Bert Spector, a business professor at Northeastern University, cited “chaos” in a commentary published this week, stating that the president was never really a CEO before. “That is, he didn’t run a major public corporation with shareholders and a board of directors that could hold him to account,” Spector wrote. “Instead he was the head […]

During a hearing at the Mattapan Library in January, Evans outlined a case for collecting more data on the cameras before they’re fully implemented.

FBI Director James Comey, who did more to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential campaign than anyone other than Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, is back.

Stressed out and suffering from hallucinations, Kusama returned to Japan in 1973 and voluntarily checked herself into a mental institution, where she still resides. After she left, the New York art scene quickly forgot about her, and art historians later followed suit, says Gloria Sutton, an art history professor at Northeastern University. “I think there […]

“The attack on science, particularly climate science, poses an existential threat to human civilization as we know it,” said Daniel Faber, director of the Northeastern Environmental Justice Research Collaborative. “Denying science is a declaration of war on current and future generations and it is unacceptable and we are here to stand up and fight for […]
