In an exclusive, wide-ranging conversation with The Michigan Insider's Sam Webb, Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel opens up about his decision to step down after more than a decade leading the athletic department, explaining why he came to believe the timing was right both for himself and for the university. Manuel reflects candidly on a tenure he says he leaves with his “head held high,” pointing to an unprecedented stretch of championship success, record-setting academic achievement, major facility investments and the growth of one of the largest athletic departments in the country, while also acknowledging the difficult decisions, controversies and lessons that shaped his evolution as a leader. He discusses what he hopes his legacy will be after 21 years as an athletic director and 11 years at Michigan, why he believes the next AD will inherit a strong organization rather than a rebuilding project, and the advice he would give his successor about navigating the complex alignment between the athletic department, university president and Board of Regents. Manuel also makes clear that his work at Michigan is not finished, detailing his priorities over the remaining months of his tenure as the department confronts rising costs, revenue sharing, corporate sponsorship and the rapidly changing economics of college sports. And while he has not yet decided exactly what comes next, Manuel says retirement is not his mindset at age 58, revealing that he still wants to contribute as a leader in athletics—college, professional or otherwise—while also looking forward to more time with his wife, family and a life beyond the all-consuming demands of the Michigan AD chair.

In 2024, at the height of Israel's US-backed genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, one of the most widespread waves of college campus protests since the Vietnam War exploded across the United States. Then came the repressive backlash. Over the past two years, we've seen a harrowing assault on free speech and the right to protest from the federal government and Zionist organizations, and universities themselves have ramped up their own internal surveillance and repression machines, weaponizing them against their own students, grad students, and faculty.Life, learning, and activism on American college campuses looks very different today than it did in 2024, but the student-led Palestine solidarity movement is not going away. As a new school year begins, we speak with four students at different college campuses across the University System of Maryland (USM), who are all organizers and members of the USM Divestment Coalition for Palestine, about how the movement is maintaining its demands and adapting its tactics in 2026.Additional links/info:USM DIvestment Coalition for Palestine website, Instagram, and LinktreeDiamondback Staff, The Diamondback, “USM students call for divestment from defense companies at Board of Regents meeting”Credits:Audio Post-Production: Alina NehlichBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Let's go!Episode Highlights:Dr. Runge never planned to be a CEO, initially dismissing healthcare leaders before serendipity shaped his path.His personal hospital-at-home experience after hip surgery confirmed that recovery is faster, cheaper, and better at home.Ambient AI, which auto-generates clinical notes, is the one decision at Michigan Medicine that faced almost no dissent.America's top-tier quaternary care leads the world; the real crisis is access, not quality.AI can address the clinician shortage in a year or two, something traditional training pipelines need decades to solve.About our Guest:Marschall S. Runge, M.D., Ph.D., was born in Austin, Texas, and graduated from Vanderbilt University with a BA in General Biology and a PhD in Molecular Biology. He received his medical degree from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He was a cardiology fellow and junior faculty member at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Runge's next position was at Emory University, where he directed the Cardiology Fellowship Training Program. He then moved to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, where he was Chief of Cardiology and Director of the Sealy Center for Molecular Cardiology. He joined the University of North Carolina (UNC) from 2000 – 2014, where he served as Charles Addison and Elizabeth Ann Sanders Distinguished Professor of Medicine, Chair of the Department of Medicine, President of UNC Physicians and Vice Dean for Clinical Affairs.Dr. Runge is the former CEO of Michigan Medicine and Dean of the University of Michigan Medical School, and a practicing cardiologist. Dr. Runge is board-certified in internal medicine and cardiovascular diseases and has spoken and published widely on topics in clinical cardiology and vascular medicine.At the University of Michigan, Dr. Runge began serving as the executive vice president for medical affairs in March 2015 and, in January 2016, he was also appointed as the dean of the Medical School. He is the first person to serve in this combined position created by the Regents for the purpose of strengthening the integration between the Medical School and health care delivery in our hospitals and health centers.During his tenure in these leadership roles, Dr. Runge has implemented transformative change and positioned Michigan Medicine and the Medical School for continued success. Notable achievements during this period include: a significant expansion of Michigan Medicine's clinical network in the state, through integration of two health systems, the former Metro Health in Grand Rapids and Sparrow Health System in Lansing, multiple joint ventures with Trinity Health, launch of the Precision Health Initiative, a major research collaboration with several other U-M schools and colleges; oversight of the conclusion of the Victors for Michigan campaign which raised $1.5 billion dollars for institutional strategic priorities; and the development and implementation of Michigan Medicine's first strategic plan for diversity, equity and inclusion in support of the broader university-wide DEI initiative.Under Dr. Runge's leadership, the University of Michigan Health's adult hospitals were ranked best in Michigan in 2023-2024 in U.S. News & World Report “Best Hospitals” rankings, the 31st consecutive year that U-M Health has been nationally recognized for strong across-the-board performance. In Newsweek's 2024 ranking of America's Best Hospitals, U-M Health ranked #1 in the state and #3 in the country.Current and new initiatives under Dr. Runge's leadership include construction of the The D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion, a 12-story and 264 private room inpatient hospital; working to reduce faculty and staff burnout; executive rounding to help promote employee engagement and retention; establishment of the Heart Brain Institute and Global Health; oversight and development of the Anti-Racism Oversight Committee to help achieve an anti-racist culture; improved access and patient experience through the M2C2 Capacity Center; and the establishment of the Care at Home initiative which focuses on providing safe, hospital-level care to patients in their own home.Dr. Runge has been a physician-scientist for his entire career, combining basic and translational research with the care of patients with cardiovascular diseases and education. He is the author of over 200 publications in the field and holds five patents for novel approaches in health care.Links Supporting This Episode: Dr. Marschall Runge Website: CLICK HEREDr. Marschall Runge LinkedIn page: CLICK HEREThe Great Healthcare Disruption book link: CLICK HEREMike Biselli LinkedIn page: CLICK HEREMike Biselli Twitter page: CLICK HEREVisit our website: CLICK HERESubscribe to newsletter: CLICK HEREGuest nomination form: CLICK HERE

Most families never stop to ask this question before hiring a lawyer: is the attorney still learning, or did they stop once they passed the bar?In this episode of Ask David, David Craig sits down with co-host Ashley Napier to break down why continuing education matters when you're choosing an attorney for a serious truck crash or wrongful death case. Law school teaches everyone how to think like a lawyer, but it doesn't teach anyone how to handle a semi-truck wreck. What separates a good trucking attorney from someone who just happens to take the case is what they've done in the years since. David Craig walks through his own path: from being one of the first lawyers in APITL (the first trucking-only plaintiff group in the country) to serving on the original Board of Regents of the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys, the group that created the ABA-accredited board certification in truck accident law.✔️ Why law school never teaches you how to handle a specific type of case✔️ How continuing legal education rules got looser after COVID (and why that matters)✔️ The difference between a general practitioner and a specialized trucking lawyer✔️ How to research whether an attorney actually keeps learning before you hire them✔️ What CKF's "Winning Truck Wreck Cases" Indiana seminar covers, and who speaks✔️ Why investing in board-certified paralegals changes the outcome for clientsDavid Craig is one of the few attorneys in the U.S. who is Board-Certified in Truck Accident Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and accredited by the American Bar Association. He's one of only four board-certified truck accident attorneys in the entire state of Indiana, and he's spent 39+ years handling semi-truck and commercial vehicle wreck cases. That certification means he meets rigorous experience, ethics, and knowledge standards to hold trucking companies and unsafe drivers accountable.What stood out to David over the years was watching one of the best trial lawyers in the country, John Romano, sitting in the audience at conferences taking notes. If someone that experienced still shows up to learn, the message is clear: the best lawyers never stop.

Together, they represent something Michigan has never seen — and the Arab and Muslim community can't afford to sleep on it.These aren't symbolic campaigns. The U of M Board of Regents and the WSU Board of Governors control billions of dollars, set university policy, shape hiring decisions, and determine the future of hundreds of thousands of students across Michigan.

Cyclospora cases have surged across the U.S., sickening thousands in a foodborne outbreak linked to fresh produce, including iceberg lettuce. The parasite can cause severe diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, fatigue, and weight loss, and outbreaks are often difficult to trace because symptoms may not appear for up to two weeks. Dan spoke with Timothy Lytton, Regents' Professor at Georgia State University College of Law and author of Outbreak: Foodborne Illness and the Struggle for Food Safety, about why cyclosporiasis is just one part of a much larger food safety problem.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Clean Energy Campus In July 2025, the University of California Board of Regents approved a plan to modernize UC Berkeley's energy infrastructure by replacing its aged steam system with efficient, all-electric heating and cooling systems. Today, 90% of Berkeley's power comes from the combustion of natural gas at UC Berkeley's costly and outdated fossil gas cogeneration plant. However, the plant is nearing the end of its life: it has less than a decade of life left, and is a source of frequent, costly, and disruptive repairs on campus (UC Berkeley Clean Energy Campus). In an effort to build a more sustainable future, the plan seeks to phase out fossil fuel use for powering, heating, and cooling campus buildings by 2035 or sooner. Advantages The plan is primarily funded by a capital investment from the State of California, and will be conducted in 3 phases. Phase 1, which will take place from mid-2026 through 2030, will electrify Berkeley's heating and cooling plant, upgrade electrical infrastructure, improve thermal energy storage, distribute heated and chilled water through an underground system, and update the accessibility of landscaping and pathways on campus (UC Berkeley Clean Energy Campus). The plan not only predicts a 70% reduction in carbon emissions from campus buildings by 2028 and a 59% reduction in campus-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 and promotion of energy resilience, but also promises to create new employment and training opportunities, distributing the benefits of clean energy across the campus and the local community (CEC First Phase Underway). The project's primary priority is the establishment of an Electrified Heating and Cooling Plant (EHCP). The new system, rather than relying on steam and natural gas, will develop a fully functional clean energy microgrid. A major component of this includes a “new central electrified heating and cooling plant capable of serving more than 12 million square feet of building space,” located underneath a new recreational field (CEC First Phase Underway). The plant functions primarily through a “geothermal” mechanism: an underground heat exchange will distribute hot and chilled water throughout campus to heat and cool buildings (Berkeley Energy and Resources Collaborative). UC Berkeley is not alone in its goals to phase out fossil fuels — both UC Davis and UC Santa Cruz — are making similar long-term plans for transitioning to renewable energy sources (University of California). Each of the individual campus' goals align with the UC system's new climate policy, which aims to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions across all ten campuses by 2045 (University of California). Drawbacks While the plan would undoubtedly make strides in UC Berkeley's plans to reduce their carbon footprint, its success is not guaranteed. Of the $700 million required to complete the plan, UC Berkeley has currently secured $270 million (Cal Alumni Association). In order to ensure the project is seen through, pressure on campus leadership and the State of California to maintain continued funding is critical. About our guest Sally McGarrahan oversees the Berkeley Clean Energy Campus Project at UC Berkeley's Office of Facility Services. Before joining UC Berkeley, she held executive positions at the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, the City of San José, and the City of Oakland, where she managed large utility systems, capital programs, and public works departments.

In today's edition of The Update Journal, we begin with a betrayal on wheels: being trapped on a packed M10 bus, shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers, backpacks, tote bags, and someone's speakerphone conversation, while another M10 — practically empty and living in luxury — rolls right past like it has diplomatic immunity.

Despite the defense's attempts to frame Mendoza as an independent contractor, Maxey successfully proved that he was an employee in the course and scope of his employment, showcasing Titan's negligence in his lack of training and safety protocols.

Oral Arguments for the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
Board of Regents of the University of Texas v. Boston Scientific Corp.
The greatest risk we face today isn’t that AI is becoming “too smart”; it’s that we are beginning to treat this technology as an infallible “oracle” rather than a capable, yet fundamentally fallible, “intern.” As the baseline for production drops to zero, the economy of human value is shifting away from raw output and toward the only two things a machine cannot authentically replicate: judgment and intent. How should we use AI to augment and enhance our professional output, instead of simply automating and potentially replacing our value? How can we navigate the “Calculator Trap” to ensure our foundational critical thinking doesn’t atrophy? Join us for a conversation with Ted Yang, an MIT-trained engineer and seasoned entrepreneur who has founded more than twelve companies. A former finance executive at legendary firms like Bridgewater and Citadel, Ted is an Emmy-nominated author and a member of Connecticut’s Board of Regents for Higher Education. His new book, Ageless Peak Performance, provides a practical playbook for professionals looking to thoughtfully adopt AI to expand human capability and opportunity. Hosted by: Alexa Raad and Leslie Daigle.

Photo by National Cancer Institute on Unsplash In 2018, NY State passed a law requiring that nurses who graduated with a diploma or associate degree in nursing get a baccalaureate degree within 10 years of becoming licensed in the state if they want to continue to practice as a registered nurse. The NYS Education Department recently issued regulations to implement this law and the regulations were approved by the Board of Regents. HealthCetera host Diana Mason, PhD, RN, talked about this law and the regulations with Ann Harrington, MPA, RN, the Executive Director of the New York Organization of Nurse Leaders, including why the public should care about the issue. This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX Radio on May 13, 2026. The post Nursing Education New Regulation Law appeared first on HealthCetera.

Send us Fan Mail We were told AI would give us more time. For a lot of people, it has done the opposite. More tools to learn. More decisions to make about which tools. More anxiety about whether we are using them right, or falling behind if we are not. There is a new kind of fatigue showing up quietly in people's lives, and almost nobody is naming it yet. It is not burnout from AI taking your job. It is burnout from using AI. Sana sits down with Ted Yang, MIT engineer, former finance executive at Bridgewater and Citadel, founder of more than 12 companies, and author of Ageless Peak Performance, to flip the conversation. AI, used the right way, should not add to your cognitive burden. It should quietly lift some of it off you. They cover the four principles for healthy AI use, why your judgment becomes more valuable with age, and why protecting your humanity is the work. About the Guest: Ted Yang is an MIT engineer, entrepreneur, and former finance executive at Bridgewater and Citadel who has founded more than 12 companies. A worldwide speaker at TEDx, South Summit, Startup Grind, and university commencements, he serves on Connecticut's Board of Regents for Higher Education and is raising a family of two special needs children. His book Ageless Peak Performance: The Playbook for AI-Powered Excellence releases May 18, with endorsements from Governor Ned Lamont and former US Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. Key Takeaways: AI burnout is real, and it is not about the technology itself. It is about using AI to do more of everything instead of using it to rebalance what you carry. Cognitive overload happens when you have too much to keep track of at a good quality level. Even with AI doing the work, your brain still has to manage it. Pattern recognition and judgment improve with age. AI does not replace experienced professionals — used well, it amplifies the very capabilities they have spent decades building. Treat AI like an intern, not an oracle. It is fast and capable, but it makes confident mistakes and does not admit them. Aim first, then accelerate. Make AI flow. Keep your judgment at the center. The four principles for a healthier relationship with AI. AI is not yet ready to replace trained therapists. The path from theory to safe practice took psychoanalysis decades. AI is in a similar early stage and should not be used in place of mental health professionals.

She brings more than 30 years of experience in senior leadership and management consulting roles. Prior to joining Automation Anywhere, she was the chief people officer at HotChalk, where she was responsible for all people functions, legal, and facilities. Before that, Nancy served as the SVP of global human resources and facilities at Silicon Image through its 2015 acquisition, and as SVP of human resources for K12 Inc. (STRIDE) through its 2007 IPO. She also has executive experience at Ruckus Network, Noah's New York Bagels, Gymboree Corporation and Sun Microsystems. She was recognized by HRO Today as CHRO of the Year 2023, for Innovation. Additional recognition includes being named by HR Leadership as one of the Top 100 HR Tech Influencers for 2021, by HRO Today as a Leader of Distinction in North America in 2019. She is also a recipient of the "Stevie Awards" for women in high tech and was named by the Silicon Valley Business Journal as one of the "100 Women of Influence" in Silicon Valley both in 2015. Nancy has served on the Board of Regents for Holy Names College and the Board of Advisors to The Cameron School of Business at The University of North Carolina, Wilmington. What you didn't know: Nancy started her career in comedy. Writing and performing. Of course, Nancy admits that she is lucky she wasn't very good at that or she would not be here today. Key Takeaways: 1. People Are the Most Unpredictable — and That's the Point Nancy's reason for still loving HR after 45 years: no two days are ever the same, because people will always surprise you. That unpredictability isn't a bug in the people function — it's what makes it the most creative, human-centered role in any organization. 2. AI Agents Should Do the Work Humans Shouldn't Have to Do The real promise of AI in HR isn't efficiency for its own sake — it's freeing humans to do what humans are actually best at. Reviewing resumes, scheduling interviews, and answering repetitive benefit questions should be automated. Creativity, judgment, and connection should not. 3. The Referral Agent Changes How Jobs Get Designed Automation Anywhere's referral agent is a glimpse at the future of workforce planning: as a new job description is written, AI maps it to existing tools in the catalog and recommends what else needs to be built. Jobs are no longer just roles — they're a design challenge. 4. The Future of Benefits Is Bespoke, Not Bulk Volume-purchased, one-size-fits-many benefits packages are a legacy model. Millennials and Gen Z expect benefits that match their actual life — their family structure, their life stage, their specific needs. Companies that don't move toward personalization will lose the talent war to those that do. 5. Benefits Are How You Reach Into the Family Nancy's reframe: benefits aren't just a compensation component — they're the one place a company can make an employee's family a partner in retention. When a company helps with a night nurse, fertility support, or postpartum care, the family notices. And families influence career decisions. 6. The Night Nurse Benefit Generated the Most Emotional Response of Nancy's Career Of all the benefits Nancy has implemented across 45 years, a night nurse support service for new parents produced the most extraordinary emotional response she has ever received from employees. It's a reminder that the highest-impact benefits often aren't the most expensive — they're the most human. 7. AI Agents Can Surface Benefits at the Exact Moment They're Needed The awareness and adoption problem in benefits is real: employees don't think about benefits until they need them. AI agents that detect life changes — a new dependent added to insurance, a leave request filed — and proactively surface relevant benefits solve this problem at scale, without requiring HR to monitor or manage it manually. 8. People Share More With Agents Than With HR — and That's a Feature Employees are more willing to disclose sensitive, personal information to an AI agent than to a human HR representative, because there's no fear of judgment or career consequences. That confidentiality drives benefit utilization and gives companies a more accurate picture of what employees actually need. 9. Great Alumni Are Part of the Benefits ROI Nancy's two-vector framework for benefits ROI — retention and human wellness — includes something most people skip: the alumni experience. The goal isn't just to keep employees as long as possible. It's to make them feel so well-cared-for that when they leave, they become ambassadors. That has real, lasting value. CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Introduction: Adam welcomes Nancy Hauge — whose favorite color is puce — and sets up a conversation with one of the most experienced people leaders in the series. 02:00 – Meet Nancy & Automation Anywhere Nancy introduces herself as Chief People Experience Officer and describes Automation Anywhere's AI agent platform — built to help enterprises manage agentic solutions across their entire tech stack. 04:00 – Why 45 Years in HR Never Gets Old Nancy's answer to what keeps her energized after four-plus decades: people are the least predictable thing in the world, which makes HR the most creative function in any business. 06:30 – The Greatest Innovation in HR Tech Nancy's take on the biggest recent leap: AI agents that remove human bias from processes, hand repetitive work back to machines, and free people to do what they're actually best at — creativity and problem solving. 09:00 – The Referral Agent: AI Redesigning Job Descriptions A specific innovation at Automation Anywhere: an AI agent that, as a job description is written, maps it to existing agents in the catalog and recommends new ones to build — fundamentally changing how work gets designed. 12:00 – The Future of Benefits Is Bespoke Nancy's bold prediction: one-size-fits-many benefits are on the way out. The next generation of workers — Millennials and Gen Z — expect à la carte, concierge-level solutions tailored to their life and their family, not volume-purchased packages. 15:00 – Benefits Reach Into the Family A reframe that changes how you think about total rewards: benefits are the one place a company can reach into an employee's family and make them partners in retention. That's a responsibility — and an opportunity. 17:30 – The Night Nurse Benefit The benefit that generated the most emotional response Nancy has ever seen in her career — a post-birth night nurse support service — and why the reaction from employees was extraordinary. 21:00 – AI Agents Driving Benefits Awareness How Automation Anywhere uses AI agents to proactively surface the right benefits at the right moment — detecting life changes like a new baby on insurance and prompting employees with relevant support before they even think to ask. 24:00 – Confidentiality & the Trust Factor Why employees are more likely to share vulnerable, personal information with an AI agent than with HR — no judgment, no performance review implications, no office gossip. And why does that drive benefit utilization? 26:30 – Justifying Benefits ROI on Two Vectors Nancy's framework: retention is one vector, human wellness and happiness is the other. And the goal isn't just keeping people — it's creating great alumni who leave saying the company genuinely cared about them. 29:00 – The 5-Year Century Nancy previews her upcoming book, co-authored with Automation Anywhere's CEO, publishing May 19th via Wiley — about how rapidly everything is changing and how AI agents are going to help humanity tackle its biggest challenges.
Celia Holmes is a gifted Regents first grade teacher and a competitive runner. She sits down with Kirk Avery to talk about the joys of both pursuits.
-Nebraska's AD met with reporters on Friday morning with more discussion on the Big Red Rebuild---which Regents approved with their vote---and discussed more on what the future looks like for NIL and paying athletes-Dannen said the days of NIL like what we saw with 1890 are already a thing of the past and not even allowed anymore---but also said thatNebraska needs to plan for an uncapped world in player compensation and will do what they can in that regard.
