What’s got some work to do…

California State University. Yesterday, one report found that the nation’s largest four-year public university system mishandled incidents involving sexual misconduct, harassment, and retaliation. The investigation began last year after a separate report found the then-CSU chancellor ignored claims against senior university officials. Now, the 236-page report says the chancellor’s office had no set guidelines to collect, track, and manage complaints. It also found the system’s 23 campuses reportedly lacked the staffing and resources needed to implement federal and state laws, including Title IX. The report issued several recommendations, including hiring more staff. 

What's going against the grain...

Russia. Today, it attacked a Ukrainian grain port one day after it announced it would no longer allow Ukraine to export its grain by sea. Last year, the UN brokered the Black Sea Grain Initiative so that Ukraine’s ships could safely bypass Russia’s blockade and get grain to the rest of the world. Now, Russia says it’s pulling out of the deal because of Western sanctions. The Kremlin’s move could destabilize global food prices and push 47 million people worldwide into famine or hunger. EU officials are scrambling to find alternative routes by railways through Eastern Europe.

…Oh and speaking of Russia, yesterday, media outlets reported that millions of Pentagon emails have been ending up in inboxes in Mali — Russia's known ally — for the past decade. Turns out, a typo sent emails to the West African country’s “.ml” suffix, not the US military’s “.mil.” So much for autocorrect.

Where the gov is hitting pause…

Iowa. Yesterday, a state judge blocked a six-week abortion ban just three days after it went into effect. The law, signed last week, banned nearly all abortions but made exceptions for rape, incest, if the woman’s life is in danger, or if there are certain fetal abnormalities. The judge's ruling came after reproductive rights advocacy groups sued to block the law. Now, abortion in Iowa is legal for up to around 20 weeks while the court decides the law’s constitutionality. Iowa’s governor said she will appeal the ruling.

Who's apparently feeling the effects of this Venus retrograde...

Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello. Oh, and Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez too.

Who's as good as gold…

The new bachelor.
