Brown University announced Wednesday it has reache Brown University announced Wednesday it has reached an agreement with the Trump administration to unfreeze federal research funding, while committing to major policy changes on admissions, sex definitions, and protections for Jewish students. The deal ends three federal reviews into whether Brown violated anti-discrimination laws. In exchange, the Ivy League school will direct $50 million over 10 years to Rhode Island workforce programs and revise campus policies. As part of the agreement, Brown will remove race as a factor in admissions, eliminate any “unlawful” diversity quotas or targets, and adopt federal definitions of “male” and “female” for NCAA athletics and campus housing. The school also agreed to prohibit gender-transition surgeries and puberty blockers for minors in university-affiliated facilities. The move follows allegations that Brown failed to adequately address harassment of Jewish students. The university pledged new protections, continued funding for Hillel programs, and an independent review of campus climate and social media harassment targeting Jewish students. Education Secretary Linda McMahon called the deal a “step toward restoring merit-based admissions and ensuring all students can learn free from discrimination.” Brown President Christina Paxson emphasized the agreement did not admit fault, saying the university would “continue to foster free inquiry, discovery, and academic freedom.” The resolution will also restore more than $50 million in unpaid federal medical research grants and allow Brown to compete for future funding — marking a major turning point in a high-profile clash over sex, race, and religious protections on campus. #brownuniversity #donaldjtrump #newportbuzz
One person was killed and two others were injured One person was killed and two others were injured after a small plane crashed at Block Island State Airport Wednesday afternoon, officials confirmed. According to the Rhode Island Airport Corporation, a single-engine Piper Cherokee Archer went down around 12:30 p.m. with three people on board. The town of New Shoreham said all passengers were extricated from the wreck and taken to the Block Island Medical Center, but the Block Island Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department later confirmed one person died en route. All three were believed to be from New York state. Their names have not been released. The plane departed from Albany at 10:50 a.m. bound for Block Island. The aircraft ended up flipped upside down in bushes at the end of the runway. More than 20 responders from fire, police, rescue and airport operations rushed to the scene. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. #blockisland #planecrash #newportbuzz
This shocking clip comes from @offshoreharrysportf This shocking clip comes from @offshoreharrysportfishing, who was off Coxes Ledge — more than four miles from the wind turbine pile driving — and could still hear it loud and clear. If the noise carries that far above the water, imagine what it’s doing beneath the surface to whales and other marine life. NOAA has already reported an “unusual mortality event” among whales since offshore wind projects began pounding away off the East Coast. Critics are calling it what it is: ecoterrorism in the name of green energy. Environmental advocates warn the relentless hammering may be disrupting migration routes, feeding patterns, and whale communication — turning the ocean into a war zone of sound. The offshore wind debate has been heating up, and this video is only throwing more fuel on the fire. Or in this case, pile-driving on the pods. #windfarm #newportbuzz #keepitgreen
