Delta State University officially introduced its ninth president on Thursday.

Dr. Daniel J. Ennis comes to Cleveland from Coastal Carolina University, where he most recently served as provost. While Ennis chose not to use the introductory ceremony to lay out any strategy, he did express his excitement for the opportunity.

“This is not the occasion to describe the things that I have been hired to do – to make data-driven decisions, to review policies and tweak procedures, to align resources with strategic goals,” Ennis said. “At a later time, after consultation with so very many stakeholders, I will tackle what is to be done, and explain how we will do it.”

Ennis, who has held a multitude of administrative positions with Coastal Carolina over the last two decades, has helped the South Carolina university with enrollment, retention, and fundraising – three sectors Delta State needs aid in.

SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump announced that he will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to find an approved U.S. buyer. This decision follows the removal of TikTok from app stores due to a federal law requiring ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations or face a ban, citing national security concerns. Trump’s order would delay the law’s restrictions, offering ByteDance more time to negotiate a sale. Despite challenges, including TikTok’s legal disputes, Trump emphasized the app’s potential value and the importance of keeping it operational in the U.S.

SUMMARY: Joe Biden’s presidency aimed to “restore the soul” of America post-Trump, but despite bipartisan legislative successes and international alliances, he struggled to change the political landscape. Four years after defeating Trump, Biden faced electoral defeat as Trump made a political comeback. Polls show only a quarter view Biden favorably, even lower than Trump during his presidency. Although Biden touted achievements in infrastructure and economic recovery, rising costs and inflation eroded public support. As he prepares to leave office, questions persist about his legacy and the permanence of the political shift towards populism, leaving Biden’s ambitions unfulfilled.
