I’ve seen people hyperventilate upon graduating college at age 22 (“I’m an adult now”) or hitting 25 (“I’m really an adult now”).To me, this is odd. I’ve never felt anxious about a birthday. I credit that to my mom’s “rules of aging,” which have been ingrained in my head ever since I can remember:Your 20s are mostly practice —…

The newly disclosed report makes 43 recommendations, including training updates, stricter adherence to federal security screening standards and the possible introduction of random physical searches.The review “confirms gaps in the security practices of the RCMP that could be closed or at least narrowed,” says a message in the report from the joint chairs of the exercise.“The security posture of the RCMP can…

CNN  —  The conservative Supreme Court will meet Monday to consider whether colleges and universities can continue to take race into consideration as a factor in admissions, a case that could diminish the number of Black and Hispanic students in higher education. Hanging in the balance is the future of admissions plans at hundreds of schools that have relied on court precedent for decades in order to achieve the educational benefits they say flow from student body diversity on campus. Challengers in the case are targeting Harvard and the University of North Carolina arguing that their programs violate equal protection…
