The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization that hands out the Golden Globes, has hired a diversity consultant and an outside counsel to assist with its “transformational change” following outcry over the lack of Black members in the group.
The group hired Dr. Shaun Harper, a leading expert on racial equity, Provost Professor in the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California, and founder and executive director of the USC Race and Equity Center, as the organization’s Strategic Diversity Advisor for the next five years.

Law school Dean Dayna Bowen Matthew said despite taking over during a pandemic, she has fallen in love with the school.
GW Law Dean Dayna Bowen Matthew periodically runs with her students around the National Mall.
Matthew, who became the dean of the law school in July, said the runs are a way to keep her connections with students strong as the COVID-19 pandemic prevents many in-person interactions. She said she still gets emotional thinking back to her first run with the students, one of her fondest memories so far as dean.
“The conversations we had and continue to have when I run with my students, they are the kind of conversations that are worthy of having in front of the Lincoln Memorial,” she said. “Because students ask questions that matter, even at 7:30 in the morning. They want to do things with their lives that matter.”

WASHINGTON Without efforts to mitigate climate change, summers spanning nearly six months may become the new normal by 2100 in the Northern Hemisphere, according to a new study. The change would likely have far-reaching impacts on agriculture, human health and the environment, according to the study authors.
In the 1950s in the Northern Hemisphere, the four seasons arrived in a predictable and fairly even pattern. But climate change is now driving dramatic and irregular changes to the length and start dates of the seasons, which may become more extreme in the future under a business-as-usual climate scenario.
