President declares an opioid CRisis

Reporting from the New York Times on this development:

“On Thursday, President Trump directed the government to declare the opioid crisis a public health emergency, saying, ‘We are going to overcome addiction in America.’ The death rate from drug overdoses in the U.S. is now similar to that of the H.I.V. epidemic in the 1980s and ’90s, one health official said.”

CNN adds, “Trump, through the Public Health Services Act, directed his acting secretary of health and human services to declare a nationwide health emergency, a designation that will not automatically be followed by additional federal funding for the crisis, according to a senior White House official.”

LSU FRAT CLOSED FOR BEING ‘UNSAFE’

Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity closed its chapter at LSU after the board of directors determined that it was “unsafe.”

“In 2015, LSU had placed Lambda Chi on probation for hazing through May 2019. Tad Lichtenauer, a spokesman for the fraternity’s national headquarters, said the board’s vote was based on ‘a pattern of history’ that doesn’t reflect the fraternity’s ‘standards,’ according to the Associated Press. 

Another  LSU frat, Phi Delta Theta, was closed earlier this semester following the death of 18-year-old student, Maxwell Gruver.

 


Hed #4 GOES HERE

Former Hollywood high-roller Harvey Weinstein

Arielle Brumfield ponders the questions surrounding the sexual assaults committed by Harvey Weinstein and what has to change for victims to break the silence.

She writes: “The true question is what “normative” behaviors are we perpetuating as a society that make these women and men afraid to speak out when they are being manipulated, taken advantage of and often times forced to compromise their morals?”

Read all her thoughts here.
