WHITEWATER
One of Thor Mansonâs advisors from UW-Whitewater asked him to jump on a Zoom call one April night to talk about revising some requirements for the major.
The Geography student, who graduated in December, was happy to help out.
They were sidetracked into a conversation about the political situation in Ethiopia, where Manson said the advisorâs wife is from, when another guest entered the video chat.
It was Chancellor Dwight Watson. But Manson said he âdidnât skip a beat,â until Watson asked him about the Truman Scholarship for those interested in public service.
Manson was âkind of disappointed.â He had applied for that scholarship, but had expected to hear back by April 15, and it was already April 18.
Bloomberg donates $25 million for fellowship at New York University’s Wagner Graduate School of Public Service
Last month, New York University (NYU) announced that Bloomberg Philanthropies had donated $25 million to the university’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. The donation will be used to endow the Georgina and Charlotte Bloomberg Public Service Fellows Program.
Bloomberg Philanthropies is the philanthropic organization of former New York City mayor and multibillionaire founder of Bloomberg News Michael R. Bloomberg.
The announcement takes place under conditions where over 2,000 graduate student workers at the university are preparing to go on strike next week for a living wage, decent health care coverage and adequate childcare benefits. The donation by number 21 on the global list of billionaires is one more exposure of the NYU administration’s fraudulent argument throughout 10 months of negotiations that it has “no money” to improve the living
