Despite her support of the president, Harris has often found herself eclipsed in the larger post-Biden scenario conversations. But Costas Panagopoulos, a political science professor at Northeastern University, believes that’s a mistake.

But ahead of a status conference on July 22, prosecutors will be engaged in a post mortem of the case, said Daniel Medwed, a law professor at Northeastern University, and they will be asking themselves a series of questions.

“We’re seeing schools like Northeastern start to make bigger inroads in the private college world of mergers. It makes sense in a lot of different ways,” says Jeff Denneen, senior partner and global head of the higher ed practice at Bain & Co. “If this were a for-profit industry, this would have happened at a […]

“What a huge victory for Trump in that there’s basically zero chance that he’s going to be tried before the 2024 election,” says Dan Urman, a law professor at Northeastern University in Boston, who adds that he was “slightly surprised” at how “deferential” the majority was toward Mr. Trump’s behavior while in office.
