Religious liberty ‘is not a sword to harm others’
Nothing less than the future of democracy is at stake in the current moment, said Corey D. B. Walker, dean of Wake Forest University School of Divinity. “When the language of religious freedom is deployed to justify exclusion, to deny the dignity of others, or to fuse national identity with a singular religious vision, it ceases to function as religious freedom at all,” he said. “It becomes, instead, a vehicle of domination.”

Federal Reserve holds rates steady as Kevin Warsh chairs his first meeting
The new chair of the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh, presided over his first two-day Fed policy meeting. Despite President Trump’s frequent demands to immediately cut interest rates, Warsh has promised that under his leadership the Fed will remain "strictly independent." "The relationship between Warsh and Trump reminds me of one of those weddings where you just know it’s doomed from the very beginning," said finance professor Deon Strickland.

People are betting on elections in prediction markets. Congress is watching
The rapid rise of prediction markets has prompted questions in Washington, D.C., about how to regulate them and what happens when they intersect with politics. Many of the issues critics raise are theoretical and have not been seen in practice, said economist Koleman Strumpf. "It’s like we’re in the 1930s with financial markets — we have some things that we want to regulate and restrict (as a country), and we’re sort of in the early stages of trying to lay out what the rules are."

Watching World Cup can help kids get moving and more active
Research shows that young people who identify elite athletes as role models are twice as likely to participate in sports. "I don't think the goal is to inspire every kid to be a professional soccer player, but I think it can inspire them to move and want to be involved – play in their backyard, play on the playground, maybe join a recreational team," said health and exercise science teaching professor Abbie Wrights.

Stop working out & start moving!
The CDC says more than 40 percent of U.S. adults are obese, and here’s a statistic that may be even more surprising: only about one in four adults meets the recommended guidelines for physical activity. “A lot of people don’t like the idea of what we kind of think about as traditional exercise, going to a gym, running on a treadmill,” said health and exercise science professor Jason Fanning. That idea is at the center of Wake Forest’s MORPH studies.

Expert reveals the 3 biggest mistakes you can make when parenting a teen
One of the three biggest mistakes when parenting teens is expecting the worst of them. It could become a self-fulfilling prophecy: Negative expectations can actually promote the behavior you fear most. A Wake Forest University study showed that teens whose parents expected them to get involved in risky behaviours reported higher levels of these behaviours one year later.

NC court affirms charging order against Delaware LLC based on personal jurisdiction
A North Carolina appeals court on June 13 affirmed a charging order against a Delaware limited liability company, ruling that personal jurisdiction over the debtor was sufficient to justify the action. “This could lead to a situation where a business is subject to multiple conflicting state laws,” said Mark Reynolds, a constitutional law professor. “Delaware’s incorporation laws exist to provide predictability. If every state can assert jurisdiction based on tenuous ties, that predictability disappears.”

AI boosts demand for liberal arts skills in U.S. jobs
Employers are increasingly signaling that the new premium is not just on technical fluency, but on analytical thinking, communication and judgment, skills long associated with liberal arts training. Wake Forest University career expert Andy Chan said in April 2026 that AI is effectively “resurrecting” the liberal arts for the Class of 2026. His point reflects a widening gap between what employers say they need and what many graduates believe they can prove.

An effective regional plan of action would set out guidance on how the ASEAN states should provide environmental information, facilitate participation in decision-making, ensure effective access to justice…and protect the most vulnerable from environmental harm, through the development of their own national action plans. A plan of action that would not only be of incalculable benefit to the people of the ASEAN region, but it could provide a model for the rest of the world," writes Henry C. Lauerman Professor of International Law John Knox.

Trump, foiled again, lashes out as talks with Iran stall and hostilities flare up
“Trump had a great opportunity to reshape American foreign policy and may have dropped the ball,” said politics professor William Walldorf. “He had a fair amount of political capital, a strong economic recovery, and has wasted a lot of it. The danger for Mr. Trump is that any agreement he assents to may resemble the Iran agreement made in the Obama administration that he twice spurned − or may give critics the opening for saying so, despite inevitable White House assertions to the contrary."

What are prediction markets? Kalshi, PredictIt and Polymarket
Prediction markets have moved from niche curiosity to mainstream investing conversation, giving traders a way to bet on outcomes ranging from elections and inflation reports to sports, crypto and weather. “One should anticipate the possibility of losses if you trade these markets, said political economist Koleman Strumpf. “Successful traders are ones who are able to weather periods of losses against other periods of gains — this is assuming the trader has enough insights for their trading to be successful over the long run.
