'But we are dealing with a lot of data, which are not very clear. [Government] might be tempted to make a deal that will be to the detriment of the maintenance of the city.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Student success today is also very different. We are training students for more diverse industries, dynamic workplaces, and economies.

Excerpt from MarketWatch -- "I believe the real fire starter is the tobacco of our generation, social media, and the algorithms that have determined that the path to more engagement, clicks, and Nissan ads is paved in rage. The algorithms sense if you lean left or right, then begin shoving you to the poles and serving you increasingly provocative and extreme content you can’t turn away from, to scratch a tribal itch."

So, why not have employees simulate that? In this way, you save a bunch of money.'"
