilkinson. “In 2016, 30% stated that they’d be willing to vote for a Republican candidate if the Republican candidate proposed a pathway to citizenship to unauthorized immigrants,” Wilkinson said. “That sheds light on the fact that it’s not a done-deal that Democrats can count on Latinos, the Latinx community, for now and forever.”

A time to heal, a time to build
“We have shared the hope that although differences on church-state matters will inevitably persist (our nation, after all, has been arguing about some of these questions since the beginning of the republic), those differences can be narrowed, principled compromises can be forged, and the work of lifting up the least among us can be carried out and celebrated across our lines of division,” said Melissa Rogers, Wake Forest School of Divinity professor.

North Adams ‘perfect microcosm’ for new book ‘Historic Houses of Worship in Peril’
“Public space is hard to come by, especially one that won’t charge you much,” said Thomas Edward Frank, professor and associate dean for continuing studies at Wake Forest. Frank authored “Historic Houses of Worship in Peril: Conserving Their Place in American Life.” “There’s a diversity of things that a church can be used for, that will allow the congregation to continue meeting there — day care, Rotary Club, neighborhood associations. It’s also great if a building can continue under a new owner.”

Cooper administration encourages 36 counties to enhance COVID-19 restrictions
“This letter does not add anything legally to what Localities can already do,” said John Dinan, a political science professor at Wake Forest and a national expert on state legislatures. “But, this letter seems intended as a way to signal that although the state is not tightening its policies, Localities remain free to do so, as a way of targeting geographical areas of concern without setting an even more stringent state policy.”

Applying to college? These virtual events offer information, save you money
Colleges hope students understand virtual fairs are important and can help them make a decision about what college they attend. “Sometimes this process can be filled with a lot of anxiety,” said Dawn Calhoun senior associate dean of admissions at Wake Forest. “So I think having somebody to talk to, to get support from, is really helpful.”

Climate action as a new legal path to climate protection
Outside of the United States, the human rights approach is the most successful legal strategy to date in trying governments for inadequate action against the climate crisis, said John Knox, an expert on international environmental law at Wake Forest.

Marshall pushed to aid physician-owned hospitals. His wife profited from land under them
As Kansas scrambled to combat the pandemic in April, Rep. Roger Marshall signed a letter to top congressional leaders proposing 10 actions to fight COVID-19, including lifting a decade-old ban on new hospitals owned by physicians. Mark Hall, a professor of law and public health at Wake Forest, said it’s more difficult for a small community to sustain both a general hospital and a physician-owned facility compared to a city with a larger population. “It’s very hard for the established community hospital to survive.”
