[FOX] While most busy college kids might spend their days in sweats, one student at Howard University was a notable exception: He's accused of stealing $429,000 in financial aid from 2011 to 2017 to buy fancy clothes.
Students of the historically black university in Washington, D.C. are protesting on Friday over the incident, as well as a larger scandal alleging financial mishandlings which came to light just recently, NBC Washington is reporting.
On March 27, an anonymous writer by the name of "Veritas 1867" (in a likely nod to the school’s motto and founding year) posted a bombshell report to Medium claiming that $1 million in financial aid was diverted between 2013 and 2017.
The writer suggested that Howard University President Wayne Fredrick and his administration have been aware of this fraud since May 2017, and points out that at least seven senior-level financial aid officials "have either resigned or been quietly removed" since then.
Two individuals allegedly involved in the scam were identified by name: Brian Johnson, former associate director of financial aid, and law student Tyrone Hankerson Jr., who purportedly received roughly $429,612 in grants and various scholarships through his undergraduate and graduate years at the school.

Seven years in college - was his name John Blutarsky?
[KCNAWATCH.CO] Rodong Sinmun - The U.S. and its vassal forces are spreading false story about "human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... situation" in the DPRK while getting keen on the racket for putting sanctions on it.
Their anti-DPRK "human rights" racket is an intolerable act of hostility tarnishing the prestige of the dignified DPRK and denying its ideology and social system.
It is the DPRK in which the genuine sovereign rights of the popular masses are guaranteed by law under the state protection and which develops by the creative enthusiasm and devoted efforts made by them.
Nowhere can there be found a country which has become a great garden in which respect for the people and loving care for them are becoming a reality.
There can never exist "human rights issue" in the DPRK, socialist system centered on the popular masses.
The "human rights" issue which the U.S. gets vocal while faulting the DPRK is groundless as the U.S. cooked it up by egging despicable human scum on to it.
The U.S. anti-DPRK "human rights" racket is an anachronistic one aimed to justify its hostile policy toward the DPRK and undermine the single-minded unity of the army and people of the DPRK.
The U.S. is finding fault with the "human rights" issue in the DPRK. This is like pointing an accusing finger at others' door through a torn hole on its own door.
The U.S. had better mind its own business before groundlessly taking issue with others.

[DAWN] Two people were incarcerated Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! after an angry mob beat to death a man accused of raping an eight-year-old girl on the rural outskirts of New Delhi, police said on Sunday.
The man identified as Jitendra was set upon by a crowd after being accused of assaulting the girl in Ghaziabad district, just 20 kilometres from India’s capital.
"He was dragged out from his house and beaten to death," said Ghaziabad’s rural police superintendent Arvind Kumar Maurya of 25-year-old Jitendra, who went by one name.
"We have arrested two people over the lynching. One of the two is a family member [of the girl] and the other is a neighbour."
Police were also investigating the alleged sexual assault as part of their inquiries, he added.
Vigilante justice is not uncommon in India, and those accused of rape have been attacked or paraded through the streets naked as punishment.
Cases can take years to drag through India’s courts and aggrieved parties have been known to take matters into their own hands.

(i) This shouldn't be in WoT Politix - not Muslims, regular African-n-n-Americans.

A good rule for writing science fiction and fantasy these days: If it’s not woke, it’s putting people to sleep. The key now is being socially conscious. Most people are regular conscious ‐ reactive to basic stimuli like sight, sound, small rocks being thrown at them ‐ but the more pertinent thing to be is socially conscious ‐ reactive to microaggressions and the racism and bigotry that undercut all human activity. And if you want people to buy your fiction these days, it needs to reflect that social consciousness ‐ as tedious as that all sounds.
I know some are resistant to this idea. You’ve probably heard this quote: "Why do I have to worry about all this political stuff? Can’t I just write fun stories everyone will enjoy?" You know who said that? That’s right: Adolf Hitler.
A lot of people don’t want to confront how closed and exclusive science fiction and fantasy have been throughout history. H.G. Wells spent a whole chapter of The Time Machine making explicit that in the future there would no longer be Irishmen. And when J. R. R. Tolkien ever had a woman do something useful in one of his stories, he always had to follow that with a note that this was a fantasy and would not happen in real life. And were later authors like Isaac Asimov or Arthur C. Clarke any better? I’m honestly asking; their books look very long, and I haven’t read them.
But you need to be better than that if you want to write today. You need to Woke-ify™ your fiction if you want to reach today’s readers. And I’m here to tell you how to do that.

I don't read fiction to be preached at, by anyone. All I want is for the author to tell a good, internally consistent story. If you can't do that, then I'm happy to stop reading and toss the book.
