TOP STORY
1. Supreme Court Blocks Partial Enforcement of Final Title IX Rule

by Naaz Modan, High Ed Dive

“The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday denied the Biden administration’s request to allow enforcement of uncontested parts of the Title IX final rule in some states where injunctions are in place.

The Supreme Court’s rejection of the emergency request means the entire rule will be on pause in those 10 states with a temporary injunction while lawsuits challenging the regulations work their way through the courts.  

» Reality Check. “The justices, in an unsigned opinion, said the states were “entitled” to a temporary pause of the rule’s provisions, “including the central provision that newly defines sex discrimination to include discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.”

» Of Note. “The amended provisions of the Rule cover a range of matters, most of which do not reference gender identity discrimination and went unmentioned by respondents,” said Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Neil Gorsuch and Ketanji Brown Jackson.”

2. From NCAA Division III to the Big Ten: The Unlikely Rise of UCLA's Luke Schuermann

by Ben Bolch, Los Angeles Times

“Luke Schuermann often gets “the look” whenever he mentions his last football stop. It can be a quizzical expression or a blank stare based on the level of knowledge of the words just spoken.

Johns Hopkins? Wait, give me a second. Oh, you mean the school known for producing renowned journalists, doctors and scientists?

That’s right. That one. Among its most famous alumni are CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, former President Woodrow Wilson and film director Wes Craven.”

» Why It Matters. “Even as a three-time All-American, Schuermann never became a household name outside his own abode. Maybe that’s why UCLA is the transfer edge rusher’s new football home, the next stop on an improbable journey that Schuermann hopes can take him from Division III to the Big Ten to the NFL.”

» Between The Lines. “Those scouts saw an edge rusher who more than looked the part at a stout 6-foot-4 and 255 pounds. He was faster than most of the team’s skill players in conditioning drills and a blur in the backfield, finishing his career as Johns Hopkins’ all-time leaders in tackles for loss (62.5) and sacks (34.5) despite playing only three seasons.”

» What They’re Saying. “Everything that you’ve seen that he’s done in college at the D-III level,” Foster said, “he’s capable of doing here.” - UCLA head coach DeShaun Foster.”

5. Remote Job Fade

“The share of job listings that advertise remote or hybrid work has declined from its 2022 peak — but is still far greater than pre-pandemic levels.

Only 2.6% of job postings offered remote options in 2019. By May 2022, the number rose to more than 10%. And this past July, 7.6% of listings offered remote or hybrid options.

🔭 The big picture: Remote and hybrid work is settling into a new normal — more prevalent than five years ago, but not quite at the levels seen during the Great Resignation.”
