THEN consider what happens to a university when essentially all its research faculty— ESPECIALLY the ones who publish most widely, and so are most likely to win grant funding— are cut off from our biggest sources of research support.

Senate committee advances bill to eliminate post‑election mail‑in ballot grace period over voting‑rights objections
After extensive opposition testimony from voting‑rights groups and local election officials, the Senate General Government Committee voted 4–2 to report Senate Bill 293 to Rules and Reference. Opponents said the bill would discard thousands of lawfully mailed ballots that arrived in the four‑day window used in recent elections.
