    Harvard sues to block government funding cuts

    April 23, 2025 - By 

    The suit also claims that the funding hold, made in retaliation for Harvard’s letter announcing its refusal to accept these conditions, punishes Harvard for exercising free speech. Separately, the lawsuit focuses on Title VI, part of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits the government from funding organizations that engage in racial discrimination. It’s Harvard’s alleged tolerance for antisemitism that would enable the government to put a hold on these funds. But the suit spells out the requirements for cutting funding—hearings, a 30-day waiting period, notification of Congress—that the law requires before funding can be cut.

    The tech investment gap: bridging the divide for underrepresented entrepreneurs

    April 23, 2025 - By 

    Despite the UK’s position as one of the world’s most dynamic technology hubs, the industry still faces a persistent and well-documented challenge – equitable access to investment. Underrepresented entrepreneurs – particularly women, ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ founders, and individuals from non-traditional backgrounds – remain significantly disadvantaged when it comes to securing the capital needed to start and scale high-growth technology businesses. This disparity is particularly striking in a sector built on innovation and disruption. According to the British Business Bank, in 2023 all-female founding teams received just 2% of UK venture capital (VC) funding, while mixed-gender teams secured only 12%…

    Taxes and fees not included: T-Mobile’s latest price lock is nearly meaningless

    Besides the five-year price guarantee, there’s at least one more notable pricing detail. T-Mobile’s previous plans had “taxes and fees included,” meaning the advertised price was inclusive of taxes and fees. With the new Experience plans, taxes and fees will be in addition to the advertised price. This will make the plans cost more initially than customers might expect, and it gives T-Mobile wiggle room to raise prices during the five years of the price guarantee since it could increase any fees that are tacked onto the new plans.
