Trump is wrong to censor American history
"History informs that debate, but only if the government does not censor what can be taught, written and presented in museums. History can teach us about the evolving understanding of equality, liberty, fairness and the public interest, but only if the government does not fire or threaten to fire the teachers, researchers and administrators who present views that elected officials do not like," writes law professor Sidney Shapiro. This article appeared in newspapers nationwide.

New promise programs launch for families making under $100K
Wake Forest President Susan Wente said she is eager to see how the University’s newly announced North Carolina Gateway program will impact low- and middle-income enrollment. “As a scientist myself, we’re going to pilot this, look at its impact, look at how we can ensure that it’s really achieving what we hope in terms of offering students greater access,” she said. “In terms of the middle and lower income bands, those are the students who often don’t have as many options. So, how do we give them as many options as possible?”

The US troop presence in Iraq doesn’t make sense anymore
"The fact is, there are no longer any good reasons to keep U.S. forces in Iraq. Trump now has an opportunity to bring about a decisive and historic pivot away from a forever war. For the good of U.S. national security, let’s hope he takes it," writes Will Walldorf, politics and international affairs professor and senior fellow at Defense Priorities. Walldorf is currently writing a book titled “America’s Forever Wars: Why So Long, Why End Now, What Comes Next.”

Redford’s reach extends to Winston-Salem; ‘He was something,’ local filmmaker recalls
“What was great about Sundance was that you could be walking down the street and see Francis Ford Coppola and say, ‘Can I have a cup of coffee with you and talk to you about my film?’ It was an incredible way to meet people and have your work shown,” said documentary film professor Peter Gilbert. After the screening of “Hoop Dreams,” Redford pulled aside Gilbert and the others involved in the film, considered by many to be among the best documentaries ever made. “He said, ‘Make what you love, and you’ll do fine.’” Gilbert said. “That’s how he was.”

Economists are not immune to political bias, research shows
"Previous research has found that most people have a strong partisan bias when they make economic predictions. Professional economists can also succumb to such influences—despite their training and market incentives to be accurate," writes economist Aeimit Lakdawala. "Their errors can come at a high price. Financial markets, policymakers, and businesses rely on economists’ forecasts to make major decisions. When the Federal Reserve sets interest rates, when companies plan investments, and when investors allocate portfolios, they often reference these professional consensus forecasts."

Do today’s teens really choose their phones over hanging out?
Overgeneralizing teen behavior can have real consequences, notes psychologist Christy Buchanan. Pigeonholing all teenagers as antisocial and phone-addicted further perpetuates harmful stereotypes and can have adverse effects such as increased social anxiety, lowered self-esteem, and unnecessary parental or school interventions. It can also lead to adults dismissing teens’ real social needs, overlooking opportunities to support healthy friendships, and creating environments where teens feel misunderstood or unfairly judged.

4 retirement insights advisors can’t ignore for university faculty
Deon Strickland, a financial advisor at Scholar Financial Advising and a professor at the School of Business, said, "For a lot of faculty, the job just doesn't feel like something they're racing to leave. My wife likes to joke that it's unfair that part of my finance professor job is reading the Wall Street Journal — but that's the nature of the work. It's intellectually rich, and that keeps people going longer."
