WASHINGTON (AP) – Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, a political outsider who signaled the end of his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination Wednesday, formally pulled the plug Friday at a forum in Maryland.
Speaking to the Conservative Political Action Conference, an annual gathering of activists, Carson said the nation needs "trickle-down ethics." He said the ideal presidential candidate is ethical and accomplished, has clear policies and treats others well. He says whoever can check all of those boxes would be a "great leader."
CAMBRIDGE – This week's town hall-style meeting at Harvard University, billed as an event aimed at educating undergraduates on the school's new Title IX sexual-conduct policies, managed to leave some students feeling more confused about the changes, according to a Harvard Crimson report.
The student newspaper reported that Harvard's Title IX officer, Mia Karvonides, led the discussion and focused on the new "unwelcome conduct" standards. The paper said Karvonides informed students that consent under the policy can't be assumed in the absence of the word "no" or based on "clothing, gender, race or sexual orientation."
