In this episode of Finding Common Battle Grounds, we tackle two legislative/governmental issues related to higher education (article 1 and article 2). First, we discuss the recent legislative initiative in Utah to ban requiring diversity, equity, and inclusion statements as part of the hiring process at public universities in Utah. As we dug into the details on this topic, it became clear that this was a Republican dog-whistle issue. The diversity statements are not about forcing new hires to sign a statement agreeing to adhere to a specific liberal ideology but rather to make sure that they are willing to teach and interact with a diverse group of people, primarily students. Since they are public universities, the faculty at those universities cannot refuse to teach someone because they are transgender, gay, or a black individual. The universities also want to make sure that they have an inclusive environment for diverse students. Banning these statements, which are not required for all new hires, will not accomplish anything other than pandering to the "anti-woke" mobs. On the second topic, we look at the removal of Introduction to Sociology from the courses that can be included in the general education curriculum at public universities in Florida. This was driven by a desire to weed out "woke" topics at universities. Ryan complicated this issue by noting that a sizable percentage of his discipline has turned to "critical sociology," which is basically advocacy masquerading as science. (NOTE: Ryan doesn't consider himself to be in that camp but rather the other side, which he calls "empirical sociology.") Sociologists and most academics opposed this change by the Florida State Board of Education but would be stupid to think that the people proposing this change would be anything but happy to see sociologists in the state weeping, wailing, and gnashing their teeth. For the proponents of removing sociology, that is just further evidence that they have "poked" at woke liberals. In short, this is government meddling in higher education curriculum for no reason other than to score political points, again.

With Valentine's Day approaching, we're less than a month away from the rush to Walgreens for last-minute gifts. The Florida State Board of Education seems to be dancing around diversity, equity, and inclusion. We're not just talking about polka dots here; it's about crucial aspects of education. And speaking of things blowing up, did you hear about the Alaska Airlines flight where a door blew off mid-air? Wait until you find out what they're giving passengers as an apology. In the world of entertainment, "The Color Purple" seems to be thriving, but Warner Brothers disagrees. Guess who they're blaming? It's not Jonathan Majors! Also, someone other than Jonathan Majors is speaking highly of Coretta Scott King—find out who. To cap it off, we'll kick off our Group Chat Topic of the Week: Polyamory. Are you with it or nah? We'll explore this unconventional form of relationship and take your calls. Listen, Laugh, and Learn on The Amanda Seales Show!

The Florida State Seminoles could bail on the ACC and join the Big 10 "within the next month," according to one weekend report. Blue Bloods Bias was the source. However, it should be noted the Florida State Board of Trustees has been discussing such a move since last summer and the Florida State President went so far as to request an ACC exit strategy by the end of the year. The Florida State football snub from the College Football Playoffs after completing an undefeated ACC Championship season only highlights the Seminoles' desire to leave the ACC. The fact remains that the school's departure from the ACC has been a financial necessity for some time. Other conferences are far more lucrative than the ACC. The Big 10 seems like the most likely destination for Florida State. Questions remain, like how soon could this happen and what other ACC school comes with them to the Big 10? In addition to Big 10 expansion news, we visit the latest transfer portal stories around the league. And we have our Big 10 Top 10 observations from the weekend. Check it out right here on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon!  Connect on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/talkbig10 Website: https://talkbig10.com   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

Will they stay or will they go? The Florida State Board of Trustees drew their line in the sand with the ACC this week with former FSU QB Drew Weatherford saying it's not if but when for the Noles departure from the conference. The question remains though, how and when. And to a lesser extent, where to. The Noles are making no secrets about their desire to make a jump happen sooner than later, but it sure seems like it won't be that easy. On this episode, the Seminole Wrap crew — Brian Pellerin, Jon Marchant and Ben Meyerson — take a dive into the latest happenings in the conference realignment tectonic shifts and discuss how soon Florida State needs to get out of the ACC to remain competitive at the highest level. They also dive into Mike Norvell's comments at his camp opening press conference and ACC Kickoff about embracing the expectations his team is facing this season and ramping up practice to be ready for their opening schedule. Plus, the ACC media's preseason poll laid out some clear tiers among the conference's top teams. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

UNC football QB Drake Maye was named pre-season ACC football Player of the Year, but who was snubbed from the All-ACC football team? Tim Donnelly says Payton Wilson of NC State football was the biggest snub. Members of the Florida State Board of Trustees, as well as FSU President Richard D. McCullough, have spoken openly about leaving the ACC, possibly within the next 12 months. The questions are if Florida State is able to do so with the Atlantic Coast Conference media rights deal, and what conference would they go to?

The President's son, Hunter Biden, pleaded not guilty to tax charges after the judge in his case refused to accept the plea agreement, citing concerns about the constitutionality of the immunity the deal would have granted Hunter Biden. The judge deferred the decision, unraveling this deal in federal court and surprising both sides. Before this, Republicans had criticized the plea bargain as a "sweetheart deal," displaying political favoritism. The White House and DOJ are refuting accusations of meddling in the Hunter Biden investigations. On the Rundown, Anchor of The Story on FNC and host of The Untold Story podcast Martha MacCallum joins to discuss what may come next for the President and his son in this legal battle, how the collapse of this plea deal occurred, and what political consequences may be coming for the Biden administration. Vice President Kamala Harris condemned the Florida State Board of Education's new guidelines to teach the state's public schools that slaves developed skills that personally benefited them. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was among the first of many to say Harris and other Democrats' characterization of the new standards were ‘a clear misrepresentation.' Gov. DeSantis fired back, explaining that the new teaching standards were created with the help of African American scholars. Florida Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr. joins the podcast to explain why he and Florida parents are standing behind these new guidelines and why those who helped create the curriculum strongly disagree with the Democratic critiques.

BlazeTV host Chad Prather and contributor Jaco Booyens join the show to discuss House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's recent interview with Sean Hannity, in which he threatened to impeach President Joe Biden. Republicans have been trying to impeach the president for months now, but the speaker has kept quiet over the topic until now. Will the House take the steps to impeach the president or just blow more steam? The Florida State Board of Education released a new set of standards for the African-American history course, and the Left is up in arms. The new curriculum will teach Florida students that slaves were taught skills that were later applied for their benefit. "The View's" Ana Navarro became unhinged as she discussed the new curriculum. Her producers even had to bleep out some of her ranting because it was filled with curse words. More January 6 footage was unearthed by journalist Julie Kelly, and it completely debunks the lie that Capitol police officer Aquilino Gonell was brutally beaten.

As the January 6 House Select Committee fires off a new round of subpoenas focusing on the 'Stop the Steal' group and its involvement in the planning of the rally before the insurrection at the capitol, an attorney for Trump instructs some of the former president's aides not to comply with the orders. The Committee is still trying to find Dan Scavino to physically serve him with papers. The Florida State Board of Education votes to sanction eight school districts for instituting mask mandates without the ability to opt out, but the superintendents argue they were in compliance, citing rising case rates as a reason to implement the mandates. The Biden administration says there are ‘legal concerns' over the Board withholding funds.

For some time now, experts have held that the phenomenon of shareholder activism is in a nascent stage in India. But there can still be no doubt that cases of shareholder activism are on the rise in the country. Meanwhile, proxy advisory firms continue to raise red flags when they feel that something is amiss. This year itself, there have been a number of instances where shareholders have challenged promoters and management. Let's examine how this rising tide has impacted India Inc. Towards the end of September this year, Pune-based Kinetic Engineering Ltd's shareholders rejected the company's proposal to increase Managing Director Ajinkya A Firodia's remuneration.   Earlier, in September, Ekta Kapoor and Sobha Kapoor, who are part of Balaji Telefilms' promoter group, faced shareholder ire and failed to obtain the necessary votes on resolutions proposing pay increase for them.   In August of 2021, shareholders voted down Siddhartha Lal's reappointment as Eicher Motors Ltd's managing director. It was reported that the shareholders were against a proposal to hike Lal's salary by 10 per cent as it outpaced the revenue and profit growth clocked by the firm last year amid the Covid pandemic. Recently, Eicher Motors again sought shareholders' nod on Siddhartha Lal's remuneration. In the past few months, shareholders have overwhelmingly voted against the remuneration proposals for the chairmen of Balkrishna Industries Ltd, Hero MotoCorp Ltd, and Bajaj Auto Ltd.   Clearly, shareholders are not taking kindly to proposals for upping the remuneration takeaways of top executives under the current circumstances. But, that's not the only angle of attack amid the rising tide of shareholder activism. Consider the Zee case, for instance. On 11th September, Invesco Developing Markets Fund and OFI Global China Fund had asked the Zee Entertainment Enterprises board to convene an EGM to induct six of their nominees. In the same letter, Invesco had also proposed the removal of CEO and MD Punit Goenka and two other directors from the board in the EGM. The two other directors in question were Manish Chokhani and Ashok Kurien. Subsequently, Chokhani and Kurien resigned. Invesco recently took the matter to the NCLT. As a result, on 30th September, the NCLT directed the Zee board to consider Invesco's requisition for an EGM. Even one of the biggest names in India Inc has been a target of shareholder activism. Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the chairman of Saudi oil producer Aramco and the governor of that country's sovereign wealth fund, was appointed an independent director on the board of Reliance Industries on 19th July. The appointment has now come up for shareholder vote and the voting process will end on 19th October. Based on the recommendations of proxy advisory company Glass Lewis, the California State Teachers Retirement System has decided to vote against Al-Rumayyan's appointment. According to the proxy advisory firm, since Al-Rumayyan has a key role in the operations of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and Aramco, he does not qualify to be an independent director. PIF has already invested Rs 9,555 crore in Reliance Retail and Rs 11,367 crore in RIL's Jio Platforms. Meanwhile, Aramco and RIL have been in talks for another equity deal that involves 20 per cent of Reliance's oil-to-chemical business. Meanwhile, the Florida State Board of Administration is also against the appointment. Only time will tell how things will play out in some of these evolving cases. However, whatever the end result, one clear fact emerges when you consider all the cases we have spoken about today. Clearly, if India Inc wants to keep itself free from such tussles, it needs to prepare itself for a more transparent future with higher corporate governance standards.  

Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the chairman of Saudi oil producer Aramco and the Governor of that country's sovereign wealth fund, was appointed an independent director on the board of Reliance Industries on July 19 for a period of three years. The appointment has now come up for shareholder vote and the voting process will end on October 19. Based on the recommendations of influential American proxy advisory company Glass Lewis, the California State Teachers Retirement System (CALSTRS) has decided to vote against Al-Rumayyan's appointment.  CalSTRS is the largest educator-only pension fund in the world, and the second-largest pension fund in the US, with about $318.4 billion worth of assets under management.  As of June last year, CALSTRS held 5.3 million fully and partly paid shares of Reliance. This holding is valued at $179 million today. The fund has cited potential conflict of interest, as Reliance plans to sell a 20% stake in its oil-to-chemicals business for $15 billion to Aramco, where Al-Rumayyan is the chairman. The deal was supposed to close by March 2020 but it got delayed. It is in its final stages at present. Given his connection with the Saudi government and the proposed business relationship with Reliance, proxy advisors Glass Lewis said it did not consider Al-Rumayyan as being independent at this time.   In fact, it is not just CALSTRS which is opposed to the appointment. The Florida State Board of Administration, which manages $245 billion, is also against it.  Further, Saudi sovereign wealth fund headed by Al-Rumayyan has already invested $1.3 billion in Reliance Retail Ventures and $1.49 billion in Jio Platforms. Reliance Retail Ventures is a Reliance Industries subsidiary that owns the group's retail businesses, while Jio Platforms is Reliance's digital services unit. In a communication to proxy advisory firms, Reliance strongly defended its move, saying Al-Rumayyan's appointment had no connection with its proposed deal with Aramco. Further, the O2C business was being spun off into a subsidiary which might have nominees from Aramco. Reliance also said its Human Resources Nomination and Remuneration Committee, which had four independent directors in its total strength of five, unanimously recommended his appointment, given his versatile experience. The Mukesh Ambani-led company has so far not addressed the concerns around Al-Rumayyan's connection with the Public Investment Fund, which has investments in Reliance's subsidiaries. Now the question that remains is whether the investors will be satisfied with Reliance's justification, or will they force India's most valuable company to reverse the appointment of Al-Rumayyan. Let's wait and see.

Educators believe training students to think critically involves lessons that dive deep to explore all sides of the issue. However, a recent rule passed by the State Board of Education restricts what students can be exposed to. This type of censorship hurts students and educators alike. For this month's episode of Educating from the Heart, we sat down with Megan Young, a high school English teacher in St. Johns County to talk about the new rule impacts teaching and learning in her classroom.

[00:00:17]Sharon Nesvig, Announcer:  You're listening to educating from the heart. Thank you for joining our lively conversations with teachers, support professionals, parents and students, as they share issues that matter most in our public schools. Here are your hosts, Tina Dunbar and Luke Flynt. [00:00:43] Luke Flynt, Host: We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. Those are words that all school children learn when studying the history of our nation's founding, but those words have a complicated history and students are right to have questions about them. Even at the time they were written those words certainly did not apply to all men, and forget about them applying to women. Let's consider just some facts from Florida history. The 1860 Florida census shows that 44% of the entire state population was enslaved. Fast forward 60 years, and on November 2nd, 1920, 50 African Americans were killed, and the entire black population of Ocoee was forced to leave the town simply for trying to exercise their right to vote.  Three decades after that on Christmas day, 1951, the home of Harry and Harriet Moore was fire bombed, and they both lost their lives. They were targeted because they were organizing their community to ensure equitable education for black students and equitable pay for black teachers. Their perpetrators were never charged, much less convicted. And all this and the country that was founded on the idea that all men have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? [00:02:20] Tina Dunbar, Host: Well, Luke, we all know the tension between the word is found in the founding documents, and the reality of life in America still exists today. A good example occurred over this past summer. We saw the state board of education pass a new rule relating to the teaching of American history, that many educators fear will have a chilling effect on instruction. While it's quite common for the state board to pass rules on what must be taugh...

Though Sally Bradshaw is most known for serving as Jeb Bush's senior advisor during the 2016 presidential race, her accomplishments far exceed politics. The George Washington University graduate is the epitome of success having worked alongside political giants such as former president George H.W. Bush, completed consulting work for award-winning firms such as CoreMessage, and served as a member of the Florida State Board of Education. Additionally, Bradshaw is a sought-after public speaker and most recently, a successful bookstore owner.

Corporate disclosure of risks and liabilities is something that helps investors make informed decisions about where they put their money. A handful of institutional investors, including CalPERS, CalSTRS, the NY State Comptroller and the Florida State Board of Administration, among others, filed a petition with Ceres and the Environmental Defense Fund last September (2007) requesting that the Securities and Exchange Commission require companies to disclose risks to their businesses from climate change. The general idea is that once a risk is analyzed and disclosed, that risk will eventually get managed. The SEC petition was recently updated this June (2008). This podcast is a "recast" of the New York City Bar Associations Environmental Law Committee Environmental Law Interview with Ceres staffer Anne Kelly, Director of Ceres Corporate Governance Program, on the original SEC petition.
