Ole Miss Engineering Professor Working to Make U-turns Safer
SUMMARY: A professor at the University of Mississippi, Amir Mehrara Molan, is researching U-turns to enhance traffic safety through two projects. He received $239,900 from the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) for studying restricted crossing U-turns (RCUTs) and an additional $208,555 from North Carolina for analyzing U-turn crossover access points. RCUTs are designed to reduce crashes by limiting left turns, helping decrease fatality rates, particularly in rural areas. Molan’s research includes safety evaluations and updating best practices, providing valuable experience for graduate students involved in the project. The work aims to improve future intersection designs in Mississippi and beyond.

Bidenโs student loan cancellation free to move forward as court order expires
SUMMARY: A Georgia judge allowed President Biden‘s student loan cancellation plan to proceed, dismissing the lawsuit from Georgia and transferring the case to Missouri. This plan, held up since September by legal challenges from seven Republican-led states, aims to forgive debt for approximately 30 million borrowers. The ruling enables the Education Department to finalize the cancellation process, potentially as soon as Friday. Missouri’s lawsuit claims that the cancellation will harm its student loan servicer, MOHELA, by affecting its revenue. Republican states argue the Department circumvented necessary waiting periods for implementing new rules.
