3 unions representing about 9,000 Rutgers University faculty and staff to begin historic strike over contract negotiations

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:16:00 GMT

Three unions representing about 9,000 Rutgers University faculty and staff will go on strike Monday morning after nearly a year of gridlocked contract negotiations, marking the first educator strike in the university’s nearly 257-year history, according to the unions.Members of the unions will form picket lines on Rutgers’s three main campuses in New Brunswick, Newark and Camden, New Jersey, to demand salary increases, improved job security for adjunct faculty and guaranteed funding for graduate students, among other requests, union representatives said in a joint release.“Those closest to our learning and to the university’s mission to teaching, research and service deserve more than to merely be surviving and scraping by,” Rutgers masters student Michelle O’Malley said during a virtual town hall Sunday night.The three unions are Rutgers AAUP-AFT, which represents full-time faculty, graduate workers, postdoctoral researchers and counselors; the R...

Div. 3-4 boys lacrosse: Norwell ready to run it back

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:16:00 GMT

A slight chill hung in the air last week as cars whistled along Route 3 nearby. But the Norwell Clippers were finally back at their sanctuary, eager to defend their 2022 Div. 3 boys lacrosse championship after an extended respite.Was there plenty of optimism? Sure, how could there not be? Yet, the Clippers have decided to approach their new campaign with a sense of humility, albeit eager to make history.“Right now, we’re kind of keeping the expectations real,” said Norwell coach Josh Stolp. “We lost a lot of great players. We still have a lot of great players, lot of young guys. So, we’re just trying to make sure that we’re going out there every day, and sort of pushing ourselves to get a little bit better.”Norwell (21-2) lost a few critical players from last season’s roster, but has the return of Syracuse commit John Mullen, along with seniors Austin Shea and Timmy Ward. Ryan Daly should provide some great insurance in net for the Clippers as well.Most are penciling in Medfield (19...

Monaco Court decides in favour of Ashot Yegiazaryan's wife

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:16:00 GMT

Russian oligarchs continue to lose: not only by sanctions but by their former wives. Natalia Tsagolova, the wife of the fugitive Russian oligarch Ashot Yegiazaryan, recently froze half of his assets in a bank in Monaco. The Monaco Court of Appeal's decision to freeze  $94 million in favour of Tsagolova added to the ever-growing legal problems that Yegiazaryan has been facing both in his former homeland and abroad. Currently, he is being sued for more than $300 million by a variety of parties, including his spouse Tsagolova, his former business partner Vitaly Smagin, and others.In the late 1990s - early 2000s, Yegiazaryan built his wealth by investing in various Russian businesses, including real estate, banking and others. However, instead of registering all family assets under his name, Yegiazaryan, who was also a three-time elected member of the State Duma, the lower chamber of the Russian parliament where he represented scandalous Liberal Democrats, made use of his political...
