Enrollment at the five University of Massachusetts campuses shot up 27 percent over the past decade and surpassed the 74,000 mark for the first time this year, university officials reported on Wednesday.
Over the past decade, student enrollment at UMass has risen almost 27 percent – from 58,939 in the fall of 2006 to the current 74,678 – making the system "one of the fastest-growing universities, public or private, in the nation," according to UMass.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are decrying police-involved shootings in Oklahoma and North Carolina, with the Democrat calling them "unbearable" and the Republican saying he was "very troubled."
Trump's effort to court black voters Wednesday in Cleveland took a bizarre turn when he was introduced by boxing promoter Don King, who used a racial slur as he made the case for black voters to support Trump. In an interview later, Trump called for a national expansion of "stop-and-frisk," the police tactic that a federal judge ruled can be discriminatory against minorities.
