Dyson Professor Emilie Zaslow, an expert in American Girl, talks about how the famed doll company is facing a backlash while promoting inclusion in an article published by The MinnPost.

American Girl built itself around themes like history, girlhood, initiative and innocence. The characters’ wholesome image — combined with expensive dolls that are designed and marketed as something to be explicitly cared for — means that the brand is also one that is “appreciated by more conservative families,” said Emilie Zaslow, a professor and chair of communication and media studies at �鶹ֱ�� and the author of “Playing with America’s Doll: A Cultural Analysis of the American Girl Collection.”

�鶹ֱ�� School of Performing Arts Dyson Adjunct Professor Robin Miles, MFA, is featured in The New Yorker discussing the growth of audio books and how this self-described “vocal chameleon” finds her voices.

�鶹ֱ�� is embarking on a transformation of One �鶹ֱ�� Plaza, the central building of its Lower Manhattan campus, to include new academic spaces, a modernized residence hall, and a state-of-the-art performing arts center. The rebuilt theater is slated to serve not only the university’s performing and creative arts programs, but also to act as a central gathering space and cultural venue for the Lower Manhattan community. The modernized One Place Plaza is also being designed to lower carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency.

"It spells doom for the Trump Organization — I really see it as a death knell," Bennett Gershman, a professor at �鶹ֱ��'s law school and a former prosecutor in the New York State Anti-Corruption Office, told CBS MoneyWatch. "It would be implausible for any responsible lending institution, bank, insurance company or institutions that provide financial support for companies to have anything to do with the Trump Organization now."

“The consequences could potentially be devastating for the company,” said Ben Gershman, a former prosecutor in the New York State Anti-Corruption Office and law professor at �鶹ֱ��. “The Trump Organization is now toxic. Nobody wants to touch them.”

The uplisting of northern long-eared bats won’t have an impact on the Costco plans, said Todd Ommen, managing attorney for the �鶹ֱ�� law school environmental litigation clinic. That’s because the case against the store already had been adjudicated.
