WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is appointing a Health and Human Services Department official to lead federal efforts to help the city of Flint, Michigan, deal with its water crisis.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest says he anticipates that President Barack Obama will meet with the city's mayor on Tuesday.
BOSTON – The Berklee College of Music, Boston's musical education powerhouse, will merge with the classically oriented Boston Conservatory to expand academic offerings to students in both schools, the two institutions said Tuesday.
The boards of both unanimously approved the move in votes last month, the schools said in a statement. The combined entity will retain the Berklee name, with the smaller college to be called the Boston Conservatory at Berklee, when the merger becomes effective, expected in June. The agreement to merge will be formally signed Wednesday, culminating discussions that began last year.
