The Wall Street Journal reports that the proposed Protect College Sports Act is a federal effort to create nationwide rules for college athletics as schools, athletes, conferences, and lawmakers grapple with the rapidly changing world of NIL (name, image, and likeness) compensation and athlete payments.  The growing shortage of academic jobs for Ph.D. graduates is not just a crisis, but a sign that higher education is producing more doctorates than the academic job market can absorb. For years universities have trained large numbers of Ph.D. students even as the number of tenure-track professorships has stagnated or declined. As a result, many graduates face temporary positions, lower-paying jobs, or careers outside academia.  A pair of new California laws will allow the California Community Colleges system to offer up to 12 new bachelor's degree programs each year, expanding beyond the limited number previously allowed. The goal is to help fill workforce shortages in high-demand fields where four-year degree programs may be limited or unavailable.

Trump is promising a $5,000 "Trump Dividend" for every American adult if Republicans keep control of Congress after the midterms. The proposal would likely cost over $1 trillion, faces legal and constitutional questions about spending authority, and would almost certainly require congressional action.  The latest development in the Lindsay Clancy case centers on the lone holdout juror whose vote prevented a unanimous verdict. The defense wants the judge to investigate his conduct and truthfulness, while the juror's attorney argues that such an investigation would unfairly target a juror simply because he disagreed with the other eleven members of the panel.   The story is about fallout from a viral video showing Nathan Milliron angrily confronting an IT employee. Subsequent emails in which the judge told a subordinate "I'm much smarter than you" intensified criticism and fueled a broader debate in Houston's legal community about judicial conduct, professionalism, and accountability.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram
