university by enrollment came to a head at its Board of Visitors meeting on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>But in a twist, the Fairfax university\u2019s embattled president emerged with a raise \u2014 not a termination letter.<\/p>\n<p>Pressure on President Gregory Washington to resign had built to a fever pitch in recent weeks. The school is now subject to multiple federal investigations and inquiries into its handling of diversity in hiring decisions and antisemitism on campus.<\/p>\n<p>Republican President Donald Trump\u2019s administration believes that \u201crace and sex are motivating factors in faculty hiring and other employment decisions to achieve \u2018diversity\u2019 goals\u201d at the university, in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to a July 17\u00a0<a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/justice-department-launches-investigation-employment-practices-george-mason-university\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">announcement<\/a>\u00a0from the US Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>GMU\u2019s board, now composed entirely of Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin\u2019s appointees, was already scheduled to meet and discuss Washington\u2019s performance and goals for the coming academic year. The board sat Friday without\u00a0<a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/07\/29\/youngkin-appointees-virginia-senate-lawsuit-injunction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">the four seats in active litigation<\/a>, as WAMU previously reported.<\/p>\n<p>In a\u00a0<a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vpm.org\/news\/2025-07-31\/george-mason-university-board-washington-dei-trump-gibson-letiecq-manski\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">recent VPM News report<\/a>, George Mason faculty and advocates who have followed similar situations that ended in other university presidents losing or exiting their jobs, feared Washington would be ousted. Many rallied to support him by packing the board room past capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The nearly 5-hour-long meeting concluded with the board voting to give Washington a 1.5% raise; his contract remains in effect until June 30, 2027.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a fiduciary duty to the commonwealth and to George Mason University. We\u2019re going to fulfill our fiduciary duty, and George Mason University means everybody at the university,\u201d Rector Charles Stimson told press after the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Stimson did not respond to questions about Washington\u2019s future in the role, or whether school officials had spoken with Youngkin about the decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s display of unity by the Mason community is inspiring,\u201d Washington said in a statement. \u201cFor now, the community can refocus on what really matters most: in just three weeks, we will welcome the incoming class of 2025, which is once again the largest, most diverse and one of the most qualified freshman classes in the history of George Mason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the federal probes into the school are ongoing \u2014 and GMU\u2019s board also signaled some agreement with the federal government\u2019s critiques: On a unanimous vote, they approved a resolution pledging to \u201ccooperate fully\u201d with the federal investigations and mandating two university administration offices to end programs and trainings related to diversity and broad access to research.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution also directs the Office of Access, Compliance and Community \u2014 which formerly housed the university\u2019s DEI programs \u2014 to \u201celiminate all programs, trainings, processes not specifically required for federal or state law or University Policy compliance, and if necessary, eliminate staff positions\u201d within 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>Stimson said the board spent nearly two years discussing the issue before Friday\u2019s vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a variety of viewpoints, I get it.

Residents can share details on where and when they’ve been bitten alongside details about the tick, in an effort to track their movement along the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n<p><em>Our full interview with Dr. Eleanor Labgold is below. The conversation has been edited lightly for length and clarity.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Are people in Virginia seeing more ticks than in recent years, or have there more cases of people being infected with tick-borne illnesses?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What I can say is this year we’re seeing over 9100 visits to emergency departments or urgent cares in the Commonwealth that are related to tick bites or tick bite injury. Looking at the rate of this year versus prior years, the rate is definitely higher: We’re seeing about 27 visits per 10,000 visits that are tick bite related. In 2024, last year, this number was closer to 16, so it is a stark increase of people seeking care for tick bites or tick bite diseases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What could be driving the heightened level of contact between people and ticks?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It could just be a bad year for ticks. It’s not uncommon for us to see years where we have very high levels of ticks and then followed by a year or two of low levels of ticks. So, these populations can really change across the years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All right, so we talked about Lyme disease. What other illnesses are people at risk of catching?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Like you mentioned, Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne illness that we see reported in Virginia. At the first week of July, we had about 297 tick-borne illnesses reported, of which almost 250 were Lyme disease. The thing that I want to highlight the most is a disease called babesiosis. It’s got kind of a strange name, but it is a tick-borne illness that we’re seeing more of in Virginia every year. So this is a parasitic illness that’s somewhat similar to malaria. It will affect your red blood cells – so attack and reproduce in your red blood cells – and it’s something that we’re concerned and we’re keeping an eye on at the health department.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it possible for people to catch more than one disease from a tick?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes. We’re seeing co-infections as well. You can have ticks out there that have multiple pathogens inside them at once, and then when they bite a person, they can acquire these diseases at the same time. You can also have multiple tick bites that are giving multiple pathogens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What can people do to prevent contracting a tick-borne illness?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Make it a part of your routine health and safety when you’re outside to just consider bringing some tick repellent. You can use permethrin as well to treat your clothes, treat your shoes. You can wear light colored clothing: you can spot a tick more quickly and get it off your body. And I think the best prevention method too is just be alert, be aware, check your body frequently for ticks when you’re outside. If you’re in tall grass, vegetation, leaf litter, at the edge of a forest, be extra aware of ticks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you say the same goes for pets – if you take your dog out hiking with you, for example?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, absolutely, thank you for mentioning that. We are also starting tick surveillance in companion animals. We’re partnering with some veterinary clinics around the Commonwealth to send us some ticks that they find on their pets. We’re hoping to understand kind of companion animal encounters a little bit better as well, but check your pet because sometimes they can bring in ticks and then you can end up with a tick on you that way. So, do a thorough tick check on any pets that have been outdoors that are now coming indoors.<\/p>\n","paginatedContent":[],"excerpt":"<p>Tick activity this year has lead to a surge in emergency room and urgent care visits.

Voters are casting ballots to choose a successor to the late Rep. Gerry Connolly, a Democrat, who died of cancer in May.<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic and Republican candidates in the race faced off Monday night in a candidate forum hosted by the Reston Citizens\u2019 Association.<\/p>\n<p>Connolly\u2019s longtime chief of staff, James Walkinshaw, who currently represents the Braddock District on the Fairfax Board of Supervisors, is the Democrat in the race. He\u2019s facing Republican Stewart Whitson, a lawyer and conservative policy advocate who is mounting his first campaign for elected office.<\/p>\n<p>Walkinshaw is heavily favored by political analysts because of the district\u2019s blue tilt; Connolly won his last two elections with more than 65% of the vote. But the race offers one window into Virginia Democrats\u2019 attempts to drum up enthusiasm with their core base in Northern Virginia ahead of statewide elections for governor in November \u2014 and Republican efforts to counter it.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"story-aside\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Key dates to remember<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Friday, August 29: deadline to request a mail-ballot<\/li>\n<li>Tuesday, Sept. 2: deadline to register to vote or update an existing registration<\/li>\n<li>Saturday, Sept. 6: early voting ends<\/li>\n<li>Tuesday, Sept. 9: Election Day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/aside>\n<p>Both candidates have promoted themselves as savvy operators on Capitol Hill, but <a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/06\/30\/va-11-special-election-nominees-walkinshaw-whitson\/\">that\u2019s where the similarities end<\/a>. Walkinshaw says his decade working for Connolly \u2014 a longtime advocate for federal workers \u2014 best positions him to defend the interests of the district from the \u201creckless and indiscriminate\u201d cuts to the federal workforce coming from the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>The federal workers he\u2019s met on the campaign trail have \u201clost their jobs, they’ve lost their health care, and they can’t get their unemployment benefits,\u201d Walkinshaw told WAMU.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of a high-stakes governor\u2019s race in November, Walkinshaw said the 11th District contest \u201cwill be a test case for how outraged Virginians are about the Trump administration and our governor who, like Stewart Whitson, is a Trump ally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitson, a U.S. Army veteran and former FBI officer, argued his opponent is too focused on official Washington, and not focused enough on bringing down crime, addressing illegal immigration, and lowering taxes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore and more of our money is being stolen by a never-ending wave of taxes pushed forward by politicians like my opponent,\u201d Whitson said in his opening statement. \u201cAnd people don’t feel safe in their own community. That is unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitson accused Walkinshaw of voting to award himself <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairfaxcounty.gov\/news\/board-compensation-increase-take-effect-january-2024\">a pay raise on the Board of Supervisors<\/a>, the action of a \u201ccareer politician,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He told WAMU his campaign was focused on bringing that message to people who do not always hear from conservative candidates, including the district\u2019s many immigrant communities. That echoes a playbook pioneered by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin in 2021 and designed to narrow Republicans\u2019 losses in the vote-rich D.C. suburbs.<\/p>\n<p>The two outlined competing visions for the federal workforce and the federal government at the forum at the Reston Community Center. Audience members were invited to submit questions, and Reston Civic Association President Lynne Mulston served as moderator.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration\u2019s cuts to the federal workforce are particularly salient in the race in the Fairfax district, which is home to more than 51,000 civilian federal workers, or 16% of the district\u2019s total workforce, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mwcog.org\/community\/data-and-tools\/federal-workforce-resources-and-data\/\">according to data<\/a> from the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. Several federal workers gathered outside the forum with signs \u2014 and inside, Walkinshaw and Whitson traded barbs on the cuts.<\/p>\n<p>Walkinshaw repeatedly attempted to tie his opponent\u2019s policies to those of President Trump, arguing sweeping federal changes were upending families\u2019 lives and Fairfax\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are indiscriminately firing the very people you say you have sympathy for,\u201d he said to Whitson during one exchange. \u201cAnd you could do something. You could start to denounce it. But you won’t do that. Because first and foremost, you are Donald Trump’s ally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walkinshaw said he worried about the downstream effects of federal cuts on local businesses, and several times pointed to federal investments in local priorities, including transportation projects and low-income schools.<\/p>\n<p>Whitson walked a finer line, emphasizing his good experiences with his federal colleagues during his time in the FBI and calling federal workers \u201chardworking,\u201d but not directly condemning federal cuts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy message to [federal workers] is this, \u2018Look, I’m one of you, I want to help you. If you’re someone that was in the government and you felt like you were pushed out and you’re a good employee and you want to come back in, I want to do everything in my power to help find you a home back in the federal government,\u2019\u201d Whitson said. \u201c\u2018But you know what else I want to do that’s even more important? I want to find you other economic opportunities.’\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitson argued those new opportunities would come from deregulation and lower taxes, which he said would boost economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>One of the clearest contrasts between the two men came in response to a question about the first piece of legislation they\u2019d introduce if elected. Whitson said he\u2019d put forward the Regulations from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, which would prevent federal agencies from developing rules that come with a price tag of $100 million or more without the approval of Congress. He also said he\u2019d support rewarding federal agencies that do not spend all of their congressionally-appropriated budgets by the end of the fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p>Walkinshaw, meanwhile, said he\u2019d support legislation to abolish the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.<\/p>\n<p>In response to a question about keeping the Social Security system solvent, Whitson attacked Walkinshaw and Democrats for \u201cpushing welfare onto healthy adults and creating dependency,\u201d resulting in fewer employed people paying into the Social Security program and more \u201cable-bodied adults that are sitting on the couch playing video games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, I recommend you talk to some of the thousands of federal employees who are out of work and ask them if they’re sitting on the sidelines or playing video games,\u201d Walkinshaw retorted. \u201cThat is an outrageous thing to say in a community that is suffering from job loss right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walkinshaw \u2014 to boos from some in the audience \u2014 offered two proposals for keeping Social Security afloat: requiring the wealthiest Americans to pay more to fund the program, and welcoming immigrants to work in the U.S. and pay into the program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRounding them up, scaring them, convincing them to self-deport is self-defeating when it comes to the solvency of Social Security,\u201d he said. He said recent escalations in immigration enforcement in Northern Virginia had not been focused on people with criminal records.<\/p>\n<p>Whitson focused his comments about immigration on border security, citing his time with an FBI SWAT team in southern Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have seen firsthand the violence these guys have,\u201d he said. \u201cThe MS-13 are not guys armed with handguns. They have AK-47s, they are violent, they are almost no different than ISIS and how violent they can be to their enemies.\u201d He said Fairfax County\u2019s policy of not directly communicating with federal immigration enforcement \u201cbrought that crime to our neighborhoods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The forum wasn\u2019t without a brief moment or two of agreement. Both candidates saw opportunities for the 11th District and the country more generally in artificial intelligence. Whitson said he thought AI would free up human workers from number-crunching.<\/p>\n<p>Walkinshaw, echoing many political leaders in Northern Virginia eager to diversify the local economy away from the federal government, said he wanted to see Fairfax County become \u201cknown worldwide as the region where our workforce knows how to utilize AI.\u201d He noted the challenge of keeping American AI competitive with Chinese developers while ensuring enough regulation to curb negative effects on employment.<\/p>\n","paginatedContent":[],"excerpt":"<p>Candidates in Virginia\u2019s 11th

compromise on tipped minimum wage with final budget vote","content":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After a lengthy debate hashing out the future of D.C.\u2019s tipped minimum wage, lawmakers Monday passed next year\u2019s budget for the District.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The D.C. Council passed a 2026 budget plan for the second and final time, leaving in place many of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/05\/29\/owsers-budget-slashes-safety-net-programs-reflecting-tougher-economic-times-ahead\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">biggest cuts proposed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> by Mayor Muriel Bowser but making some changes around the margins. Perhaps the most substantial single change the council made to Bowser\u2019s proposal was to revamp the structure of Initiative 82, the ballot measure twice passed by voters that would phase out the city\u2019s lower minimum wage for tipped workers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This new plan would freeze the wage at its current rate of $10 an hour for these employees, and gradually increase it once every two years. I-82 as approved by the voters calls for the tipped wage to reach the same level as the standard minimum by 2027; under this new structure, the tipped wage would cap out at 75 percent of the minimum wage in 2034. Employers are still required, as they are now, to make up any gap between the base wage plus tips to ensure workers reach the full minimum wage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This measure, backed primarily by At-Large Councilmember Christina Henderson and Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen, passed on a narrow, 7-5 vote, with proponents viewing it as a compromise that could meet the needs of both workers and restaurant owners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bowser had <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/05\/07\/bowsers-proposal-to-repeal-initiative-82-tees-up-another-battle-over-d-c-s-tipped-minimum-wage\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">proposed repealing the initiative<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> entirely and resetting the tipped wage back to its old levels in a bid to help restaurants cope with rising labor costs. But lawmakers rejected that option in their first budget vote two weeks ago, opting to find a solution meant to help restaurants without cutting the base wage for workers. A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/07\/14\/mendelson-backs-a-tipped-minimum-wage-overhaul-offsets-100-million-in-cuts-to-social-programs-in-new-budget-proposal\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">previous version of a compromise plan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> backed by At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie and Ward 2 Councilmember Brooke Pinto faltered, but the latest compromise managed to quell enough concerns on both sides of the heated debate to advance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe want workers to be able to have the annual wage growth and restaurants to have more manageable labor costs,\u201d Henderson said. \u201cAnd we think that this strikes the balance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The city\u2019s restaurant workers\u2019 union and several progressive lawmakers opposed the change, however, arguing it undermines the will of voters. I-82 contained a very specific schedule of wage increases, with the promise that it would someday eliminate the tipped wage altogether. (Protesters repeatedly shouted down councilmembers as they spoke in favor of the proposal, briefly delaying proceedings and causing Council Chair Phil Mendelson to clear the chamber as the meeting stretched into the evening.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Critics of the compromise remain adamant that the simplest way to increase wages for workers is to embrace this full elimination of any difference, making it harder for employers to commit wage theft in the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe need to prioritize helping restaurants adapt rather than continuing to make sacrifices at the expense of the workers who keep D.C.’s economy strong,\u201d said Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George. \u201cLocal restaurants have had two years to prepare for these increases. If restaurants need help adjusting, let’s connect them with the numerous restaurants who actually have successfully implemented changes and are thriving.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Much of the rest of the budget debate was impacted by the Council\u2019s ongoing fight with Chief Financial Officer Glen Lee, who has the power to reject the budget if he sees problems with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mendelson opted to pull over about $60 million in revenues that came in above the city\u2019s estimates for the 2025 fiscal year to help balance the new budget. But Lee claimed doing so would be fiscally irresponsible, as the money is needed to cover city agencies overspending their budgets and refill reserve accounts. He threatened not to certify the budget if the council didn\u2019t put some of that money back (a tactic both Lee and past CFOs have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/dc-politics\/dc-chief-financial-officer-refuses-to-certify-city-budget-citing-improper-spending\/2019\/06\/10\/961c830c-8bbf-11e9-adf3-f70f78c156e8_story.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">repeatedly<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtoncitypaper.com\/article\/685662\/cfo-glen-lee-is-digging-in-as-dispute-with-bowser-mendelson-over-2025-budget-grows-more-contentious\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">employed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in disputes with lawmakers) and Mendelson relented.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He decided to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lims.dccouncil.gov\/downloads\/LIMS\/57782\/Bill_Amendment\/B26-0260-Bill_Amendment_8.pdf?Id=218113\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cut about $30 million<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> from a variety of programs the Council had hoped to fund at levels above Bowser\u2019s proposal, such as affordable housing loans and vouchers to help people afford housing. But Mendelson said he does not plan to drop this issue moving forward, viewing Lee\u2019s actions as \u201can erosion\u201d of the Council\u2019s powers to set the city\u2019s budget \u201cthat cannot stand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe CFO’s job is to control spending within our approved budget and that didn’t happen,\u201d Lewis George said. \u201cAnd now the residents of the District will suffer the consequences.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the other major flashpoints involved Ward 5 Councilmember Zachary Parker\u2019s efforts to raise the city\u2019s capital gains tax rate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lims.dccouncil.gov\/downloads\/LIMS\/57782\/Bill_Amendment\/B26-0260-Bill_Amendment_7.pdf?Id=218111\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">estimated<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that a small increase in that rate could generate something like $111 million in new revenue for the city over the next four years, which he proposed using to restore funding to one of his signature proposals: a new child tax credit for D.C. families.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis is a small ask for those that have the most among us to give a little so that we can extend a lifeline to those in greatest need,\u201d Parker said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, the measure narrowly failed on a 7-5 vote, as lawmakers raised concerns that the measure might prompt wealthy people to leave the city. Some councilmembers did allow, though, that they could return to this issue in the fall, as the effects of tax cuts steered through by Republicans in Congress become more clear for the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, councilmembers also tussled over the future of funding meant to implement ranked choice voting in local elections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lawmakers voted two weeks ago to include money in the budget for this change after a ballot initiative on the subject <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/24\/11\/06\/ranked-choice-voting-d-c-council-incumbents-win-big-in-district-elections\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">passed overwhelmingly<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> last year. But At-Large Councilmember Anita Bonds and Ward 7 Councilmember Wendell Felder, two of the staunchest opponents of ranked choice voting on the Council, proposed using that money instead to study the city\u2019s readiness to make that reform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But lawmakers rejected that idea on a 7-5, noting the amendment would likely slow the city\u2019s attempts to have this reform in place in time for the consequential 2026 elections. Some feared it would effectively delay this reform to death.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSometimes we say \u2018let’s do a needs assessment, let’s do a working group, let’s do a commission,\u2019 when we are trying to not do the thing that we already know that we need to do,\u201d Henderson said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The ballot initiative also called for the city to open party primaries to independent voters, and Pinto proposed funding that part of the measure, pulling money away from the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival to do so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, that narrowly failed on a 6-5 vote. (Lewis George voted present.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The full budget now heads to Bowser for her signature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","paginatedContent":[],"excerpt":"<p>The D.C.

Can they jump over a metal rail and then onto the top of a wooden box that\u2019s over 3 and a half feet tall? Can they walk across a metal rail, stop and balance on one foot – then another, and then run and jump onto yet another metal rail?<\/p>\n<p>These moves are just what the younger kids do. And they\u2019re a part of the sport of parkour, which combines elements of gymnastics and martial arts.

In the video, the young man jumps from roof to roof on abandoned city buildings, swinging over elevated metal railings like a gymnast on the uneven bars, leaping off high structures forward into front rolls.<\/p>\n<p>When Revolus first encountered the sport, it was still relatively new. Parkour was created in France in the early 1990s, and through the internet and social media, was exported worldwide. Revolus recalls what he felt watching that Russian parkour video for the first time, \u201c\u200aHe reminded me of all of my favorite characters from a cartoon or an anime. And I was like, \u2018yeah, I wanna be like that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Revolus says part of why he was drawn to parkour was that it allowed him a greater sense of adventure and challenge, one that appealed to him because it was so different from his upbringing. \u201c\u200aI was really sheltered as a child, and my mom didn’t let me go out much\u2026.I just never had anything to test myself in that way. I was so in love with the idea of parkour, just the look of it and the cool abilities that came with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7074879\" style=\"width: 1680px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7074879\" src=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_08-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_08-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_08-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_08-1500x1001.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_08-900x601.jpg 900w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_08-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_08-1600x1068.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text caption\"><span>Assistant coach Ralston Galbraith jumps from one rail to another.<\/span> <span class=\"credits photo-credit\">Tyrone Turner \/ WAMU<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After he learned about the sport, however, Revolus didn\u2019t have anyone to train with. One afternoon at a basketball game, however, he noticed someone doing parkour nearby, and Revolus introduced himself. This man would eventually become his coach.<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning, he says he faced a lot of fear when he would try moves, fear that he felt viscerally. \u201c\u200aI can remember my heart sinking into my stomach, kind of like those moments when your blood goes cold just being intimidated by something. And my coach would always make fun of me ’cause he was like, \u2018I’ve never seen someone so afraid of everything.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the scariest moves for him at the time? The precision jump. \u201c\u200aThe precision jump is a technique that allows us to jump from one object to another and land on it precisely with a ton of control and stay on it,\u201d Revolus says. His coach helped him push through the fear and showed him it was possible. \u201c\u200a\u2026It literally looked like he was animated, like he was flying through the air and he landed on this rail so gracefully and just stayed there.\u201d He says seeing his coach do this empowered him. \u201cThat was a huge step in my training because once I got the precision jump, I became less afraid of most things because I knew I would always land on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7074878\" style=\"width: 1680px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7074878\" src=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_07-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_07-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_07-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_07-1500x1001.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_07-900x601.jpg 900w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_07-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_07-1600x1068.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text caption\"><span>Coach Rowan Takamura jumps as he goes through the parkour course.<\/span> <span class=\"credits photo-credit\">Tyrone Turner \/ WAMU<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once Revolus moved to D.C. to attend college, he started going to “park jams”, gatherings where parkour enthusiasts and athletes meet. They’re held in places like Gateway and Macomb Park and are where people practice their skills and connect.<\/p>\n<p>Revolus later started to train whoever wanted to learn.<\/p>\n<p>Soon enough, local gym <a href=\"https:\/\/americanparkour.com\/\">American Parkour <\/a>asked him to coach. Revolus was hesitant at first, he says, but gave it a try. Later, he would realize his love for teaching. \u201cI had a knack for coaching. I had a knack for explaining things to people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was the fact that he wasn\u2019t automatically fearless before trying or perfecting new moves that helped him coach students through their own mental barriers, he says. \u201cI think my interpersonal skills really helped with that, along with the fact parkour was not intuitive for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>American Parkour was a hub for parkour activity in the District, leaving a void when it closed in 2020. So, Revolous decided to create a new home for the community, bringing in students he\u2019d worked with for years. He opened the doors of his studio on July 1 of this year.<\/p>\n<p>At his studio Motus Crucis, his students agree, parkour is more than just a physical discipline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to be really brave in order to do stuff,\u201d says Cole Williams. He\u2019s 9 years-old and trains with Revolus. He says one of the hardest skills for him to do is balancing on a metal rail, then picking up speed, and jumping onto yet another metal rail.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7074873\" style=\"width: 1680px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7074873\" src=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_02-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_02-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_02-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_02-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_02-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_02-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/110725_Parkour_02-1600x1200.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text caption\"><span>Nico Cabrera balances as he makes his way through the course.<\/span> <span class=\"credits photo-credit\">Tyrone Turner \/ WAMU<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Students also say that parkour involves not only overcoming fear, but learning how to manage it through interrogating it – knowing when to push through and when to listen to your body.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou look at something and then your brain sets off all these alarm bells saying that you’re not ready for it. And a lot of times it does that, even when you are ready for it. And then you have to work through that and figure out what part of this is making you uncomfortable,\u201d says Turner Holloway. He\u2019s 18 and is now one of the coaches at Motus Crucis. He\u2019s trained with Revolus for the past 8 years.<\/p>\n<p>Across town from the parkour studio, families gather inside the large, open, Great Hall of D.C.\u2019s National Building Museum. Each summer, they have an installation that encourages people to learn about structures and buildings in a hands-on way. This one opened on July 3, and is called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/nbm.org\/exhibitions\/momentum-parkour\/\">Momentum Park(our)<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly Cole is the Director of Youth Programs and Engagement at the museum. She worked closely with a parkour expert who brought to life the courses in the installation. \u201cThis year we wanted something that involved movement of your body,” she says. “So we got in contact with a parkour athlete, a renowned parkour enthusiast, to create some parkour courses that get people thinking about the way that they interact with the built environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The installation is separated into three sections. The first part of the course is geared towards younger kids. It has targets spread out on the floor where they should place their feet. The premise here: the floor is lava.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7074932\" style=\"width: 1680px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7074932\" src=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Parkour-Museum-Photos-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1680\" height=\"946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Parkour-Museum-Photos-04-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Parkour-Museum-Photos-04-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Parkour-Museum-Photos-04-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Parkour-Museum-Photos-04-1500x845.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Parkour-Museum-Photos-04-900x507.jpg 900w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Parkour-Museum-Photos-04-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Parkour-Museum-Photos-04-1600x901.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text caption\"><span>A child uses one part of the course, designed to introduce basic parkour skills through familiar concepts like \u201cthe floor is lava\u201d.<\/span> <span class=\"credits photo-credit\">Cynthia Betubiza \/ WAMU<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Mark Toorock is a parkour athlete and expert hired by the museum to design and create the installation.

Public Schools. She worked with Toorock on incorporating parkour into the curriculum. She says that parkour complements where 7th graders are developmentally, helping them with physical skills, creativity, and the confidence needed to thrive in other areas of life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach child brings with them, as they’re learning their skills, a component of their creativity.

Neighbors say they\u2019ve had no input","content":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Binta Robinson has seen it for years now: When the Mubadala Citi DC Open <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/07\/17\/get-out-there-mubadala-citi-dc-open\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">comes to town<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, she says her neighborhood suffers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Large, raucous crowds spill into the neighborhoods surrounding the Rock Creek Tennis Center as matches end late at night. Attendees jam the roads with cars, defy residential parking rules, and pack trash cans with food wrappers and beer cans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the tennis tournament in town, Robinson has dealt with this disruption all this week, helping her elderly father who lives just across from the center on 16th Street NW. It\u2019s why she counts herself among the neighbors who are so nervous about the facility\u2019s potential expansion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis is supposed to be a quiet residential neighborhood, and it\u2019s disturbing the peace,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cWhat\u2019s gonna happen if this increases? It\u2019s already bad.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the coming years, D.C. officials hope to renovate the stadium and its surrounding courts, which haven\u2019t seen meaningful improvements since the center\u2019s opening in 1989. Mark Ein, the wealthy businessman who owns the Citi Open tournament, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/06\/12\/d-c-is-pursuing-a-deal-to-gain-control-of-the-rock-creek-tennis-center-and-develop-a-sportsplex\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">wants to go even further<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and work with the District to build more recreational facilities on the property.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But first the city needs to get control of the land, which is currently managed by the National Park Service. Mayor Muriel Bowser\u2019s office said in a statement that negotiations are ongoing to \u201cgive D.C. more control over that facility so that we will continue to have world-class tennis in D.C. for a long time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Council Chair Phil Mendelson isn\u2019t waiting to move forward. He <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/dc-md-va\/2025\/07\/18\/rock-creek-tennis-center-repair-dc-council-budget\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">included $9 million<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in his budget proposal to allow for repairs to move ahead whenever the deal gets done, avoiding the need for the city to wait for next year\u2019s spending plan to fund the renovation work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe tennis center desperately needs modernization, and the annual tournament is in jeopardy if that stadium is not improved,\u201d Mendelson told reporters earlier this month, pointing to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wusa9.com\/article\/news\/investigations\/mubadala-dc-citi-open-mark-ein-john-borden-atp-tour-leaving-dc\/65-9757c1c6-d80c-461e-889e-dd7192d9a120\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ein\u2019s claims<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that the Association of Tennis Professionals could move the tournament if the center doesn\u2019t see changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many neighbors agree the facility needs work. But they feel they\u2019ve been cut out of the process for guiding what that renovation looks like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vince Micone, who chairs the area\u2019s advisory neighborhood commission, led his colleagues in passing a resolution last week condemning the Council for not involving the community before including the money for repairs in the budget. He noted the funding was only tucked into the legislation <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AlexKomaDC\/status\/1944431991488729091\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a day before lawmakers voted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on the spending plan, long after the Council was done accepting public feedback.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis is not the way to go about having that sort of discussion about what a park should be used [for] and how it serves the community,\u201d Micone said during the ANC meeting on the subject. \u201cIf you believe in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/05\/29\/dc-history-home-rule-federal-interference\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Home Rule<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and you believe in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/code.dccouncil.gov\/us\/dc\/council\/code\/sections\/1-309.10\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ANC Act<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, you don’t drop things in a bill on a Sunday night without letting your other elected officials know that this is gonna happen.That’s not fair, that’s not right.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some fear that any renovation work will have a negative impact on Rock Creek Park, which sits directly adjacent to the tennis center, and on the wildlife living there. NPS hasn\u2019t evaluated the environmental impacts of expanding the center since <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/1995\/05\/24\/95-12624\/final-rock-creek-tennis-stadium-environment-impact-statement-washington-dc\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">performing a study three decades ago<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (when it concluded that additional construction would come with a host of negative consequences), and many neighbors would like to see additional scrutiny of the subject.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis is not something the community asked for, and I\u2019m not sure it would pass an environmental assessment,\u201d said Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George, who represents the area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But the bigger concern for people like Richard Fried, the head of the 16th Street Heights Neighborhood Association, is that any repairs are merely the first step toward the broader overhaul of the property. He particularly worries that Ein will seek to expand the size of the existing tournament, or hold more events there to justify any investment in the area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI don’t see any way that it can be dealt with without totally urbanizing the park by paving over the ball fields or building a parking garage,\u201d Fried said, arguing costs could balloon to many multiples of the $9 million advanced by the city depending how it plays out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ein has so far declined to comment on his vision for the site, or who might foot the bill for these upgrades. But preliminary plans call for additional courts, a new community center and perhaps even an Olympic-sized outdoor pool. (Bowser included $3 million in her budget proposal to design such a pool for the area, though lawmakers declined to fund the project.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Juliana Gonen, another advisory neighborhood commissioner representing the area, urged her constituents to keep an open mind about the potential benefits of such a project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIf we simply come out sort of on fire, opposing everything and don\u2019t engage constructively, I think we will not be heard,\u201d Gonen said at the ANC meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Robinson and some of her fellow neighbors doubt the city could do anything to effectively mitigate the impacts on the neighborhood, based on their experiences with the existing tournament. And she frets that the city could wind up pouring more money into the property at a time when it\u2019s also busy funding another project Ein\u2019s involved in: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/05\/20\/an-rfk-stadium-deal-aims-to-drive-rapid-redevelopment-will-it-pay-off-for-the-district\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a new football stadium<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> at the RFK campus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She\u2019s suggested to city officials that it would make more sense to co-locate the two projects, particularly because Ein is also a minority owner of the Washington Commanders, but she hasn\u2019t found anyone particularly receptive to that idea just yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhy is this burden being imposed upon us?\u201d Robinson said. \u201cIs it because some wealthy interest wants it there at Rock Creek Park?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Council could approve the renovation funding in its final vote on the budget next week. But neighbors are urging lawmakers to cut this money until the community can weigh in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bowser and Ein initially hoped to make some sort of announcement about the project at this year\u2019s tennis tournament. But the city has hit some snags in its negotiations with the federal government about getting control of the land, according to two sources familiar with the talks, so concerned neighbors may have more time to plead their case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","paginatedContent":[],"excerpt":"<p>The city hopes to renovate the home of the Mubadala Citi DC Open tennis tournament, but people living near the

The NCI, part of the National Institutes of Health, has long been supported by bipartisan funding and plays a critical role in cancer research globally. The U.S. contributes significantly more money to cancer research than any other country around the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Current and former employees report that morale has “tanked” as the administration hollows out the agency, with many scientists leaving in frustration. The cuts are already impacting basic operations at the institute, according to KFF Health News correspondent Rachana Pradhan. Scientists say they are having trouble obtaining basic supplies for their research, while websites containing crucial cancer treatment and diagnostic information that both patients and doctors rely on are not being updated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Research grants are also being cut at what scientists describe as unprecedented levels. Sylvia Chou, who has worked at NCI for 15 years on cancer prevention and control, says the number of cancelled grants is unlike anything she has seen before. “Whether it’s someone who has a child diagnosed with cancer, considering clinical trials, or someone who is discussing options for healthcare decision making, this is something that really will impact the healthcare experience of millions of Americans.”<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Grants focusing on the health of racial, gender, and sexual minorities are among those most commonly flagged for review and cancellation. According to Chou, many grants have been terminated without clear explanations, with decisions that she says are not based on scientific merit or impact on public health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">“None of it is based on, you know, whether they’re doing their job, whether they were reviewed well, or anything that could be actually focused on the science or even the people or the public health impact,” Chou said. Some termination letters obtained by KFF Health News described projects focusing on LGBTQ+ health as “unscientific” and doing nothing to enhance Americans’ health, though an HHS spokesman disputed this characterization as “misleading and inflammatory.”<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">In response to the cuts, hundreds of current and former NIH employees, including Chou, have signed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standupforscience.net\/bethesda-declaration\">Bethesda Declaration<\/a>, which openly protests the Trump administration’s actions. The declaration argues that the administration is undermining NIH’s mission, wasting public resources, and harming Americans’ health by slashing research projects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">The situation may worsen significantly if the White House gets its way with Congress. The administration is seeking to slash the Cancer Institute’s budget by nearly 40% next year. If approved, scientists warn that NCI would be forced to suspend new research grants or make severe cuts to existing ones, leading to lab closures and bringing clinical research at the institute to a halt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">You can read Rachana’s full story written with her colleague Arthur Allen, below.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7074973\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7074973\" src=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/0DKw7xNQ.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/0DKw7xNQ-300x250.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/0DKw7xNQ-600x500.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text caption\"><span>Mike Etchamendy of Big Bear Lake, California, with his dog, Bear.

In 2023, cancer killed more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/fastats\/leading-causes-of-death.htm\">613,000 people<\/a>, making it the second-leading cause of death after heart disease. But the cancer fight has also made enormous progress. Cancer mortality in the U.S. has <a href=\"https:\/\/pressroom.cancer.org\/2025CancerFactsandFigures\">fallen by 34% since 1991<\/a>, according to the American Cancer Society. There are roughly <a href=\"https:\/\/cancercontrol.cancer.gov\/ocs\/about\/survivorship-month\">18 million cancer survivors<\/a> in the country.<\/p>\n<p>That trend \u201cwe can very, very closely tie to the enhanced investment in cancer science by the U.S. government,\u201d said Karen Knudsen, CEO of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy and a globally recognized expert on prostate cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re winning,\u201d Knudsen said. \u201cWhy we would let up, I really don\u2019t understand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This article is based on interviews with nearly two dozen current and former NCI employees, academic researchers, scientists, and patients. KFF Health News agreed not to name some government workers because they are not authorized to speak to the news media and fear retaliation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s horrible. It\u2019s a crap show. It really, really is,\u201d said an NCI laboratory chief who has worked at the institute for three decades. He\u2019s lost six of the 30 people in his lab this year: four scientists, a secretary, and an administrator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we survive I will be somewhat surprised,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>After a mandate by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Government Efficiency to slash contract spending by more than a third, the cancer institute is cutting contracts to maintain precious biological specimens used in its research, according to three scientists. \u201cThe required contract cuts are going to be devastating,\u201d a senior scientist said.<\/p>\n<p>On the NCI campus in Bethesda, Maryland, scientists describe delays in getting essential supplies \u2014 \u201cliterally anything that goes into a test tube or a petri dish,\u201d a recently departed clinician said \u2014 because of staffing cuts and constant changes in policies about what they can order.<\/p>\n<p>Even the websites that publish new evidence on cancer treatment and diagnosis aren\u2019t being updated, because HHS fired workers who managed them. And when NCI scientists do communicate with outsiders, what they say has been severely restricted, according to documents viewed by KFF Health News. Forbidden topics include mass firings, President Donald Trump\u2019s executive orders, and \u201cDEIA\u201d \u2013 diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.<\/p>\n<p>The turmoil at the National Institutes of Health\u2019s largest arm could haunt the country and the world for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really, really don\u2019t understand what they\u2019re trying to achieve,\u201d said Sarah Kobrin, chief of NCI\u2019s health systems and interventions research branch. \u201cIt just doesn\u2019t make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEfforts that are lifesaving now are being curtailed,\u201d one scientist said. \u201cPeople will die.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Years of Bipartisan Support<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Initially, some workers said, they thought the cancer institute might be spared. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has called chronic disease \u2014 cancer is one \u2014 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NeeC7nGm6cI\">an existential threat<\/a>\u201d to the country. Cancer research, with multiple NCI-funded breakthroughs in genetics and immunotherapy, has sidestepped the political minefields around other public health issues, like vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople who care about cancer might be the biggest lobby in the country,\u201d said Paul Goldberg, editor and publisher of The Cancer Letter, which has monitored oncology science and policy since 1973.<\/p>\n<p>Count Mike Etchamendy, 69, of Big Bear Lake, California, as part of that lobby. Since 2013 he\u2019s flown to the East Coast scores of times to participate in five clinical trials at the cancer wing of NIH\u2019s Clinical Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey call it the House of Hope,\u201d Etchamendy said. Between drugs, therapeutic vaccines, and expert treatment for his rare bone cancer, called chordoma, he said, he believes he\u2019s gained at least 10 years of life. He\u2019s proud to have served as a \u201clab rat for science\u201d and worries about NCI\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople come from all over the world to learn there,\u201d Etchamendy said. \u201cYou cut funding there, you\u2019re going to cut major research on cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response to a list of detailed questions from KFF Health News about the cuts and chaos at NCI, HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said the reporting amounted to a \u201cbiased narrative\u201d that \u201cmisrepresents a necessary transformation at the National Cancer Institute.\u201d Nixon declined to elaborate but said research into cancer and other health conditions continues to be a high priority \u201cfor both NIH and HHS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are refocusing resources on high-impact, evidence-based research \u2014 free from ideological bias or institutional complacency. While change can be uncomfortable for those invested in the status quo, it is essential to ensure that NCI delivers on its core mission,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Much of NCI\u2019s work is authorized by the National Cancer Act of 1971, which expanded its mandate as part of President Richard Nixon\u2019s \u201cWar on Cancer.\u201d Three of four of the cancer institute\u2019s research dollars go to outside scientists, with most of the remainder funding more than 300 scientists on campus.<\/p>\n<p>And Congress was generous. Harold Varmus, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nih.gov\/about-nih\/nih-almanac\/nobel-laureates\">one of more than 40 Nobel laureates<\/a> whose work was funded by NCI, said budgets were usually handsome when he was NIH director from 1993 through 1999. President Bill Clinton \u201cwould say to me, \u2018I\u2019d like to give you a bigger increase, Harold, but your friends in Congress will bring it up.\u2019 He\u2019d offer me a 5% increase,\u201d Varmus recalled, but \u201cI\u2019d end up getting more like 10%\u201d from Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Congress appropriated $2 billion to NCI in fiscal 1993. By 2025, funding had risen to $7.22 billion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rat on Your Colleagues<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During a May 19 town hall meeting with NIH staff members, Jay Bhattacharya, the institute\u2019s new director, equivocated when asked about funding cuts for research into improving the health of racial and ethnic minorities \u2014 cuts made under the guise of purging DEI from the government.<\/p>\n<p>According to a recording of the meeting obtained by KFF Health News, Bhattacharya said the agency remained \u201cabsolutely committed to advancing the health and well-being of every population, including minority populations, LGBTQ populations, and every population.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Research addressing the health needs of women and minorities is \u201can absolute priority of mine,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to keep funding that.\u201d But a study considering whether \u201cstructural racism causes poor health in minority populations\u201d is \u201cnot a scientific hypothesis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need scientific ideas that are actionable, that improve the health and well-being of people, not ideological ideas that don\u2019t have any chance of improving the health and well-being of people,\u201d he said. That comment angered many staffers, several said in interviews. Many got up and walked out during the speech, while others, watching remotely, scoffed or jeered.<\/p>\n<p>Several current and former NCI scientists questioned Bhattacharya\u2019s commitment to young scientists and minorities. Staffing cuts early in the year eliminated many recently hired NCI scientists. At least 172 National Cancer Institute grants, including for research aimed at minimizing health disparities among racial minorities or LGBTQ+ people, were terminated and hadn\u2019t been reinstated as of June 16, according to a KFF Health News analysis of HHS documents and a list of grant terminations by outside researchers.<\/p>\n<p>Those populations have higher rates of certain cancer diagnoses and are more likely to receive diagnoses later than white or heterosexual people. Black people are also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/about-cancer\/understanding\/disparities\">more likely to die<\/a> of many cancer types than all other racial and ethnic groups.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Guida, a researcher who focuses on accelerated aging in cancer survivors, said she recently left NCI after a decade in part because of the administration\u2019s DEI orders. According to several workers and internal emails viewed by KFF Health News, those included an HHS edict in January to report their colleagues who worked on such issues, and flagging grants that included DEI-related terms because they didn\u2019t align with Trump\u2019s priorities.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m not going to put my name attached to that. I don\u2019t stand for that. It\u2019s not OK,\u201d said Guida, who added that it amounted to a \u201cscrubbing of science.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Racial discrimination is <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC7790841\/#:~:text=Past%20studies%20have%20reported%20that,types%20of%20disadvantage%20on%20GrimAge.\">one factor<\/a> that contributes to accelerated aging. \u201cThere are a growing number of cancer survivors in the U.S.,\u201d Guida said, and \u201ca significant number of those people who will become cancer survivors are racial and ethnic minorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose people deserve to be studied,\u201d she said. \u201cHow can you help those people if you\u2019re not even studying them?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In May, NCI informed leaders of the Comprehensive Partnerships to Advance Cancer Health Equity, a program that links 14 large U.S. cancer centers with minority-serving colleges and universities, that their funding would be cut. The project\u2019s Notice of Funding Opportunity \u2014 the mechanism the government uses to award grants \u2014 had been suddenly taken offline, meaning NCI staffers couldn\u2019t award future funding, according to three sources and internal communications viewed by KFF Health News. These \u201cunpublishings\u201d have often occurred without warning, explanation, or even notification of the grantee that no more money would be coming.<\/p>\n<p>The cancer partnerships have trained more than 8,500 scientists. They\u2019re designed to address widely documented disparities in cancer care by having top medical schools place students from rural, poor, and minority-serving schools and community clinics in research, training, and outreach.<\/p>\n<p>Research shows that patients from racial and ethnic minorities receive better medical care and have improved outcomes when their clinicians share their background.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m from an immigrant family, the first to graduate in my family,\u201d said Elena Martinez, a professor of family medicine and public health at the University of California-San Diego, who leads one of the partnerships with colleagues at largely Hispanic San Diego State University. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be here without this kind of program, and there won\u2019t be people like me here in the future if we cut these programs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Silencing the Science Communicators<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In early April, when the dust settled after mass firings across HHS, workers in NCI\u2019s communications office were relieved they still had their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t last. A month later, HHS fired nearly all of them, three former workers said. Combined with retirements and other departures, a skeleton crew of six or seven remain of about 75 people. \u201cWe were all completely blindsided,\u201d a fired worker said. NCI leadership \u201chad no idea that this was happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a result, websites, newsletters, and other resources for patients and doctors about the latest evidence in cancer treatment aren\u2019t being updated. They include <a href=\"http:\/\/cancer.gov\">Cancer.gov<\/a> and NCI\u2019s widely used Physician Data Query, which compile research findings that doctors turn to when caring for cancer patients.<\/p>\n<p>Gary Kreps, founding director of the Center for Health and Risk Communication at George Mason University, said he relied on Physician Data Query when his father was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer, taking PDQ printouts when he met with his dad\u2019s doctors. \u201cIt made a huge difference,\u201d Kreps said. \u201cHe ended up living, like, another three years\u201d \u2014 longer than expected \u2014 \u201cand enjoyed the rest of his life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As of May 30, banners at the top of the Cancer.gov and PDQ websites said, \u201cDue to HHS restructuring and reduction in workforce efforts, the information on this website may not be up to date and pages will indicate as such.\u201d The banners are gone, but neither website was being updated, according to a fired worker with knowledge of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Outdated PDQ information is \u201creally very dangerous,\u201d Kreps said.<\/p>\n<p>Wiping out NCI\u2019s communications staff makes it harder to share complex and ever-changing information that doctors and patients need, said Peter Garrett, who headed NCI\u2019s communications before retiring in May. Garrett said he left because of concerns about political interference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe science isn\u2019t finished until it\u2019s communicated,\u201d he said. \u201cWithout the government playing that role, who\u2019s going to step in?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Budget To \u2018Destroy Clinical Research\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Following court decisions that blocked some NIH grant cancellations or rendered them \u201cvoid\u201d and \u201cillegal,\u201d NIH official Michelle Bulls in late June told staffers to stop terminating grants. However, NCI workers told KFF Health News they continue to review grants flagged by NIH to assess whether they align with Trump administration priorities. Courts have ordered NIH to reinstate some terminated grants, but not all of them.<\/p>\n<p>At NCI and across NIH, staffers remain anxious.<\/p>\n<p>The White House wants Congress to slash the cancer institute\u2019s budget by nearly 40%, to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/fy-2026-budget-in-brief.pdf\">$4.53 billion<\/a>, as part of a larger proposal to sharply reduce NIH\u2019s fiscal 2026 coffers.<\/p>\n<p>Bhattacharya has said he wants NIH to fund more big, breakthrough research. Major cuts could have the opposite effect, Knudsen said. When NCI funding shrinks, \u201cit\u2019s the safe science that tends to get funded, not the science that is game changing and has the potential to be transformative for cures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Usually the president\u2019s budget is dead on arrival in Congress, and members of both parties have expressed doubt about Trump\u2019s 2026 proposal. But agency workers, outside scientists, and patients fear this one may stick, with devastating impact.<\/p>\n<p>It would force NCI to suspend all new grants or cut existing grants so severely that the gaps will close many labs, said Varmus, who ran NCI from 2010 to 2015. Add that to the impact on NCI\u2019s contracts, clinical trials, internal research, and salaries, he said, and \u201cyou can reliably say that NCI will be unable to keep up in any way with the promise of science that\u2019s currently underway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NCI laboratory chief, who has worked at the institute for decades, put it this way: \u201cIf the 40% budget cut passes in Congress, it will destroy clinical research at NCI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>KFF Health News correspondent Rae Ellen Bichell contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/kffhealthnews.org\/news\/article\/national-cancer-institute-nih-cuts-chaos-scientific-biomedical-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article<\/a> first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/kffhealthnews.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KFF Health News<\/a> and is republished here under a Creative Commons license.<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 1em;height: 1em;margin-left: 10px\" src=\"https:\/\/kffhealthnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/kffhealthnews-icon.png?w=150\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"republication-tracker-tool-source\" style=\"width: 1px;height: 1px\" src=\"https:\/\/kffhealthnews.org\/?republication-pixel=true&post=2056412&ga4=G-J74WWTKFM0\" \/><\/p>\n","paginatedContent":[],"excerpt":"<p>Current and former employees report that morale has “tanked” as the administration hollows out the agency, with many scientists leaving in frustration.

He argued she had favored districts aligned with her politically and the funding distribution was unfair. The rescissions, he said, were meant to right those wrongs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe have not seen this level of inequitable distribution as a body\u2026 And so this is an unprecedented level of inequity, which required shifts,\u201d Burroughs said at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Former Council Chair Jolene Ivey defended her original allocations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMy focus is on organizations that serve the entire county, not about pitting nonprofits, or even electeds, against one another,\u201d says Ivey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, facing growing criticism and pressure, Council Chair Burroughs appears to be reversing course. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Burrough\u2019s office did confirm to WAMU he was working to use the new budget cycle that started July 1st to try and restore grants to nonprofits that abruptly lost funding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a statement to his fellow council members in June, he announced plans to restore funding to affected nonprofits using a pool of nondepartmental grant funds, bolstered by a modest increase in the 2026 budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe purpose of this increase was to support nonprofits that may have been negatively impacted by my efforts to ensure greater equity in our allocations,\u201d Burroughs wrote in an email to colleagues last month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This shift has been welcomed by some, but many nonprofit leaders remain frustrated and wary. The abrupt reversals and the political maneuvering behind them have wrought havoc on already tight budgets and sown and distrust of the county government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And political tensions continue to ripple through the council. Like most local councils, members must form coalitions to pass legislation or secure leadership positions, which can mean shifting alliances, rivalries, and infighting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Whiplash on federal and local levels<\/b><\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7074810\" style=\"width: 1680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2594.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7074810 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2594.jpg\" alt=\"Jenny Abamu\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2594-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2594-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2594-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2594-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2594-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2594-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2594-1600x1200.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text caption\"><span>From left to right: LaTasha Ward, founder of the Solid Foundation, which helps formerly incarcerated individuals start businesses, and Margaret Morgan-Hubbard is the founder of Eco City Farms.

WAMU\/Jenny Abamu<\/span> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For local grant recipients, the abrupt nature of the rescissions\u2014local grants approved in October 2024 and pulled back in April 2025\u2014created uncertainty and headaches. At the same time, some organizations are simultaneously dealing with uncertainty around federal funding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to losing $75,000 from the county, Hubbard’s organization, Eco City Farms, lost over $300,000 in federal funding after her grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture was not renewed this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Trump administration halted <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/03\/22\/politics\/food-banks-usda-delivery-halt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">$500 million<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in the U.S. Department of Agriculture deliveries to local food banks. Nationwide, an estimated 20,000 nonprofit workers have lost their jobs since the start of Trump\u2019s second term, according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.philanthropy.com\/article\/10-000-job-cuts-in-70-days-introducing-the-nonprofit-layoff-tracker\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chronicle of Philanthropy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/west-wing-playbook-remaking-government\/2025\/04\/18\/trumps-war-on-nonprofits-00299472\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Administration officials described<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> nonprofits as \u201crunning wild\u201d off of \u201cdrunken unchecked\u201d federal government spending, adding they will not support organizations which don\u2019t align with the president\u2019s goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">LaTasha Ward, founder of the Solid Foundation, which helps formerly incarcerated individuals start businesses, believes the region needs rules in place to prevent politically-motivated funding cuts. Her organization lost $20,000 in county funding in the recent rescissions,<\/span> and she draws explicit comparisons to tactics being deployed at the federal level.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHoping that we can have something in place moving forward, that somebody can’t come and do a Trump on us. That’s what it felt like,\u201d Ward told WAMU. \u201cIt’s not a way to build public trust. It’s not a way to build a community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prince George’s County\u00a0 lawmakers aren\u2019t aiming to take funding away from nonprofits for ideological reasons. But c politics between members\u00a0 have been driving these funding decisions, and nonprofits are caught in the crossfire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For these nonprofit leaders, the broader implications extend beyond any single budget cycle. They say this kind of political maneuvering erodes the trust that nonprofits have in government, local or federal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It’s everywhere. The ripple effect is enormous,” Hubbard said.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>The politics of funding<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These internal council battles over where and how to allocate funding aren\u2019t likely to go away given the changing makeup of the council, with an influx of younger members challenging the status quo. Four years ago there were no millennial council members; now <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/marylandmatters.org\/2025\/06\/28\/millennials-taking-control-in-prince-georges-county-politics\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">five of the eleven seats are held by<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> people in their mid-forties or younger. At 32 years old, Council Chair Burroughs became the youngest person to hold the position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He and other council members have expressed a desire to, for example, allocate more funding to smaller, progressive, Black-run organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Councilmember Wanika Fisher, one of those millennials changing the council, says the funding battle reflects the perspective of newer members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c\u200aJust because someone’s gotten money for the last 10 years doesn’t mean that you’re just guaranteed,\u201d Fisher explains. She\u2019s running <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/dc-md-va\/2025\/06\/16\/tara-jackson-prince-georges-state-attorney\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">for state\u2019s attorney<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in 2026. \u201c\u200aI think we’re always trying to strive for equity, but equity is always about your perspective.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Burroughs works to restore funding, some nonprofit leaders say the damage has been done. Their trust in the federal and now local government has been shaken. They\u2019re hoping the council will put their differences aside and set clear guidelines for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n","paginatedContent":[],"excerpt":"<p> Local organizations in Prince George are experiencing whiplash as council members battle over funding decisions.<\/p>\n","permalink":"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/07\/22\/prince-georges-county-nonprofits-want-lawmakers-to-stop-playing-politics-with-funding\/","currentSlug":"prince-georges-county-nonprofits-want-lawmakers-to-stop-playing-politics-with-funding","created":"2025-07-22T08:45:08","modified":"2025-07-25T11:23:06","time":"Jul 22","timestamp":1753173908,"timestampGMT":1753188308,"imageData":{"caption":"<p>Salwa Tagouri, \u200afounder and CEO of ISeeYou Foundation in Landover, Maryland packing food and hygiene bags for families in need.

federal funding","content":"<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Congress voted last week to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/07\/18\/nx-s1-5469912\/npr-congress-rescission-funding-trump\">rescind more than a billion dollars<\/a> in direct funding for PBS and NPR, eliminating money distributed by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to public radio and television stations nationwide. For WAMU, the cuts represent a loss of approximately $1.5 million annually, which accounts for roughly 4 to 5 percent of the station’s operating budget.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">WAMU General Manager Erika Pulley-Hayes said the station has been anticipating these cuts and preparing for them throughout the year. “We are not caught flat-footed, we have seen this coming and have been planning and preparing for it,” she explained to <em>Morning Edition<\/em> host Esther Ciammachilli.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Pulley-Hayes emphasized that WAMU has operated as a fixture in Washington D.C. for 64 years and will continue its mission of serving the community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">The station has already seen an uptick in listener donations since news of the federal funding cuts broke on Friday. Pulley-Hayes noted that listeners have been “showing up with their support.” However, she acknowledged that it will take time to fully understand the long-term impact of the funding loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">WAMU may weather the cuts relatively well in comparison to smaller stations that face different challenges. Rural and underserved communities, including some Native American stations and those licensed to historically Black colleges and universities, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/07\/20\/nx-s1-5469908\/trump-npr-public-community-radio-corporation-broadcasting-federal-funding-cuts\">rely more heavily on federal funding<\/a> and “make up a significant portion of the public radio system,” Pulley-Hayes explained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">The funding cuts also raise questions about WAMU’s nationally syndicated show <a href=\"https:\/\/the1a.org\/\">1A<\/a>, which is distributed to approximately 450 public radio stations around the country. WAMU is working with NPR to mitigate the immediate impact on stations that carry the program, but Pulley-Hayes acknowledged that many details remain unclear as the situation continues to develop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">For now, WAMU has not announced any immediate changes to programming or staffing.\u00a0 The station’s leadership says it’s currently in a good position to weather this challenge while working to determine what adjustments may be needed in the future.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: Under WAMU’s protocol for reporting on itself, no member of WAMU’s executive team reviewed this story before it was published or broadcast.<\/em><\/p>\n","paginatedContent":[],"excerpt":"<p>As hundreds of public radio and television stations brace for federal funding cuts, WAMU’s leadership says the station has operated as a fixture in Washington D.C. for 64 years and will continue its mission of serving the community.<\/p>\n","permalink":"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/07\/21\/wamu-says-its-prepared-to-weather-the-loss-of-federal-funding\/","currentSlug":"wamu-says-its-prepared-to-weather-the-loss-of-federal-funding","created":"2025-07-21T16:06:44","modified":"2025-07-21T16:06:44","time":"Jul 21","timestamp":1753114004,"timestampGMT":1753128404,"imageData":{"caption":"<p>For 64 years, WAMU has broadcast to news and culture to residents from the DMV to across the globe.

Week Ahead: Arlington and Alexandria\u2019s missing middle, Prince George\u2019s County nonprofit issues, Metro\u2019s Better Bus Network","content":"<p>Here are a few of the stories WAMU will be highlighting in the days ahead:<\/p>\n<p>There have been several legal turns in the missing middle cases in Arlington and Alexandria in the last several weeks, and WAMU is planning a deep dive on where things stand.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/21\/11\/23\/here-is-what-arlington-countys-middle-housing-study-means\/\">The \u201cmissing middle\u201d<\/a> refers to the lack of multi-family housing – like duplexes, triplexes, etc. – in Arlington and Alexandria and how housing tends to be single family homes or large apartment complexes with not much in the middle range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2023, voters in Arlington and Alexandria voted on similar, yet different proposals to restructure how some land is zoned for residential use in their communities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/24\/07\/17\/arlington-debates-missing-middle-again-this-time-in-court\/\">Homeowners sued<\/a> shortly after new laws were passed, arguing the housing changes would ruin their neighborhoods (and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arlingtonmagazine.com\/homebuilding-costs-arlington-va\/\">ever-rising value<\/a> of their single-family homes).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A judge ruled in favor of the Arlington homeowners in 2024. However, an appeals court <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arlnow.com\/2025\/06\/25\/breaking-appeals-court-puts-missing-middle-back-on-the-books-in-arlington\/\">ordered last month<\/a> for the case to be reheard in the lower court because a developer building missing middle housing in the county was not allowed to be a part of the defense arguments. But the court <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arlnow.com\/2025\/07\/10\/appeals-court-flip-flops-on-missing-middle-striking-down-ordinance-once-again\/\">later reversed<\/a> its own decision earlier in July.<\/p>\n<p>There is a similar case working its way through the courts in Alexandria. As WAMU’s Northern Virginia reporter Margaret Barthel notes, “While these are different suits, they ask similar questions about whether the local government followed the correct process for ending single family only zoning. And so what the Court of Appeals thinks about where parties like developers with financial interests in the land fit into these debates could potentially have relevance beyond Arlington.”<\/p>\n<p>In Maryland, reporter Jenny Abamu will be looking into a similarly confused turnaround regarding Prince George’s County funding for nonprofit organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, the county’s new chair <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Edward Burroughs cut $2 million in current funding for nonprofits from the budget. He argued the money was too heavily weighted in certain districts and needs to be more equitably distributed.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one person dies every 11 minutes of suicide, and males account for roughly 80% of all youth suicide deaths.<\/p>\n<p>Betsy says she hopes the book will inspire conversations about mental health, grief resilience, and creating a path toward healing.<\/p>\n<p><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">If you or\u00a0<\/i><span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\"><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">anyone<\/i><\/span><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">\u00a0you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide or need emotional support, please call or text the National Suicide Hotline at 988 for free confidential care 24\/7.<\/i><\/p>\n","paginatedContent":[],"excerpt":"<p>Betsy Thibaut Stephenson’s son Charlie died by suicide in 2022.

So, she and two other Capital vets, Karen Lange and Tracey Erbacher, joined forces to make sure the city continues to have a fringe festival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe realized that if there was not a fringe in D.C., we would be losing on the next generation of artists,\u201d says O\u2019Connor.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the condensed origin story of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.districtfringe.com\/\">District Fringe<\/a>, a new festival dedicated to local independent theater. The festival kicked off earlier this month with a line-up of ticketed and free performances that include genres such as comedy, musical, drama, and cabaret.<\/p>\n<p>UDC\u2019s campus <a href=\"https:\/\/www.districtfringe.com\/getting-here\">acts as the main venue<\/a> for the festival with ticketed shows scheduled inside of one of its lecture halls and free shows at its amphitheater.<\/p>\n<p>Festival goers can also catch a <a href=\"https:\/\/districtfringe.ssboxoffice.com\/events\/matt-lily-get-together\/\">comedy show<\/a> at the Van Ness Main Street office – turned District Fringe\u2019s box office\/bar during the final weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Johanna Beduhn was among festival goers on the Sunday of opening weekend. Having access to platforms like District Fringe is important, Beduhn said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just live a few blocks away, so this is a really great opportunity for me,\u201d said Beduhn. \u201cBut I also really like knowing that there’s an opportunity for creatives to be able to share their talent and their ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Folks looking to catch District Fringe\u2019s offerings have several options to choose from through July 27.<\/p>\n<p>Hope Campbell Gundlah\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/districtfringe.ssboxoffice.com\/events\/the-h-twins\/\">\u201cThe H Twins\u201d<\/a> is among the plays with scheduled performances.<\/p>\n<p>It stars Hope and her twin sister Tess Cameron Gundlah as two sisters at a children\u2019s home in 1940s Germany. The two girls dream of stardom as a doctor studies them for their racial adequacy.<\/p>\n<p>The two girls are led to believe they\u2019re the ideal, but things eventually take a turn and they come face to face with the gruesome reality behind ideas of racial supremacy.<\/p>\n<p>Hope Campbell said she began writing the play late last year and District Fringe is its first full production of the play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt’s just incredible to have an opportunity where you get to actually showcase your work\u2026and have people start to know who you are as an artist,\u201d said Hope.<\/p>\n","paginatedContent":[],"excerpt":"<p>Dedicated to local, independent theater – the festival kicked off earlier this month with a line-up of ticketed and free performances that include

Council colleagues shortly after <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/07\/15\/trayon-white-is-projected-to-win-ward-8-d-c-council-seat-back-after-expulsion\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">winning back his Ward 8 seat<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe’re here to stay,\u201d White declared amid a crowd of supporters in Congress Heights. \u201cIf they’re not on the same page as the residents of Ward 8, we’re gonna work to get them out of there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For some on the council, the feeling is mutual.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lawmakers made history by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/04\/03\/dc-voices-of-wards-7-and-8-trayon-white-council\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">expelling White<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> from the council back in February. At the time, they argued\u00a0 the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/24\/08\/19\/fbi-arrests-dc-ward-8-councilmember-trayon-white\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">federal bribery charges<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> against him violated the body\u2019s ethics rules, and were so serious that they couldn\u2019t afford to wait until his trial next year to remove him from office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ever since White declared he\u2019d run in the special election called in the wake of his ouster, both publicly and privately lawmakers have been discussing the idea of expelling him again. With White officially headed back to the Wilson Building after his narrow win last week, those conversations will only intensify.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Former Ward 8 Councilmember LaRuby May, who White defeated back in 2016, expects the council to seriously consider the move in order to stave off threats of additional interference by Republicans in Congress. After all, the GOP used former Mayor Marion Barry\u2019s scandals against the District for years, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.governing.com\/archive\/marion-yarrys-v-congress.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">pointing to his missteps<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as a reason the city doesn\u2019t deserve full self-governance. (Barry just so happens to be White\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/washingtoncitypaper.com\/article\/187233\/the-education-of-trayon-white-dcs-youngest-councilmember\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">political mentor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMaking sure that we’re able to, as a District, as a municipality, show our ability to have good governance is going to be a responsibility of the other legislators in the district,\u201d May said. \u201cThe decisions they’re making, they’re being intentional about the greater impact on the District and not the specific impact on Ward 8.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And there\u2019s the matter of how it would look to D.C. residents if lawmakers allow a man accused of steering city contracts and enriching himself to rejoin the body. To council chair Phil Mendelson, a second expulsion is \u201cnot punishment,\u201d but rather a matter of \u201cwhether we want to be perceived as ethical,\u201d he said at a meeting earlier this month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mendelson even <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/dc-md-va\/2025\/07\/01\/dc-council-trayon-white-rule\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">introduced a change in council rules<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> meant to speed up a potential second expulsion. But he ultimately backed off amid complaints it could unduly influence the special election.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That reversal also speaks to the fear among some lawmakers about meddling with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/07\/16\/voices-of-wards-7-and-8-trayon-white-reelected\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">desires of residents<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> who have historically been overlooked. Troy Prestwood, the head of the Ward 8 Democrats, thinks a second expulsion would only compound the damage done by the first. (Prestwood is also a member of WAMU’s volunteer <a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/community-council\/\">Community Council)<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhat we don’t need is your ill-advised answer to a problem you created back in February,\u201d Prestwood said. \u201cIt is undemocratic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ward 5 Councilmember Zachary Parker similarly argues the results of the election should stand. He\u2019s been perhaps the most forceful voice on the council against a second expulsion, arguing in a heated July 1 meeting that the council would set a double standard if it sought to punish a Black councilmember with ethics issues while former Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans (who is white) has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/washingtoncitypaper.com\/article\/661092\/jack-evans-may-not-be-running-in-2024-but-he-has-scored-prominent-government-positions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">won back city positions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> after resigning amid his <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/washingtoncitypaper.com\/article\/176935\/here-lies-jack-evans-political-career\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">own scandal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI think it would be a distraction, given our current climate, to be debating whether or not he should be on council versus advocating and investing in Ward 8 residents,\u201d Parker WAMU\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/05\/23\/the-politics-hour-remembering-virginia-rep-gerry-connolly-and-d-c-prepares-for-a-military-parade\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Politics Hour<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">with Kojo Nnamdi<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in May.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As ever, there\u2019s politics at play here: Parker is up for re-election next year, and his ward is home to many Black voters who sympathize with Ward 8\u2019s history of disinvestment, or even support White himself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When White ran for mayor in 2022, he performed best in wards 5, 7 and 8, which have long forged political alliances owing to their large populations of poor Black residents. In speaking to reporters on election night, White specifically called out his desire to work with Ward 7 Councilmember Wendell Felder, who has also raised concerns about the council\u2019s moves toward a second expulsion. (Felder was also the only councilmember who swung by to congratulate White at his election victory party, though he stressed he was visiting all the Ward 8 candidates and not expressing a preference for any of them.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other lawmakers running citywide have similar considerations, as they\u2019re not eager to antagonize White\u2019s base of supporters or, worse, disenfranchise the ward\u2019s residents. There\u2019s At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, for instance, who is up for re-election next year and has built his base in the east of the river communities where White remains popular. Similarly, At-Large Councilmember Robert White is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/05\/13\/dc-mayor-muriel-bowser-reelection-challenger-robert-white\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">mulling a bid for mayor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> next year, and he can\u2019t afford to lose potential voters in these wards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stuart Anderson, a longtime Ward 8 activist, did not support Trayon White in the election. But he understands why lawmakers don\u2019t want to go against the will of voters. The council\u2019s recent actions to reverse or amend ballot initiatives that passed by wide margins, like ending the tipped minimum wage, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/05\/07\/bowsers-proposal-to-repeal-initiative-82-tees-up-another-battle-over-d-c-s-tipped-minimum-wage\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hang over all of this debate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe keep seeing ourselves in a situation where we are at odds with the general rule of the people who voted,\u201d Anderson said, observing that Ward 8 has now voted for White twice after his arrest. \u201cOut of those who voted, they didn’t blindly vote. They knew that he was facing criminal charges and they voted for him anyway.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some politicians in whiter, wealthier wards are considering precisely the opposite political calculus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They may not want to denigrate Ward 8\u2019s residents, but they also have to answer to highly engaged voters troubled by the perception of corruption on the council.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For instance, Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen, who\u2019s also up for re-election next year, has been one of the council\u2019s foremost proponents of expelling White again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI’m not aware of the facts changing that led to his expulsion, I’m not aware of the facts or the circumstances changing since we took that vote,\u201d Allen said on WAMU\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/06\/20\/the-politics-hour-democratic-nominee-for-virginia-lieutenant-governor-ghazala-hashmi-on-her-primary-win\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Politics Hour with Kojo Nnamdi<\/span><\/i><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">in June. He added the council should \u201cabsolutely\u201d consider a second expulsion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ward 2 Councilmember Brooke Pinto gave essentially the same answer in her own appearance on the show later that month; Ward 3 Councilmember Matt Frumin, who faces reelection next year in a ward that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/archive\/local\/1994\/09\/28\/olive-branch-in-hand-barry-ventures-to-ward-3\/5aced63d-e442-41a7-9a88-9a65b6da4d3e\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">repeatedly voted against Barry<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> over his scandals, would only say that the council will face \u201ca very difficult discussion\u201d when White rejoins the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But lawmakers may be hesitant to move forward without an overwhelming majority of support on the council. The body\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lims.dccouncil.gov\/downloads\/LIMS\/56802\/Introduction\/PR26-0001-Introduction.pdf?Id=203544\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">rules<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> require a five-sixth majority vote to expel a member, meaning 11 of the 13 councilmembers would need to vote against White to kick him out once again. Assuming that White would vote in his own favor, just one other lawmaker unwilling to vote for expulsion would derail the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cPeople are allowed to have second chances in life,\u201d Ward 1 Councilmember Brianne Nadeau said at the council\u2019s July 1 meeting, observing that the city has a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/washingtoncitypaper.com\/article\/614737\/harry-thomas-jr-was-elected-as-chair-of-the-ward-5-dems-opponents-couldnt-find-anyone-to-run-against-him\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">long history<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/magazine\/story\/2014\/11\/marion-barry-anatomy-of-a-comeback-or-a-few-113127\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">redeeming elected officials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> convicted of crimes. \u201cDo they get a second chance with our code of conduct? I don’t know. It’s a higher bar for elected officials. We’re supposed to be held to a higher standard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The council has another option: simply wait to act until White\u2019s bribery trial begins in January. If he\u2019s convicted or pleads guilty, the law bars him from serving in office. Lawmakers could even sideline him until then, such as by keeping him from serving on committees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMarion Barry said there’s no permanent enemies, only permanent interests,\u201d White said on election night, declining to address the prospect he\u2019d be expelled again. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to figure out what we agree upon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No matter what happens, some in Ward 8 fear their communities will continue to be underserved. Either White will be so busy fighting his council colleagues and preparing for his trial he won\u2019t be able to help his constituents, or he\u2019ll be expelled again and the seat will be vacant once more as this all plays out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oye Owolewa, a resident of the ward and the city\u2019s elected shadow representative, says this will only compound the problems created by the absence of a Ward 8 councilmember these last few months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cYou’re seeing a lot of things kind of fall between the cracks,\u201d Owolewa said. \u201cWe don’t have a ward councilmember or constituent services team to bring those issues to.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The seat will remain open until White is sworn in.

More than 80,000 spectators are expected to see elite players like Naomi Osaka, Taylor Fritz, Venus Williams, and Maryland native <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/show\/frances-tiafoe-shares-rollercoaster-journey-to-becoming-one-of-tenniss-top-players\">Frances Tiafoe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"453\" data-end=\"1032\">First founded in 1969 as the Washington Star International, the event was the brainchild of tennis legend and civil rights icon Arthur Ashe. \u201cArthur Ashe envisioned a tournament that would be inclusive and accessible to all in Washington, D.C.,\u201d said Candace Smith, CEO of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wtef.org\/\">Washington Tennis and Education Foundation<\/a> (WTEF). \u201cIt was really important for him to have the tournament in the city, (in an integrated neighborhood), where folks could access it and be able to see world-class tennis without having to travel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1034\" data-end=\"1507\">WTEF has been a cornerstone of the tournament since its early days. This year, as the nonprofit celebrates its 70th anniversary, the organization remains the primary charitable partner of the Mubadala Citi DC Open. Smith says the partnership opens doors for local youth in powerful ways. \u201cOur kids are able to meet professionals, take part in clinics, coin tosses, even the trophy presentations,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1509\" data-end=\"1864\">The foundation\u2019s programs, which serve students ages 2 to 18 across the District, combine tennis training with academic support and life skills development\u2014all offered at no cost. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about building athletes. It\u2019s about building confidence, discipline, and opportunity,\u201d Smith explained.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1866\" data-end=\"2209\">Fans attending the tournament this year can get remarkably close to the action, especially during early-round matches. \u201cPeople might not realize this isn\u2019t like watching Wimbledon on TV,\u201d Smith noted. \u201cYou can literally be a few feet from a top-ranked player like Amanda Anisimova or Frances Tiafoe. It\u2019s an incredibly intimate and exciting experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2211\" data-end=\"2552\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">And if you\u2019re hoping to score a last-minute seat?

I did vote for myself and my grandmother, she couldn’t come out today. Tray has done amazing community work – in addition to my grandma, when I had no one else to help me in the city with having infestations, he put me in the right direction. My grandmother\u2019s apartment caught on fire; the leasing office would not extend her hotel stay. He was able to extend her stay a little bit after COVID. There’s numerous things I can think of that Trayon has done for my grandmother and myself, and I’m her caregiver. So, I am here standing with him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What do you think is needed for the future of Ward 8 and its politics going forward after today’s election?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I think Ward 8 needs a good man like Trayon White. Someone who is standing with the city. In politics we must get back to people who are heartfelt. We see so many politicians who are out here saying they’re doing the groundwork and the footwork. A lot of times it’s just for themselves, an entitlement. With Trayon, you don’t get that. He’s doing it for the people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It seems like the Council is considering a measure that would potentially lead him to be expelled again. How would you feel if that council were to make that decision to expel him a second time, if he was?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I would cry, I\u2019d feel devastated. Reason being is because where’s the humanity in this? I get that it\u2019s a commitment, and there are certain rules you absolutely must be responsible for. However, the humanity of this, I think…everyone in this seat has had to touch a testing moment, right? He deserves to stay. Ward 8 needs him. I haven’t seen anyone else that could do it like him, honestly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What\u2019s needed from politicians in Ward 8?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Number one, address the violence, there\u2019s a high rate of it with the youth. I\u2019d say information, of course. Doing the footwork like Trayon, I need to see you out here. I’m 27 years old; there’s not many people who’s coming out here to do things like this. I see him out here doing the footwork; it makes you want to connect.

I mentioned I am a new homeowner and literally from day one, I’ve just always seen him active on the streets. He’s always been an advocate for the residents of Ward 8, providing resources. I’ve always seen Salim on different apps, calling for city assistance for cars, trash, or things like that. This was prior to any election. He’s also coordinated a community cleanup with my HOA. I believe in his support and believe he’ll be a strong advocate for the Ward.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What do you think lies ahead for the political future of Ward 8?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To be honest, I don’t know. I’m not that politically involved, to be honest with you. I’m only kind of on the surface following what’s going on. I’m disappointed that others couldn’t just kind of step away and allow some new leadership to step in and take the role. We’ll see what happens.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Just to confirm, are you talking about Trayon White?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Yes.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It’s possible the Council might also seek to re-expel him. How would you feel if the council took that decision?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I don’t know. I wouldn’t want to see all the back and forth if he does win, and I know he is popular. I just hope that he will be more active and maybe show a transition and change for the residents. I’m going to be very honest, I personally only see him when there’s cameras and when there is something like an election that’s happening. I just hope that if he does win back the seat, I do see him rolling up his sleeves more, hitting the ground running, and really being an active and transparent member of the community.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What would you say needs to be addressed in the Ward 8 community?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Certainly crime, I think there’s an effort to help clean up the streets and just make it a safer community. Certainly, more could be done. From a littering perspective, there’s a lack of focus on our area in terms of waste management and trash pickup. There’s a lot of abandoned homes, it seems like people come to our area to dump, which I know has been a problem historically. I hope there’s an additional effort made in bringing more retail and economy over on this side. It’s a food desert as we know, so I\u2019m hoping that there\u2019s a continuing focus on building those resources up for the community and just continuing to see it thrive and grow. I do see the evolution and the change. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I attended Howard University in the 90s.

Bascom shared that he voted for Trayon White.<\/span> <span class=\"credits photo-credit\">Dee Dwyer \/ WAMU<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em><strong>Damian Bascom, 43, Ward 8<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I live and reside in Ward 8. I also have a small business that I operate in this area called Bascom Enterprises. We have a cooking oil recycling division, a waste management division, and a landscaping division. We also teach cooperative economics and help to start cooperative businesses. I’m also a yoga instructor under Beautify D.C.; we provide extensive healing through the environment and grounding activities in places that traditionally don’t have it such as group homes and transitional facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Who did you vote for and why?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I voted for Trayon White. In this day and time, with all the media controversy that’s going on, I think this individual represents something that all Black people are struggling with or have had to deal with. The negative perceptions that are created in our community have caused a lot of conflict and have broken our community. Our ancestors, they didn’t fight for us to have the voting right so we could be able to display oppressive activities. The way it’s been going on has been a serious impact on Ward 8. It shouldn’t be! We should be looking at how we can stabilize Ward 8. With this special election, it\u2019s destabilized the Ward – and so in the name of my ancestors, I voted for the person that Ward 8 already had put in position and has been in position here doing work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What\u2019s needed for the future of Ward 8 politics going forward?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We need more focus on healing. I think for so long, Ward 8 is a majority Black community that\u2019s been\u00a0displaced. They’ve been getting displaced because they’ve been in very vulnerable places. If a person doesn’t heal that vulnerability or have a space that they can have a safe space that it can create, they’re going to get displaced. They’re going to be consistently oppressed, and that’s what we’ve been seeing here in Ward 8. That’s what I’ve been saying since I moved here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How do you feel about the Council expelling Trayon White in the past?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I think that right there, it cost our city half a million dollars. You know what I’m saying? That impact and decision that the Council took without being tried and justified through a jury in the court of law and justice in proving guilty, I think, was a very destructive thing to do. And that’s why I voted for him, because he’s not guilty by charge. We got a president in the country right now, literally, that is guilty by charge, but he’s running the United States of America. I think we’re now using the same standards that other people in higher positions use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Earlier when you were talking about the impact that the process and the way this was handled had on the Ward…could you maybe spell out\u00a0some examples of how that impact has been seen? Or is it more of a mental thing?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It’s a mental thing. I think from a place of class or even power, the same negative things that have been raised against our City Councilmember Trayon White, the same similar things haven\u2019t been raised to other people. They didn’t take them through the same level of tearing down or destroying their name in public. They allow those people to go through the right judicial process, then if they needed to expel them, they expelled them at those times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I\u2019m not racist, I look at it as a white person versus a Black person, right\u2026this would not have happened. They would not have treated this person the same way. We can use today as an example, the United States president, they’re not treating him the same. You know what I mean? So, I think we should treat everybody equal. I don’t think he’s been treated equally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For whoever becomes the City Councilmember of Ward 8, if Trayon White wins, I think he should work with the other people that’s out here running. I had a conversation with him, and he shared that he can’t do this by himself. He knows he can\u2019t do this by himself. He wants to connect with other people. But it’s hard, because so many people be having so much to say, I think that’s a critical time and place where we at. I think we should take that as a lead to heal. Through healing, we have to take time to heal relationships that may have somehow been distorted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7074553\" style=\"width: 1509px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7074553 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/portrait-2votes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1509\" height=\"1260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/portrait-2votes-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/portrait-2votes-1024x855.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/portrait-2votes-1500x1252.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/portrait-2votes-900x751.jpg 900w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/portrait-2votes-600x501.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1509px) 100vw, 1509px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text caption\"><span>Ward 8 resident Gregory English, 71, at the Turner Elementary voting site.<\/span> <span class=\"credits photo-credit\">Dee Dwyer \/ WAMU<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em><strong>Gregory English, 71, Ward 8<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I voted for Trayon White,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I\u2019ve seen him represent himself here, not only at election days, but on Martin Luther King Avenue.

The service is considered by advocates to be an essential mental health lifeline for queer youth and adults across the country. The hotline saw an unprecedented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/politics\/lgbtq-youth-calls-to-mental-health-crisis-line-spiked-by-700-percent-after-election-day\">700% spike in calls<\/a> following President Trump\u2019s re-election in November, according to the Trevor Project.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"207\" data-end=\"729\">Advocates fear the consequences of ending this dedicated support could be devastating, as LGBTQ+ individuals are already facing heightened feelings of anxiety and isolation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"1248\">Dr. Matt Salmon, director of psychiatry at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitman-walker.org\/\">Whitman-Walker Medical Clinic<\/a> in D.C., has witnessed that toll firsthand. \u201cSince the election, we\u2019ve seen a steady progression of people declining in their mental health,\u201d he explained to WAMU’s Natalie Yuravlivker. \u201cWhat began as fear of what might happen has become fear of what <em data-start=\"1026\" data-end=\"1030\">is<\/em> happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"1248\">According to Salmon, some of his more resourced clients have even left the country, fearing the erosion of rights and protections. Others, unable to leave, are increasingly overwhelmed by hopelessness.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1827\">Many of those patients, Salmon noted, are coming to Whitman-Walker in crisis – some experiencing suicidal thoughts, others seeking hospitalization. \u201cThe scariest part is that suicide can start to feel like the one thing people can control,\u201d he says, emphasizing how uncertainty and isolation are fueling a mental health crisis.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1827\">The loss of the LGBTQ+-specific hotline, he believes, will only compound those feelings. \u201cThis isn\u2019t just about answering phones\u2014it\u2019s about cultural and emotional literacy in crisis situations. That\u2019s what makes a difference between life and death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1829\" data-end=\"2340\">For Salmon, this work is personal. A queer psychiatrist raised in a conservative Mormon household, he said he knows the emotional trauma of growing up in an environment that rejects your identity. \u201cMy dad was a Republican congressman,\u201d he shared. \u201cI\u2019ve lived through that rejection, and I use that lived experience to help others find their way through it too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2342\" data-end=\"2820\">In response to the hotline ending, local organizations like Whitman-Walker and Capital Pride Alliance are stepping up, though resources remain limited. \u201cAt Whitman-Walker, we offer same-day crisis appointments and phone support for existing clients,\u201d said Salmon. \u201cAnd we\u2019re open to new clients, but we simply don\u2019t have the funding to operate 24\/7.\u201d He added that other agencies need to explore similar stopgap measures, but acknowledges this will not fully replace what\u2019s being lost.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2822\" data-end=\"3132\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">For now, those in crisis can still call the National Suicide Hotline at 988. But advocates argue for many LGBTQ+ individuals, a key piece of their support system ends this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","paginatedContent":[],"excerpt":"<p>A specialized LGBTQ+ suicide hotline ends this week.

Each week, 2.8 million listeners across the country tuned in to the program, which grew from a small local morning call-in show on Washington\u2019s WAMU 88.5 to one of public broadcasting\u2019s most-listened-to programs. In Fall 2015 and Spring 2016, the show placed among the top ten most powerful public radio programs, based on its ability to draw listeners to public radio stations. It was the only live call-in talk show on the list. The final live Diane Rehm Show was broadcast on December 23, 2016. Diane Rehm\u2019s podcast began in January 2017.\r\n<p class=\"p1\">[wamu_story_appeal preset=\"wamu\"]<\/p>","post_title":"Diane Rehm: On My Mind","post_excerpt":"Diane Rehm\u2019s weekly podcast features newsmakers, writers, artists and thinkers on the issues she cares about most: what\u2019s going on in Washington, ideas that inform, and the latest on living well as we live longer.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"diane-rehm-on-my-mind","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-29 13:35:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-29 17:35:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/wamu.org\/?post_type=wamu_show&p=927133","menu_order":0,"post_type":"wamu_show","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5189855,"post_author":"24","post_date":"2019-08-21 13:11:28","post_date_gmt":"2019-08-21 17:11:28","post_content":"The Washington, D.C. region is home to a diverse dining scene \u2014 everything from shared platters of Ethiopian food to the late-night jumbo slice.

It was the deadliest U.S. aviation accident in decades.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the biggest revelations from the National Transportation Safety Board hearing.<\/p>\n<h3>The Army helicopter’s altimeter may have been wrong \u2014 and that wasn’t unusual<\/h3>\n<p>On the night of Jan. 29, the three-person crew aboard the Black Hawk was flying a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/02\/01\/nx-s1-5283318\/dc-plane-crash-investigation-helicopter-crew-vision-ntsb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">training mission<\/a> near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) in Arlington, Va., heading south along the Potomac River. Meanwhile, the PSA Airlines flight out of Wichita, Kan., with two pilots, two flight attendants and 60 passengers was approaching the airport for landing.<\/p>\n<p>The two aircraft collided at about 8:48 p.m. ET, falling into the frigid river below.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators say the collision occurred at an altitude of 278 feet \u2014 even though the Army helicopter shouldn’t have been flying above 200 feet on that portion of the route. NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy has previously said the Black Hawk pilots might not have been aware of how high they were because their barometric altimeter may have been displaying the wrong altitude.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/7643x5095+0+0\/resize\/1680\/quality\/84\/format\/jpeg\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F89%2F5a%2F5bb9310f4ddab5fffc8cfa694435%2Fap25211551914552.jpg\" alt=\"Family members of the victims of American Airlines flight 5342 listen to opening statements during the National Transportation Safety Board investigative hearing in Washington on Wednesday.\" \/><figcaption>Family members of the victims of American Airlines flight 5342 listen to opening statements during the National Transportation Safety Board investigative hearing in Washington on Wednesday. <cite> (Rod Lamkey | AP)<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And Army representatives said this week that it wasn’t unusual for barometric altimeters to be off by that much.<\/p>\n<p>“In my experience, a difference of 80 feet or so between the radar altitude and the barometric altitude would not be cause for alarm,” U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer Kylene Lewis told investigators.<\/p>\n<p>Radar altimeters measure the distance between an aircraft and the ground, while barometric altimeters use air pressure to estimate altitude.<\/p>\n<p>NTSB member J. Todd Inman pressed others from the Army and from Sikorsky Aircraft, which manufactures Black Hawk helicopters, about why the barometric altimeters used weren’t more accurate, especially since Army helicopters sometimes pass near civilian flights.<\/p>\n<p>“You just told me, I believe, all of the equipment in this manufacturing process is within the tolerances for safety. How much is that tolerance?” Inman asked. “I think it should be zero.”<\/p>\n<p>The military representatives said at the hearing that the Army is considering changes to the flight manual to let pilots know about discrepancies with altitude readings.<\/p>\n<h3>DCA air traffic controllers faced pressure to “make it work”<\/h3>\n<p>At the busy and complex airport outside Washington, D.C., with a high volume of traffic, investigators said air traffic controllers were expected to “make it work.” That sometimes included using an additional runway for arrivals, which occurred on the night of the accident.<\/p>\n<p>When asked by an NTSB investigator if “making it work” meant compromising safety, former DCA tower operations manager Clark Allen said: “You’re pushing the line.”<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/8192x5464+0+0\/resize\/1680\/quality\/84\/format\/jpeg\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F0b%2F07%2F92960edd4e58be24f961c2fff6d5%2Fgettyimages-2197594850.jpg\" alt=\"The air traffic control tower at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Virginia, is seen on February 3.\" \/><figcaption>The air traffic control tower at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Virginia, is seen on February 3. <cite> (Kayla Bartkowski | Getty Images North America)<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The FAA is contending with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/07\/17\/nx-s1-5453878\/air-traffic-controllers-sean-duffy-faa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">national shortage of air traffic controllers<\/a>. But Nick Fuller, the FAA’s acting deputy chief operating officer, said staffing at DCA was commensurate with other similarly sized facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Often at DCA tower, one controller would handle helicopter traffic while another would monitor fixed-wing aircraft. On the night of the accident, one controller was performing both of those roles, which FAA officials said was common at the airport.<\/p>\n<h3>FAA staff had warned about the helicopter route, but the agency didn’t act<\/h3>\n<p>Before the accident, FAA staff had raised concerns about the Army helicopter route’s proximity to commercial flights landing at the airport. The 12th Aviation Battalion’s Bravo Company, which operates out of Virginia’s Fort Belvoir, ran training missions in the area related to priority air transport and continuity-of-government operations.<\/p>\n<p>Allen, the former DCA tower operations manager, said a working group at the airport had considered the possibility of moving what was known as Route 4 or even eliminating part of it. “And both of those options we were told we were unable to do due to continuity of government operations or security,” Allen said.<\/p>\n<p>During the hearings, Homendy blasted the FAA for not acting on the safety concerns of its employees. “Are you kidding me? Sixty-seven people are dead! How do you explain that? Our bureaucratic process?” she said. “Fix it. Do better.”<\/p>\n<p>In March, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy permanently restricted nonessential helicopter operations around DCA and eliminated mixed traffic between helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, such as commercial jets. Both actions were recommended by the NTSB.<\/p>\n","paginatedContent":[],"excerpt":"<p>A three-day National Transportation Safety Board hearing on the deadliest U.S. aviation accident in decades dug into problems with altimeters, chopper routes and the busy Washington, D.C., airspace.<\/p>\n","permalink":"https:\/\/wamu.org\/story\/25\/08\/02\/3-big-takeaways-from-the-ntsb-hearing-on-the-dca-midair-collision\/","currentSlug":"3-big-takeaways-from-the-ntsb-hearing-on-the-dca-midair-collision","created":"2025-08-02T09:38:38","modified":"2025-08-02T09:38:38","time":"2 mins","timestamp":1754127518,"timestampGMT":1754141918,"imageData":{"caption":"","description":{"rendered":"<p class=\"attachment\"><a href='https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2227043184-scaled.jpeg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2227043184-300x200.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2227043184-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2227043184-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2227043184-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2227043184-1500x1000.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2227043184-900x600.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2227043184-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/wamu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gettyimages-2227043184-1600x1067.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON, DC – JULY 30: (L-R) Member of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) J.

The school is now subject to multiple federal investigations and inquiries into its handling of diversity in hiring decisions and antisemitism on campus.<\/p>\n<p>Republican President Donald Trump\u2019s administration believes that \u201crace and sex are motivating factors in faculty hiring and other employment decisions to achieve \u2018diversity\u2019 goals\u201d at the university, in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to a July 17\u00a0<a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/justice-department-launches-investigation-employment-practices-george-mason-university\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">announcement<\/a>\u00a0from the US Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>GMU\u2019s board, now composed entirely of Republican Gov.

Many rallied to support him by packing the board room past capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The nearly 5-hour-long meeting concluded with the board voting to give Washington a 1.5% raise; his contract remains in effect until June 30, 2027.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a fiduciary duty to the commonwealth and to George Mason University. We\u2019re going to fulfill our fiduciary duty, and George Mason University means everybody at the university,\u201d Rector Charles Stimson told press after the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Stimson did not respond to questions about Washington\u2019s future in the role, or whether school officials had spoken with Youngkin about the decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s display of unity by the Mason community is inspiring,\u201d Washington said in a statement. \u201cFor now, the community can refocus on what really matters most: in just three weeks, we will welcome the incoming class of 2025, which is once again the largest, most diverse and one of the most qualified freshman classes in the history of George Mason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the federal probes into the school are ongoing \u2014 and GMU\u2019s board also signaled some agreement with the federal government\u2019s critiques: On a unanimous vote, they approved a resolution pledging to \u201ccooperate fully\u201d with the federal investigations and mandating two university administration offices to end programs and trainings related to diversity and broad access to research.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution also directs the Office of Access, Compliance and Community \u2014 which formerly housed the university\u2019s DEI programs \u2014 to \u201celiminate all programs, trainings, processes not specifically required for federal or state law or University Policy compliance, and if necessary, eliminate staff positions\u201d within 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>Stimson said the board spent nearly two years discussing the issue before Friday\u2019s vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a variety of viewpoints, I get it. We all get it,\u201d Stimson said. \u201cEveryone\u2019s voice was heard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Washington, the school\u2019s first Black president, defended his 5-year record at the meeting\u2019s open session. He highlighted his work to advance GMU\u2019s annual rankings and double the amount of state funding secured since joining in 2020 \u2014 all while stewarding George Mason\u2019s community through the 2020 George Floyd protests, the pandemic, and more recent pro-Palestinian protests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not trivial,\u201d Washington said. \u201cThis is a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the board met in executive session for Washington\u2019s performance review, more than 150 faculty and students rallied outside to show their support for Washington\u2019s leadership as well as concerns over what they believe to be a \u201c<a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vpm.org\/news\/2025-07-31\/george-mason-university-board-washington-dei-trump-gibson-letiecq-manski\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">coordinated attack<\/a>\u201d to oust Washington and reshape the university\u2019s priorities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe support Gregory Washington!
