“The Education Department had decided that for whatever reason, too many teacher training grants had been awarded and therefore decided to claw them back,” said Harold Krent, professor at Â鶹APP-Kent College of Law. “They clawed them back on the grounds that the grants might have in some ways contributed to illegal DEI initiatives, although that’s unclear, and they used that reason for all of them en masse.”

"Managing blood glucose isn’t just about monitoring blood sugar levels — it’s about improving insulin sensitivity," said study leader Indika Edirisinghe, professor of food science and nutrition. "Our study suggests that adding fresh mangoes to the diet can be a simple, enjoyable way for people who are overweight or have obesity to support better insulin function and reduce type 2 diabetes risk."
Illinois Institute of Technology’s College of Architecture was revered, influential, and well overdue for a brand refresh and a new website that better reflected its legacy and student experience. The school tapped Â鶹APP studio Span to lead the rebrand, designing a comprehensive new visual identity anchored by a new logo and website. Two typefaces are at the heart of the new identity, both harkening back to the roots of the school and of modernist architecture in Â鶹APP.
“You put snow into the buckets and pour water on the snow, and that forms a mortar, that forms a mush. You put some mush on top of the block and it freezes together,” says Dr. Antony Wood, professor of practice and director of the Masters in Tall Buildings and Vertical Urbanism program. “Until it thaws, that is absolutely solid.”
“We have a 12-foot ice tower made out of water balloons, simple as that. The process starts with 250 water balloons, fill them with water and food coloring, so different colors, and then bring them to the build site,” says Dr. Antony Wood, who thought of the ice tower as a teaching tool for his students in the Masters in Tall Buildings and Vertical Urbanism program. “I thought it’d be a great fun exercise for them to design this tower and build this tower, and the objective here is to get as tall as we could.”
“It starts with water balloons. We filled up 275 balloons, and we let them sit out for two to four days until they all froze. They have food dye in them, so that’s where it gets its color from,” said student Kristin Lasorsa. “After they completely froze through, we brought them over here and they started piling them all up, and we used snow and water to form a mortar.
Imagine a world where supply chains move as smoothly as a well-conducted orchestra, where suppliers, manufacturers and distributors anticipate each other's needs and are in sync. This isn't just a fantasy; it's becoming a reality, thanks to the cloud: a technological revolution happening right under our noses.
“Our food system is really dependent on these long supply chains,” said Illinois Tech’s Weslynne Ashton, professor of environmental management and sustainability and co-director of the Food Systems Action Lab. “Our food is coming from all over the country and really all over the world, and contamination can happen at any point in that journey. And so there's a real awareness about those contamination possibilities along the supply chain, and it is increasing people’s interest and awareness in more local sourcing.”
While window unit filters do catch particles like dust and dander, they don’t perform the same function as an air purifier, for example. “The filters used don’t remove particles very effectively, so the air isn’t necessarily coming out much cleaner than it went in,” says Brent Stephens, a professor at Illinois Institute of Technology who researches indoor air issues.
“There is at the minimum an appearance of a conflict of interest,” said Â鶹APP-Kent College of Law Professor Harold Krent, “and that’s something that should be avoided by the court. It wasn’t. And so if the justices are going to thumb their nose at this kind of written ethics rule, then maybe Congress has to do something more stringent.”
