Menopause at work is an equity issue

Menopause often coincides with a critical phase in a woman's career, when experience, insight, and leadership potential are at their highest. But symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, hot flashes, and mood swings can disrupt work and energy levels. The issue isn't the symptoms, it's the silence surrounding them. Women are expected to "power through." Some do, but for many it turns into what is known as the midcareer cliff.

No question, antisemitism is real, resurgent and too often conflated with criticism of the Israeli government as it has destroyed Gaza to root out Hamas. But it beggars belief that the Trump administration is sincere when it demands UCLA pay the government more than $1 billion because, as it alleges, the school failed to protect Jewish students during pro-Palestinian protests in 2024, and engages in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices. This is extortion, pure and simple.
