Brietta Clark Appointed As Dean Of Loyola Law School

Brietta Clark has been selected as Dean of Loyola Law School and is the first Black woman to hold the position.

Brietta Clark has been announced as Loyola Marymount University Law School’s newest dean. She is the first Black woman to hold the title in the university’s 103-year history. 

Clark’s historic appointment has been years in the making, having worked as a teacher for over two decades. She also had a brief five-month tenure as interim dean of the school before officially taking office. Now, Clark has been integrated into a network of leading Black women in academia who are heralding a new era for law students.

“I do hope the fact my existence will help show someone, ‘Oh, actually. I can get that far. That looks like me. I can see myself there,” Clark said about the achievement.

Loyola Marymount University Executive Vice President and Provost Thomas Poon, Ph.D., shared his excitement about the decision. “I am thrilled to welcome Brietta Clark as the new Fritz B. Burns Dean of LMU Loyola Law School,” he said. “Her unparalleled expertise, combined with her passion for advancing research and education and her commitment to diversity and inclusion, makes her an exceptional leader to propel our law school into a future of excellence and innovation.”  

Clark continued, saying, “We need to make sure that communities we are serving are reflected. That their views are known and that people understand what kind of problems exist that we need to try to solve.”

CBS News reports that law schools have undergone significant changes to promote diversity initiatives amid controversial legislation and restrictions. Several subjects, including abortion rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and affirmative action, have made headlines these past few years, and Clark’s selection indicates this shift. “This is a place where we interrogate the law,” she said. “Where we’re all about social justice. We think about inequality, right? And yet it has taken a long time for the legal academy to start to have its leadership, and even its professors and faculty and students, really reflect the diversity of America.”

And He’s Outta Here: Trump Dumped From 2024 Election in Colorado

Colorado’s Supreme Court made a historic ruling on Dec. 19 banning former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 primary ballot.

Under the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause, the state’s high court overturned a district court ruling that found Trump guilty of inciting the infamous Jan. 6 Capitol Hill attacks but declared he couldn’t be barred from the ballot as it wasn’t clear if the provision was intended to cover the presidency. Justices made the 4-3 decision – all appointed by Democratic governors – and the first in history where Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was implemented to disqualify a presidential candidate.

The court’s majority said they take these decisions seriously, and while they understand the magnitude of this decision, it’s for the best.

“We do not reach these conclusions lightly. We are mindful of the magnitude and weight of the questions now before us,” the majority wrote. “We are likewise mindful of our solemn duty to apply the law, without fear or favor, and without being swayed by public reaction to the decisions that the law mandates we reach.”

Colorado and Minnesota are just two states that filed lawsuits against Trump to keep him off the ballot under Section 3, designed to keep former Confederates from returning to government after the Civil War. By definition, it bars anyone from office who swore an oath to “support” the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against it. In November, Minnesota’s high court ruled that the GOP can put whoever they want on the primary ballot, dismissing the section 3 narrative.

Notre Dame law professor Derek T. Muller, who has been following the case closely since the suit was filed, said the ruling will significantly damage Trump’s candidacy. “I think it may embolden other state courts or secretaries to act now that the bandage has been ripped off,” Muller said.

“This is a major threat to Trump’s candidacy.”

Trump’s campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, called the court’s decision “completely flawed,” according to The Denver Post. The team plans to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. “Unsurprisingly, the all-Democrat appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump,” Cheung said. He continued in a statement describing the ruling as a “left-wing group’s scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden by removing President Trump’s name from the ballot and eliminating the rights of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate of their choice.”

However, the group that initially filed the suit – Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington – is praising the ruling. “Our Constitution clearly states that those who violate their oath by attacking our democracy are barred from serving in government,” President Noah Bookbinder said.

Degree requirements

Relaxed Degree Requirements Bring Hope For Diversity In The Workforce

Companies are starting to demystify the bachelor's degree.

A November 2023 survey of 800 leading U.S. employers revealed that nearly half of American companies are planning to do away with bachelor’s degree prerequisites for certain roles in 2024.

The survey, administered by Intelligent, further indicates that companies, which already took steps to remove bachelor’s degree requirements in 2023, are also more inclined to extend this change to a wider range of positions compared to companies that did not make such adjustments.

In a June article, Freeopp.org’s research fellow Preston Cooper explained that jobs which in the past had been open to high school graduates now require a bachelor’s degree.

Cooper said this development is “degree inflation.”

“Degree inflation harms Americans, especially those below the median income and those without four-year degrees,” he wrote. “There are three main channels through which the phenomenon hurts the working class and reduces economic efficiency: it closes job opportunities for workers without degrees, exacerbates labor shortages, and reduces the financial return of a college education.”

Cooper added the government should get involved. According to Vox, some governors already have.

A mix of Republican and Democratic governors eliminated the requirement for a four-year degree in state government jobs. Research indicates that nearly two-thirds of the American workforce has been locked out of upward mobility due to artificial bachelor’s degree requirements. In 2017, a Harvard Business School study discovered that among other things, degree inflation was particularly harmful for Black and Latinx applicants because they are less likely to have college diplomas. 

Another Harvard study, “Reach for the STARs,” found that workers in low-wage jobs usually have skills that are in high demand from higher wage employers. The study noted that five million workers without college degrees were already employed in jobs that paid at least $77,000, which the study said proved “that a bachelor’s degree is not the only route to gain skills for higher wages.”

In 2020, Shad Ahmed and Peter Blair, two employment researchers, noted in a piece for The Wall Street Journal that degree requirements for jobs that don’t truly require them are actively harmful for Black job seekers, writing, “Nonessential degree requirements aren’t race-neutral.”

Ahmed and Blair wrote, “They embed into the labor market the legacy of Black exclusion from the U.S. education system—namely, the antiliteracy laws that made it illegal for Blacks to learn to read, the separate and unequal schools that kept them from catching up, and the limited progress since then on policies designed to remedy racial discrimination.”

Elyse Rosenblum, founder of Grads of Life, a nonprofit organization pushing to reform employment practices, told Vox that even though employers are slowing down their hiring, Rosenblum hopes they don’t return to their previous mistakes.

“I do have frankly a lot of concern,” Rosenblum said. “We’re having a lot of change in our labor market, things are weakening, and we’re seeing companies doing hiring freezes and layoffs. We’re spending a lot of time talking with business leaders about the need to make sure we don’t go back to what happened in the 2008 recession.”

While Rosenblum’s concern is warranted, the Intelligent survey elicits some hope that as degree requirements are relaxed, work forces could become more diverse, as Diane Gayeski, a professor and higher education advisor, said, “Due to the expense of attending college, earning a bachelor’s degree is generally more difficult for people from traditionally marginalized groups and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

“If a student’s parents didn’t attend college or if they are from outside the U.S., it can be much more difficult to know how to navigate applying to colleges and finding scholarships and other resources,” she added. “Eliminating a bachelor’s degree can open jobs up to individuals who weren’t able to attend college.”

Chicago Man Who Was In Prison For 12 Years Now Free After Discovering Testimony Was Given By Legally Blind Man

Darien Harris was sentenced to 76 years in prison for a murder he did not commit.

A Chicago man who has been in prison for 12 years is finally free after it was discovered that the testimony that put him away was from someone who was legally blind.

According to CBS News Chicago, Darien Harris’ murder conviction has been vacated, after he was convicted of killing a man at a Woodlawn gas station in 2011.

He was sentenced to 76 years in prison in 2014. The 30-year-old, who was 18 when sentenced, spent 12 years in prison after he was found guilty in the fatal shooting of 23-year-old Rondell Moore. After being arrested, Harris was charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and aggravated battery with a firearm.

Prosecutors charged the then-high school senior in an ambush-style shooting that left Moore dead and another person seriously injured. Harris has always maintained his innocence, stating that he was watching the NBA finals between the Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks. He was found guilty in 2014 and was given a prison sentence of 76 years.

Harris’s conviction was overturned on Dec. 5 by a Cook County judge, but prosecutors stated they were going to retry him on the charge. The judge vacated the conviction when it was discovered by the defense team that the main witness to the murder was legally blind.

On Tuesday morning, prosecutors agreed, after reviewing the case, to drop all charges. He was officially released on Dec. 19.

“These 12 1/2 years of being gone, it wasn’t easy at all,” Harris said after being freed. “But I fought, and now I’m here.”

“I fought. Keep on fighting, everybody. Just keep on fighting – never give up.”

Harris’s attorney, Lauren Myerscough-Mueller, remarked that they were all “thrilled” that the charges were dropped by prosecutors. He went home with his wife and mother, Nakesha Harris.

“This is the best Christmas gift ever,” said Nakesha. “I feel like I’m dreaming. It doesn’t feel real. I guess once I hold him in my arms, it’ll be real.”

Band Of The Year Crowns National Champions, Looks Ahead To The Future

Grant emphasized that this is just the beginning for the Band of the Year competition.

In July, ESPN Events unveiled the Band of the Year National Championship through a press release, introducing it alongside the HBCU National Championship, known as the Celebration Bowl.

John Grant, who serves as executive director of the Band of the Year, Cricket Celebration Bowl, and the Cricket MEAC/SWAC Challenge, expressed his vision for the event in the press release.

He said, “ESPN Events is committed to innovating and introducing exciting new events. We are delighted to host the inaugural Band of the Year National Championship as part of our Cricket Celebration Bowl weekend in Atlanta. This event is our tribute to the rich culture of marching bands and the exceptional talent and dedication of marching band students. It offers a platform for these remarkable performers to display their skills and vie for the prestigious title of Band of the Year.”

According to Band of the Year’s official website, the event was created by ESPN Events to provide HBCU bands with the same platform that the Celebration Bowl affords its football programs. “The purpose is to establish a competitive platform for HBCU marching bands and crown a season-long national champion of Division I and Division II bands.” Similar to how the rankings of the associated football programs change based on performance week to week, the same would apply to the HBCU bands. 

The event was simulcast on ESPN 3 and ESPN+ on Dec. 15, the day after the airing of the Celebration Bowl, which marks the first time that a bowl game has highlighted football programs and band programs in the same weekend. It was at the same location as the Celebration Bowl, the home of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Over several months, the field narrowed from 15 to 10 to a top 5 before ultimately culminating in a matchup between the top two teams in each division.

The event was co-sponsored by ESPN Events, the Cricket Celebration Bowl, the MEAC/SWAC Challenge, Andscape, and HBCU GameDay. The final bands were North Carolina A&T State University, Jackson State University in Division I, Florida Memorial University, and Virginia State University in Division II. Julian White, director of bands emeritus at Florida A&M University and the co-chair of the selection committee, praised the bands ahead of the competition, telling Andscape, “They have presented halftime shows that were truly outstanding in terms of marching ability, musical ability, show desirability [and] marching style,” White said. “They have really worked to perfect those as much as they possibly can, and that is what you’re going to see on Friday.”

The two winners, North Carolina A&T in Division I and Florida Memorial in Division II, took home the national titles. After the festivities, Grant talked to HBCU Gameday about how important it was to him to ensure that the bands were properly compensated for their time, saying, “At the end of the day, it’s going to come down to — you don’t pay a bill, signed with exposure. And if you can get both and we can help facilitate both, then we’re getting the best of both worlds. And that’s what this event was about.”

Grant emphasized that this is just the beginning for the Band of the Year competition, saying that his vision for the program was a Tournament of the Roses-style event that leads into the competition, “I believe it is something we can implement, and that is having a parade with the competing bands in a parade prior to the competition that night,” Grant said. “They’ll be in a parade down Main Street here in Atlanta. And then that night they’ll be cued up to be in actual championship mode. So we do see that being a part of it. Creating our own Tournament of Roses parade, so to speak.”

Grant envisions the Band of the Year eventually becoming just as big as its sister event, the Celebration Bowl, telling HBCU Gameday, “This event is going to be as big as the Celebration Bowl – if not bigger. And you’re hearing it here first,” Grant explained. “This was just Year One. It was Year One for everyone — including us. This has never been done before.”

Keefe D Wants To Be Free After Allegedly Implicating Himself In Tupac’s Murder

Keefe D is asking to be released from jail while he awaits trial in connection with the murder of Tupac Shakur.

Keefe D is asking to be released from jail while he awaits trial as the only person ever charged in connection with the murder of Tupac Shakur.

Lawyers for Duane “Keefe D” Davis filed a 33-page motion last week claiming the evidence used to implicate the former gang member is based on an “astounding amount of hearsay and speculative testimony” the grand jury was presented with in September, ABC News reported. The filing argues that prosecutors “did not introduce any independent evidence” connecting Davis to the crime, but instead relied on testimony from witnesses who had “questionable credibility” and “excerpts” from Davis’ memoir, which they claim could’ve been penned by his co-author.

Davis was arrested on Sept. 29 and has been held without bail in the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas. His own words were used in the case against him in connection with the Sept. 7, 1996 drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur.

In Davis’ memoir and interviews over the years, he openly admitted to playing a key part in Tupac’s murder. Authorities described Davis as taking on a “shot caller” role in orchestrating Tupac’s death.

However, Davis’ lawyers now claim the interviews Keefe D gave detailing his role in the shooting were “never verified” for their “truthfulness,” and were only “done for entertainment purposes” and financial gain.

“It cannot be said that the proof is evident and the presumption great that Duane is guilty of first-degree murder for the death of Shakur,” Davis’ lawyers wrote.

While Shakur’s death in September 1996 is an “uncontested” fact, Davis’ “involvement in the shooting and the motivation for the shooting is less clear,” the filing states.

As for Davis’ book, his lawyers claim the details in the memoir “are fiction and dramatized to make the book more marketable,” and that even if the allegations are “assumed to be true,” there is “no evidence that [Davis] directed the shooting” and “no evidence or allegations that [he] was the shooter.”

Davis’ lawyers are requesting that he be allowed to await trial while on house arrest or be granted a “reasonable bail” of no more than $100,000. He is “not a threat to the community” nor a flight risk, his lawyers say, and suggested electronic monitoring, in the event the judge is concerned about Davis showing back up for his hearings. David has pleaded not guilty and his trial date is set for June 3, 2024.

Jeannie Mai Denies Preventing Jeezy Visitation, Concerned About His Firearms

Jeannie Mai is denying Jeezy's claims of keeping their daughter away from him by expressing her concerns over his firearms.

Jeannie Mai is clapping back at Jeezy’s claims of keeping their daughter away from him by calling out his “unsecured” firearms.

The former The Real host filed legal docs on Tuesday, Dec. 19, denying Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins’ previous legal claims of her not allowing the rapper quality time with their 23-month-old daughter Monaco Jenkins, People reports.

Mai, though, has her own concerns about Jeezy.

“It is essential to clarify that Ms. Jenkins’ insistence on reasonable safety measures being put in place, such as safely securing and locking away all firearms that have been unsecured in the past, as well as having familiarity and properly trained caregivers is absolutely not gatekeeping, but rather a responsible effort to prioritize their daughter’s well-being,” Mai’s filing stated.

“These requests are grounded in Ms. Jenkins’ genuine concern for the parties’ daughter’s safety and security, especially when under the care of others and traveling across the country, and are reasonable protective measures, not an attempt to restrict Mr. Jenkins’ access to their daughter,” the filing continues.

Her filing comes one month after Jeezy made a filing in Fulton County claiming he and the television personality “agreed upon a visitation schedule through the end of 2023,” but their agreement was “becoming increasingly less feasible.”

“The lack of consistency, continuity and stability inherently associated with such a haphazard and fluid parenting time schedule is stressful to the Child (Monaco), and it has, as is unfortunately inevitable with all families in transition, created unnecessary tension and confusion regarding not only parenting time but also in regard to each parent’s role and rights when the Child is in their respective custody,” the document stated.

However, according to Mai’s recent filing, she has agreed to allow Jeezy time with Monaco on every date he requested and even granted additional time for Christmas. The co-parenting agreement is heating up in the wake of Jeezy filing for divorce from Mai in September after two years of marriage.

In his filing he claimed the marriage was “irretrievably broken” and there is “no hope for reconciliation.” Earlier this month, Mai responded to Jeezy’s “gatekeeping” by seemingly accusing him of cheating during their marriage.

She cited a clause in their prenuptial agreement that said “the Court should enforce Paragraph 8 of the Prenuptial Agreement regarding infidelity which provides, in pertinent part, that in the event that either party engages in sexual relations, an emotional relationship, or is emotionally or sexually suggestive in communication with a third party via all forms of electronic communication, including but not limited to, texting, sexting, Facetiming, social media and/or Direct Messages, shall result in a significant financial penalty upon the adulterous party as specified in said Prenuptial Agreement.”

Why More Older Adults Are Working and Liking It

Why More Older Adults Are Working and Liking It

The workforce is witnessing double the number of employed Americans age 65 and older compared to three decades ago, the Pew Research Center revealed.

Older adults are remaining in the workforce well into the supposed retirement age, new data has revealed.

After more than three decades, the workforce has witnessed double the number of employed Americans age 65 and older, the Pew Research Center revealed. In 2023, 19% of older Americans represented the workforce, earning $22 per hour (in 2022).

A little over 18 percent of African Americans age 65 and older wereworking or actively seeking work in the labor force in 2020 compared to 20.7% of men and 16.4% of women. Between 2019 and 2040, the African American population aged 65 and older is projected to increase by 80%. 

The Pew Research report highlighted key factors that have motivated the increasing rate of the older population in the workforce. Among them:

  • Today’s older Americans tend to have higher education levels than older workers did in the past. Roughly 44% of older workers today have a bachelor’s degree or more education, compared with 18% in 1987. This narrows the pay gap between workers ages 25 to 64. According to census data, from 2011 to 2021, the percentage of adults age 25 and older with a bachelor’s degree or higher increased from 19.9% to 28.1% for the Black population.
  • Policy changes have discouraged early retirement. Older people are working longer in part due to new changes to the Social Security system concerning retirement age. The policy now requires workers to receive their full retirement benefits at 67, raising the age two years. Experts suggest that the policy has likely forced older adults to continue working. For older Black adults, many of them have lower levels of education, income, and wealth than whites. 
  • Retirement plans have evolved. High inflation is continuing to burden household budgets, with increasing numbers of households shifting their retirement plans to make ends meet. The research found that among workers ages 65 and older, 36% now have the option to participate in an employer- or union-sponsored retirement plan—up from 33% in 1987. However, employers have pivoted away from traditional pension plans and toward defined contribution plans such as 401(k)s, which do not encourage early retirement. The old-style benefit plans incentivized workers to retire at a specific age.
  • The nature of jobs has changed. Typically, older working adults are in different careers than they were when they were younger, especially if it is less strenuous on the physical body. They prefer work schedule flexibility and independence. Since 1990, research found that occupations have adapted to more age-friendly accommodations for employees. These include insurance salespeople, tour guides, proofreaders, and financial managers.

Despite staying longer in the workforce, workers ages 65 and older are more satisfied with their jobs overall than younger workers, a recent Pew Research Center survey reported.

Charles Donohoe Of The Proud Boys Sentenced To Three Years For Role In Capitol Riots

Charles Donohoe cooperated with federal prosecutors and pleaded guilty in 2020 to felony charges of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and assaulting, resisting, or impeding police.

A former president of the North Carolina chapter of the white supremacist Proud Boys group was sentenced on Dec. 19 to just over three years in federal prison for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection. According to PBS Newshour, Charles Donohoe cooperated with federal prosecutors and pleaded guilty in 2020 to felony charges of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and assaulting, resisting, or impeding police.

Because Donohoe has been incarcerated for nearly three years, with credit for time already served, he could be released as soon as February 2024. According to U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, Donohoe seems to be legitimately remorseful, as he told him at one point during the sentencing hearing, “I think you’ve got all the ingredients here to put this behind you.”

Donohoe apologized to his family, law enforcement officers who were guarding the Capitol building on Jan. 6, and the United States of America at the hearing, before saying “I knew what I was doing was illegal from the very moment those barricades got knocked down.”

The prosecutors only recommended a sentence ranging from 35 to 43 months, but sentencing guidelines for his crimes indicated that Donahoe’s sentence normally carries a 70- to 87-month range. This appears to be a sign that federal prosecutors believe that Donohoe’s attempts to distance himself from the Proud Boys are not a cynical attempt to avoid a lengthy prison sentence. 

According to court documents obtained by PBS Newshour, prosecutors argued in a filing that “Donohoe and his co-conspirators organized and led a small army as they launched an attack on the heart of our democracy. They took these actions because they did not like the outcome of the election.” However, they also asserted that he deserved credit for both early acceptance of his responsibility in the insurrection and cooperation with the prosecution. 

As reported by The Associated Press, over 1,200 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the Capitol insurrection. Around 900 of those individuals have either pled guilty or been sentenced by a judge or a jury after trials. 700 people have already been sentenced. 

According to Donahoe’s defense attorney, Ira Knight, the second Iraq war era Marine Corps veteran is attempting to put his Proud Boys affiliation behind him, saying Donohoe “eagerly divorced himself” from the White supremacist organization. Knight also said that it took his client time to come to grips with his role in the insurrection, telling The AP, “It took Charlie time to understand the nature of his wrong.”
