.@thedailynu reporters broke national stories about the school’s prestigious football team, hazing, sexual assault + racism.
Head coach Pat Fitzgerald was slapped w/ a 2-wk suspension.
But after the students' stories, he’s now out.
THIS is the impact of student journalists.
Northwestern has parted ways with football head coach Pat Fitzgerald.

Reason for the recent social media suspensions: it’s not “wokeness”200,000 unvaccinated Americans needlessly loss their lives since June 1, 2021. They died from vaccine defiance/refusal due to disinformation from far right members of US Congress and media journals.plos.org/plosbiolog…

“Children who do well at spatial tasks such as reading maps and assembling puzzles are more likely to excel in #STEM. We know it’s important, but few people teach it. We're trying to change that.”' --psychologist @daviduttal of @NorthwesternU. spr.ly/6016Juu1I
