India's May retail inflation eases slightly to 4.75%
REUTERSIndia's retail inflation rate eased slightly in May, partly helped by fall in fuel prices although food prices remained elevated, government data showed on Wednesday. Annual retail inflation in May was 4.75%, down from 4.83% in April and lower than 4.89% forecast by 50 economists polled by Reuters. Moderation in inflation was led by a moderation in core inflation and a decline in fuel inflation," Swati Arora, economist at HDFC Bank said. The inflation rate for cereals was 8.69% year-on-year in May, compared with 8.63% in the previous month. Vegetable prices rose 27.3% in May, against 27.8% in the previous month.

Tracing the Evolution of Diversity at Cornell
From the Department of Education’s investigation into discrimination at Cornell to a former trustee’s rebuke of the University’s “misguided commitment” to diversity, equity and inclusion, diversity at Cornell has been a topic of contention throughout the 2023-2024 academic year. In 1890, George Washington Fields, a former slave, received his degree from the department of law at Cornell, now Cornell Law School, becoming the first African-American law graduate. Shortly after its establishment, the program was renamed the Hispanic American Studies Program to better reflect its mission and vision. In 2017, a Black Cornell student was hospitalized after being attacked and called the N-word by a group of white men in Collegetown. Both Jewish and Muslim Cornell students have expressed fear for their safety on campus since the war began.
