Given Ed Dept asks they are clearly looking for paperwork violations they can hit Brown for, not real safety issues, eg full audit trails of every underage drinking disciplinary case the last five years. The 1990 Clery Act theoretically imposes huge fines for recordkeeping lapses

Trump administration investigates Brown's security after shooting
The Department of Education said its Office of Federal Student Aid would investigate if Brown University violated the Higher Education Act in connection with the deadly shooting on Dec. 13.

For the first time in Romania, a Romani person has been appointed minister
Petre-Florin Manole, a Social Democrat, has become minister of labor as part of the small group of new faces in the Romanian government sworn in on June 23, after six months of political crisis. At 41 years old, he is the first Romani person to hold a ministerial post in a country where the Romani minority still faces discrimination.
