It’s been around as a buzzword, yes. But beyond the speed limit reductions very little has actually been done. Pedestrian crossings with daylighting largely haven’t arrived, bike lane installation has totally stalled. Vision Zero is supposed to be a whole holistic program of street design, we’ve done barely any of it.

He didn’t get fired, he was consigned to desk duty. To my mind if the guys wife was involved in a $1.5m fraud it’s reasonable to question whether he had any involvement or just knew about it (that much money coming into the household and you don’t know?) and desk duty while you find out seems reasonable.

Yeah in context it makes sense. If you’ve received no tuition for a semester you shouldn’t be penalized for that. Maybe an average of your previous grades is fairer but that won’t work for everyone. Maybe the university should have thought about this before pushing the staff to strike!

(if you’re against the students getting made up grades I get it but your objection here really has to be too for-profit universities. These people are customers of a high priced product as well as students, there are so many ways it doesn’t make sense)
