Cassava Sciences Addresses Leaked Internal CUNY Report

Cassava Sciences, a biotechnology company focused on Alzheimer's disease, has responded to a leaked internal report from City University of New York (CUNY) that alleged research misconduct. The report found no evidence of data manipulation but cited internal record-keeping failures at CUNY. Cassava Sciences denies any involvement in CUNY's investigation and asserts confidence in the science behind their lead drug candidate, simufilam. The company's Phase 3 clinical program will continue. The leak of the report was preceded by a significant increase in short selling activity against Cassava Sciences.

Controversial commencement speeches spark outrage at CUNY.

The majority of CUNY Board of Trustees have remained silent over a law school graduate's "hate-filled" commencement speech, which has sparked widespread condemnation and calls for the public university to be stripped of its taxpayer funds. Only five of CUNY's 17 board members have publicly denounced the speech, with trustees chairman Bill Thompson and vice chair Sandra Wilkin calling the remarks "hate speech." The trustees who did condemn the speech agreed that guidelines must be put in place to prevent future speeches from descending into vitriolic chaos. Jewish activist Ronald Lauder has called for the law school dean to be fired after she was among the faculty on stage who applauded the graduate's speech.

Controversial CUNY Law commencement speech sparks calls to strip government funding.

Calls are growing for the City University of New York (CUNY) to lose its government funding after a pro-Palestine graduating student used her commencement speech to denigrate Israel, the NYPD, the US Armed Forces, and local politicians. Jewish groups are demanding to know why CUNY allowed such pro-Palestinian commentary at the commencement ceremony for a second year. CUNY is yet to denounce either speech. The annual cost of tuition at CUNY Law is $15,000, and the university receives $2.8 billion in government funding.
