"The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on June 30 that West Virginia and Idaho did not violate the Constitution by preventing transgender students from joining female sports teams, and that states can restrict who participates on women’s and girls sports teams based on a student’s sex assigned at birth. This ruling, focused squarely on transgender students participating on single-sex sports teams, does not resolve other major questions that are important to trans rights," writes law professor Marie-Amelie George.

Microtransit fare hikes may hurt more than help
As agencies across the country look to microtransit to expand mobility in underserved areas while searching for ways to sustain the service amid shrinking federal support and rising operating costs, new research suggests that simply raising fares may do more harm than good. A study led by business professor Jia Li found that across-the-board fare increases in microtransit systems can significantly reduce ridership among occasional users while generating only modest revenue gains.

Hope, pride and skepticism shape Winston-Salem views as America marks 250 years
The Declaration of Independence played a key role in the country's transformation over its 250 years, said history professor Ben Coates. "In the beginning, it (the United States) is really this small, relatively weak nation," Coates said. "And then early on it was able to exert a lot of power in its immediate neighborhood, especially against the indigenous people who lived here, then becoming more of a regional power and in the 20th century becoming a global power."

Christian Miller, professor of philosophy, makes a case for how AI may be affecting our patience and, therefore, our well-being. He says a slow and thoughtful approach for learning and searching throughout life grows our capacity for patience, while our embrace of chatbots for quick answers erodes the opportunity to strengthen this muscle. "We now have a shortcut that can get us answers automatically and instantaneously, recalibrating what is normal. In the past, they were normalized around hours. Now, they're normalized around minutes, perhaps even seconds."

The diploma divide is real, but college doesn’t make students as liberal as people think
Public discussions often focus on the idea that higher education makes students more liberal. “The ideological effects of higher education are a hotly disputed topic in the United States,” said Michael Prinzing, a research scholar at Wake Forest. “Yet the evidence for such effects is remarkably mixed.” Prinzing and his colleague wanted to investigate exactly how political views shift during college and which factors influence those changes. "Overall, our findings reveal an important and growing divide in political identity; they also undermine sweeping claims about ideological effects of higher education.”

School of Business professor Philip Howard offers tips on organizing a household budget. "Group expenses into needs, wants, savings, and debt payments, then create separate categories only where more detail would change behavior. It also helps to plan for irregular expenses with monthly “sinking funds” and automate savings where possible. A budget works best when it becomes a simple routine, not a one-time spreadsheet."
