Kosovo in political stalemate as parliament fails to elect speaker

Kosovo's parliament failed to elect a new speaker for the fourth time on Friday, prolonging a legislative crisis that has prevented efforts to form a new government more than two months after an inconclusive election. Under Kosovo's constitution, a parliamentary speaker must be voted in before the election winner can form a government, but without cross-party support that is proving difficult, and the stalemate has exposed deep divisions in Europe's newest state. In the February 9 parliamentary election, following an acrimonious campaign in which outgoing Prime Minister Albin Kurti called the opposition "animals" and "thieves", his Vetevendosje party came first but did not secure an outright majority.

Former college and university presidents: Higher education must do better, but politically driven government intervention is not the solution

The Trump administration should halt its destructive attack on higher education—and establish a constructive dialogue.

The article from Fortune, published on April 8, 2025, discusses the increasing politicization of higher education in the United States. It highlights how colleges and universities are becoming battlegrounds for political ideologies, with conservative and liberal groups clashing over issues such as curriculum content, free speech, and campus policies. The piece notes a rise in state-level interventions, with some legislatures attempting to influence what is taught in classrooms, particularly in subjects like history and social sciences. Additionally, the article points out the growing trend of donor influence, where significant financial contributions are used to sway educational institutions towards specific political viewpoints. The overall impact, according to the article, is a potential erosion of academic freedom and a challenge to the traditional role of universities as neutral grounds for learning and intellectual exploration.
