Netflix has filed a request for Dismissal and Anti-SLAPP. Netflix provided a Declaration from Richard Gadd including many exhibits proving Fiona Harvey sent Richard Gadd harassing emails, text messages, voice mails, and also accusations of stalking a Member of Parliaments' wife.These exhibits show that Harvey did do the things detailed in the mini series but was not a "beat by beat" recount of what happened. The Judge made a ruling by denying the Anti-SLAPP and dismissed some of the causes of action from Fiona's case; only leaving the Defamation and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress. The line in the Netflix show that said, “this is a true story” was false and can imply malice because it can lead the viewer to believe that all of the things that happened in the series were true when that is not the case. It is likely that the case will go to mediation and settle out of court.Netflix is being sued for defamation by John Wilson for the documentary: Operation Varsity Blues - The College Admissions Scandal.

Education Headline RoundupThis week in the roundup of latest news and headlines impacting education:Ohio is set to increase the prices for teacher licensing fees in order to prevent the Ohio Board of Education from having a $3.5 million budget shortfall next year.In response to a growing literacy crisis, Oregon has so far distributed about $28 million in grants aimed at bolstering reading education. This initiative represents a critical effort to enhance educational outcomes and address systemic challenges in early education. According to NPR, “Surveyed schools in Oregon remain nearly two-thirds of a year behind pre-pandemic levels in reading,” and “learning loss in Oregon is roughly two to three times worse than national averages.”Schools across the nation are facing an alarming increase in student absences. Recent Pew Research data polled educators across the nation; 61% of high school teachers said chronic absenteeism was a problem at their schools. Researchers are pointing to a cultural shift in the wake of COVID-19 concerning our relationship to school.The Great College Con: Operation Varsity BluesThis week we take a walk through the concealed corridors of privilege and power within the U.S. college admissions system. A wide-ranging scandal known as Operation Varsity Blues (unveiled in March 2019) reflects the complex, often unseen mechanisms that shape educational access and equity at some of the U.S.'s most elite colleges and universities.Operation Varsity Blues exposed a network of wealthy parents and college coaches, who with an orchestrator named Rick Singer manipulated admissions systems to favor their children, often without the students' knowledge. Singer's scheme involved a so-called "side door" into prestigious colleges, and his activities facilitated more than $25 million in bribes. Through fabricated athletic profiles and manipulated standardized test scores, the scandal implicated celebrities, executives, and coaches. The scandal prompted a reevaluation of admissions policies and the role of standardized testing in evaluating scholastic merit.We'll discuss whether meritocracy has become a myth, what part test-optional policies play in admissions reform, the impact on student mental health brought by the college application rat race, and how college rankings apply pressure to the admissions process.Thanks for listening!Sources & Resources:Watch Out: Tornado Alley Is Migrating Eastward | Scientific AmericanIowa vs. South Carolina TV ratings: How 2024 NCAA women's championship broadcast compares to other sportsOhio's Board of Education expresses budget crisis following education department overhaul | 10tv.comOhio school board may raise teacher license fees as budget shortfall loomsOregon schools' pandemic recovery lags behind much of the nation : NPROregon Literacy Crisis: State distributes millions in grants aimed at reading educationA Crisis of School Absences - The New York TimesWhat's It Like To Be a Teacher in America Today? | Pew Research CenterAbsent Peers, Present Challenges: The Differential Impact of In-Person and Virtual Classmate Absences on Future Attendance | Texas Tech College of EducationTV celebrities and coaches charged in college bribery scheme | AP NewsWeb Archive - About The KeyDo donations influence college admissions? | Higher Ed DiveActresses, Business Leaders and Other Wealthy Parents Charged in U.S. College Entry Fraud - The New York TimesWho's Been Charged in the College Admissions Cheating Scandal?

Full Hour | In today's third hour, Dom leads off the Dom Giordano Program by telling about a ridiculous giveaway by the Trenton Thunder, who have decided to offer free Narcan for attendees of an upcoming game. Then, Giordano and Producer Dan enter into a discussion centered around student loans and college attendance, with Dom reporting a decrease in enrollment, asking whether the narrative around student loans and high tuition prices have deterred some from secondary education. This leads Dom to tell about an incident playing out with Georgetown University, in which a father was charged for falsifying information in an effort to gain admission for his daughter. Then, after getting word of a news conference by the Department of Justice, Dom takes Attorney General Merrick Garland as he answers questions related to the FBI raid of Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago.

In 2019, the world first became aware of Rick Singer, a supposed “mastermind” behind the now infamous College Admissions Scandal. Singer's web of deceit entangled everyone from high-powered CEOS to Hollywood stars, capitalizing on the rising fever and fraud endemic in higher education. Singer, a slender yet brash ex-basketball coach ingratiated himself with dozens of families, coaches, and administrators in an attempt to exploit loopholes and oversights, ultimately rewarding his wealthy clients with what he called a “side door” into higher education.We now know that untold numbers of these marks were complicit or even conspiratorial in their cooperation with Singer. Our guest Perry Kalmus, the COO of the Princeton Education Network and founder of AKALA, an organization committed to leveling the playing field in higher education is here to give us an insiders perspective of this story while reminding listeners that regardless of the schadenfreude that has dominated the tabloid media, hundreds of seemingly obscure or unknown colleges and universities can provide high quality, vocationally focused education for anyone who is willing to look beyond the outdated, high profile college rankings.
