[email protected]_84

Maine’s public universities are seeing a spike in students test positive for the coronavirus just days before they’re supposed to return home to finish the semester remotely. As a result, several students — those who have tested positive and their close contacts — will have to quarantine on campus through the Thanksgiving holiday.

The University of Maine System saw two dozen students test positive for COVID-19 over the weekend. As of Monday morning, there are 84 active cases of the virus across the seven public universities, according to the university system’s daily coronavirus updates.

That’s the highest number of active cases the universities have recorded since the start of the fall semester, when the University of Maine System started regularly testing students and employees.

Sixty-six of the cases are at the flagship campus in Orono, where 13 new cases among students were reported on Sunday, according to system spokesperson Dan

BIG RAPIDS, Mich. – A science professor at a Michigan university has been placed on administrative leave and is being investigated after denying the severity of the coronavirus and using racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic slurs on Twitter.

David Eisler, president of Ferris State University, said Monday in a statement that Thomas Brennan was placed on leave Thursday for his “offensive” remarks.

[email protected]_84

A professor at a Michigan university who referred to COVID-19 as a “stunt” to create a “leftist new world order” has been placed on administrative leave, the university announced Monday.

Thomas Brennan, a physical sciences assistant professor at Ferris State University, later doubled down on his COVID-19 comments and tweets, which also included racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic slurs.

“My statements were to the effect that I believe the COVID-19 pandemic is a stunt designed to enslave humanity and strip us of all of our rights and freedoms,” he wrote Monday.

Brennan’s comments were first reported last week by The Torch, Ferris State’s student newspaper. It reported that Brennan said in a Zoom meeting with staff members that he is a COVID-19 denier.

Tweets screenshotted by the school newspaper reveal Brennan referred to the virus as a “hoax,” “fake” and “another Jewish revolution.” He also mentioned various coronavirus conspiracies, which have

Aminu Mohammed Likely to Leave for College in Early January

[email protected]_84

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Five-star guard Aminu Mohammed is expected to start his high school season at Greenwood Laboratory School before departing for college in early January, his guardian told the Springfield News-Leader on Tuesday.

This means Mohammed’s college decision should be coming within the next few weeks.

His guardian, Shawn Harmon, said Mohammed’s commitment will likely be announced through a national media outlet. 

Indiana first offered Mohammed in July 2019, so the Hoosiers have been recruiting him for over a year now. Mohammed attended Indiana’s home game against Maryland this past season, and he has been talking to Archie Miller and his staff over Zoom since quarantine started.

Indiana’s main competition for Mohammed right now is Maryland, Georgetown, Kansas State, Georgia and Oklahoma State.

Mohammed was dominant in his junior season, averaging 34.8 points, 15.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.5 blocks per game as his team went 26-4.

[email protected]_84

Screenshots taken by The Torch show Brennan referring to COVID-19 as a “stunt” to create “a leftist new world order”.

BIG RAPIDS, Mich. — Ferris State professor Thomas Brennan is on administrative leave because of remarks made about COVID-19 on his Twitter account.

“I just have to speak out, to try to speak my conscience,” says Brennan. ‘I can’t be silent and watch this happen.”

Screenshots taken by The Torch show Brennan referring to COVID-19 as a “stunt” to create “a leftist new world order”.

“I did say some hyperbolic things to draw attention to what it is I wanted to say,” explains Brennan.

This includes using the n-word, which Brennan calls “an atomic word”, he used to make people listen.

“I didn’t use it lightly,” says Brennan. “But we’re heading towards such a crescendo of madness where we’re about to all be enslaved because of this COVID crisis.”

Ovi will finish his career in KHL, so where does that leave the Capitals?

[email protected]_84

Although he’s certainly not showing it when it comes to his freakish ability to fill the net with pucks, Alex Ovechkin is beginning to look at the day when he will no longer be a Washington Capital. On the back nine of a career in which he has established himself as arguably the greatest goalscorer of all-time, Ovechkin is intent on finishing his career in the homeland he clearly loves.

In an interview with Russian Television International, Ovechkin made it clear that he wants to finish his career by playing for Moscow Dynamo in the KHL, the team for which he starred before he became an NHLer in 2005-06. Ovechkin also played for Dynamo during the 2012 lockout, scoring 19 goals and 40 points to lead the team in scoring, despite playing only 31 games. (Dynamo, for its part, could use Ovechkin as soon as he’d like to come. The

Why College students Leave College

Most people are accustomed to the Ivy League Colleges and have a pretty good concept that it’s extremely prestigious to attend one of them. Students can get all information relating to college actions and exams proper by means of the software program. Group colleges are native colleges that supply two yr levels, certifications and plenty of classes will transfer later to a four 12 months university. Pomona is one among five colleges of the Claremont College where students experience the perfect of each worlds – the academically difficult atmosphere of a small New England liberal-arts college with 12 months-round California sunshine.

College students benefit vastly from the 4 indoor recreation centres, which together make up 300,000 square ft of swimming pools, operating tracks, weight rooms and classrooms for yoga and kickboxing. This reveals the prospective employer that the coed is serious about his future, and lots of instances a scholar … Read More
