| NU Voices | Read perspectives from Northwestern faculty in national media. |  From Geraldo Cadava, History News Network “Arizona’s GOP leaders — whose party controls the state government and makes up the bulk of Arizona’s congressional delegation — have failed to approach the immigration debate with civility. Who among them will answer the bipartisan call for civility now, and turn words into actions?” Weinberg’s Geraldo Cadava writes in History News Network. |  From Nancy Qian, The Korea Times “TikTok’s future in America is now uncertain. Before it weighs its next moves, the company should fire its lobbyists and consultants, who should have advised it to be more respectful of Americans’ legitimate concerns about data privacy and threats to democracy. And all other non-U.S. firms should learn from TikTok’s recent missteps on what not to do,” Kellogg’s Nancy Qian writes in The Korea Times. |
