@maxwellsu.bsky.socialThe proposal is particularly alarming since the existing survey is already flawed, says Professor Scott Landes. “Studies using the survey’s own data show it misses about half of the disabled adults the federal standard for measuring disability identifies. @sulernercenter.bsky.social
@maxwellsu.bsky.social“I think it’s going to cut both ways. On the one hand, Trump’s negatives in New York are very deep.

@maxwellsu.bsky.socialImmigration has been a demographic lifeline for much of rural America. Rural areas have been losing young adults for years, says Professor Shannon Monnat. “For a lot of small towns, immigrants are the reason the school and hospital stayed open and the county didn’t shrink.” @cprmaxwell.bsky.social
@maxwellsu.bsky.social“Political leaders in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are starting to look more closely at their balance sheets, they are also noticing that many of these splashy investments are not nearly as lucrative as they had thought or as their proponents had promised,” says Professor Natalie Koch.

@maxwellsu.bsky.socialNeighbors aren’t necessarily saying “yes” or “no” to data centers, but they do have opinions about how data centers should be developed and which regulatory controls and safeguards should be in place, says Professor Saba Siddiki and co-author Fengxiu Zhang. @cprmaxwell.bsky.social

@maxwellsu.bsky.socialAs fewer people take tests or seek medical treatment for COVID infections, viral activity in wastewater has become a key way to measure transmission, says David Larsen, professor and chair of public health. “The wastewater becomes really essential,” he says. @cprmaxwell.bsky.social
@maxwellsu.bsky.social“The push for institutionalization is based on the ableist argument that disabled bodies are burdensome to society. When societies accept this argument, those in power can justify segregating disabled people from everyone else,” writes Professor Scott Landes. @sulernercenter.bsky.social
@maxwellsu.bsky.socialA new exhibit at Maxwell celebrates the people behind public service. “The Promise of Public Service,” created by @napawash.bsky.social, “puts faces and names to the people who actually make government function day to day,” says alumnus Wally Bobkiewicz.
@maxwellsu.bsky.social“Every business has their own strategy, and it’s a lot harder to track the effects (of tariffs) into consumer prices,” says Professor Ryan Monarch. “What I think is fair is that it has not sort of been a catastrophe in terms of hyperinflation.”
@maxwellsu.bsky.social“The contest for Senate control is becoming increasingly competitive, largely due to what continues to come out of the White House—evidenced by the president’s extremely low approval ratings,” says Professor Grant Reeher. @supolisci.bsky.social
