The Trump building list that mysteriously disappeared
Federal workers were alarmed when their office buildings were on a target list for disposal. “Regional offices are the intersection between national consistency and local flexibility,” said Stan Meiburg, executive director of the Andrew Sabin Family Center for Environment and Sustainability at Wake Forest. A possible Trump administration move to consolidate EPA regional offices would be very disruptive. "My concern is that one way to make EPA less effective is to induce that level of disruption into the operations of the agency.”

Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump joined the advisory board of Dominari Holdings in February and acquired stakes in the company, sending its stock soaring—but filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and online searches reveal little evidence of the advisory board before their appointments.“Anybody should know this is political patronage. This is not the purchase of expertise,” said Alan Palmiter, a professor who specializes in corporate law and securities regulation at Wake Forest University who reviewed the company’s SEC filings at Forbes’ request.

Lessons from history can help restore stability
"History suggests that public accountability and institutional checks can restore stability in government.

Triad residents call Trump’s divisive speech microcosm of second term to date
Politics professor John Dinan said Trump tried to capitalize on the speech by attracting a sizable public audience and giving him a chance to appeal directly to the public. “He asked the public to bear with him through this disturbance. Ultimately, though, presidential success or failure is determined not by the effectiveness of speeches, but by whether the public sees positive results, especially on the economy, but also in foreign affairs and in other areas. Those will have to be determined in coming months and years."

Scores of wildfires broke out across North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia in early March 2025 as strong winds, abnormally dry conditions and low humidity combined to kindle and spread the flames. Most of North and South Carolina have been abnormally dry or in moderate drought since at least November 2024. Consistently dry conditions through the winter dried out vegetation, leaving fuel for wildfires. When the land and vegetation is this dry, all it takes is a lightning strike or a man-made fire and wind gusts to start a wildfire.

I like to think of it like using a Fitbit, but for your dollars," said Norma R. Montague, senior associate dean of Academic Programs.

Revised book highlights religious freedom for African Americans
“The political struggle we’re witnessing today is not simply one over policy but one that involves the very meaning of community, the very meaning of citizenship and the very meaning of solidarity. If we are to achieve the democracy that speaks meaningfully to our collective lives and our collective future, we must first recognize the profound entanglement of race and religious freedom," said Dean of Wake Forest School of Divinity Corey D.B. Walker.

At face value, the Kremlin has plenty to celebrate after U.S. and Russian officials held high-level bilateral talks on the war in Ukraine for the first time since the full-scale conflict began in 2022. Russian delegates at the meeting, which took place on Feb. 18 in Saudi Arabia, struck an ebullient tone. This perceived rapprochement between Washington and Moscow has many critics on both sides of the Atlantic. Within Russia the reaction has been mixed. And not everybody in Moscow is celebrating the apparent shift in U.S. policy. This article was reprinted in media outlets worldwide.
