Yet, they received $3.5 billion in tax refunds.
On top of that, in April of last year when the Covid-19 pandemic reached its first peak, the government provided $500 billion in emergency aid to large corporations. The awarded relief did not guarantee job preservation, nor did it place a cap on executive pay.

In the wake of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s murder trial, Americans need to realize that law enforcement officers should no longer be protected by qualified immunity.
The summer of 2020 highlighted systemic racism that leads to police brutality without consequence. It should serve as a wake-up call that we should no longer tolerate the lack of legal repercussions.
Buting, Williams, and Stillings S.C. criminal defense law firm states that the qualified immunity doctrine gives “the police and other government employees [immunity] from civil rights lawsuits if the illegality of their actions was not ‘clearly established’ at the time of the incident.”

Have you ever wondered how much the university’s president gets paid or where your tuition money actually goes?
The DePaulia did, too. Not much information about DePaul and its administration is publicly available, as the private university is exempt from Freedom of Information Act laws by which most public agencies are required to abide.
But because DePaul is a nonprofit organization exempt from paying income taxes it is required to file an annual information return with the Internal Revenue Service called a Form 990 each year. That form, publicly available through the IRS, gives us a tip-of-the-iceberg view of the university’s inner workings. The most recent filing of this form which covers the fiscal year ending in June 2019 was made publicly available in January of this year.

Richard Driehaus, a DePaul alumni whose giving spirit led the university to rename its business school in his honor, died Tuesday at 78, the university confirmed Wednesday.
“Richard was an inspirational member of the DePaul University community who devoted so much of his life’s focus to the university and our students,” DePaul President A. Gabriel Esteban said in a statement. “His was the quintessential DePaul story – a son of the South Side of Chicago who learned the value of work early as a newspaper delivery boy.”
Driehaus was born in Chicago and earned both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business from DePaul in 1965 and 1970, respectively. Upon graduation, he worked in institutional trading at A.G. Becker before founding Driehaus Capital Management LLC in 1982, the Chicago Tribune reported.
