The Board of Trustees voted Monday night to approve the three new college chiefs for Queens College, Hostos Community College and The CUNY Graduate Center, officials announced.

Many of the city's foster youth were thrust into uncertainty last week when CUNY ordered them out of their dorms due to coronavirus. Unlike their peers, these students have no childhood bedrooms to return to, and often no families who can help them through the shutdown of the economy or the closing of their colleges.

CUNY officials hope the new relief effort — started with two $1 million donations from the Dimon and Petrie Foundations — will eventually grow to $10 million.

Sigrid Nunez, 69, authored the National Book Award-winning novel “The Friend," which depicts a woman’s grief over the death of a close friend as she cares for his dog. She’s among 175 recipients of this year’s grants, which aim to give awardees the financial freedom to pursue their creative work.

The next opportunity to take the test is Aug. 29, and the College Board will offer an additional chance to take the test in September if students are able to return to school.

CUNY students, whose median family income is $40,000 a year, say it’s the worst possible time to face additional expenses.

The lawmakers say the city should turn its attention to pricey contracts, testing payments and administrative costs before axing $181 million from school budgets that cover the salaries of teachers, social workers, and other staff.

You setup your social media accounts, maybe Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, but it’s been a few weeks or even years since you’ve touched the accounts.

You can grow your blog in two ways:

1. Get more traffic.

We propose a novel measure of bond market liquidity that does not depend on transaction data: the strength of the cross-sectional relationship between mutual fund cash holdings and fund flow volatility. Our measure captures how liquid funds perceive their portfolio holdings to be at a given point in time. The perceived liquidity of speculative grade and Rule 144A bonds is significantly lower than investment grade bonds in the cross section and deteriorated significantly following the 2008-9 financial crisis. Our measure can be applied in settings where either transaction data are not available or transactions are rare, including the markets for asset-backed securities, syndicated loans, and municipal bonds.

Supporters for Ahmaud Arbery, the unarmed black jogger who was fatally shot by two white men on a Georgia road in broad daylight, are planning to run 2.23 miles Friday to celebrate what would be his 26th birthday and call for justice in the case. Organizers of the virtual run are asking people to go for a walk, jog or run and post a photo, video or written message on social media with the hashtag #IRunwithAhmaud.

Alleged sex offender violated probation by going to Dunkin Donuts with no pants: cops

Audio recordings of two 911 calls placed moments before Ahmaud Arbery was killed confirm that at least two people were concerned that a black man was running in their Georgia neighborhood.

A day after a father and son were charged in the February killing of unarmed jogger Ahmaud Arbery, a Georgia official promised a thorough probe into the case and said the man who filmed the horrific incident is also under investigation. In a news conference Friday morning, Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Vic Reynolds said “every stone will be turned over" and if the facts lead agents to make another arrest “they will do that.”

The move marks a stunning renunciation of one of the most high-profile convictions secured as part of the federal investigation into President Trump’s ties to Russia.

Elizabeth Warren touted her own “universal workers’ bill of rights" and said of New Yorkers, "I’m glad to see people who are picking up this idea at the state level."

The White House is expected to inform Gov. Cuomo of Trump’s bailout support Friday afternoon.

Gov. Cuomo said he understands the worries of those out of work during the coronavirus pandemic — but the sentiment offered little solace to those who have been watching their bank accounts dwindle for weeks with no relief in sight.
