The judges removed had blocked the deportation of two high-profile international students. Selcuk Acar/Anadolu via Getty Images The Trump administration on Friday removed two immigration judges who dismissed deportation cases against two high-profile pro-Palestinian international students, The New York Times reported. The judges, Roopal Patel and Nina Froes, were among six that the Justice Department—which oversees immigration adjudication—dismissed last week, part of the Trump administration’s broader crackdown on immigrants. Patel, an immigration judge in Boston, ruled in January that the government had no grounds to deport Rümeysa Öztürk, an international Ph.D. student from Turkey studying at Tufts University, who was…

Are you feel­ing con­fi­dent about the future? No? We under­stand. Would you like to know what it was like to feel a deep cer­tain­ty that the decades to come were going to be filled with won­der and the fan­tas­tic?

Most Learning and Development (L&D) teams are so focused on adopting AI tools that they have skipped an important step entirely. They have not stopped to ask whether the AI systems driving their training programs are fair, transparent, accountable, and aligned with the…
