University Scheduling Shift: At the University of Chicago, Social Sciences Core pre-registration for autumn 2026 will hide professors’ names, giving the College more flexibility to balance enrollments and discussion sections. Election Stakes: The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a Virginia Democrats appeal over congressional maps, preserving a likely Republican edge heading into midterms. Public Safety—Hospitals: An Illinois bill (HB4977) cleared the legislature to strengthen hospital infection prevention by tightening definitions and requiring stronger prevention and reporting for “pathogens of epidemiological concern.” Public Safety—Schools: Another measure (HB4247) advances to improve asthma emergency readiness in schools, expanding who can administer and train for emergency meds. Local Tensions: An Illinois lawmaker is calling for Aurora Mayor John Laesch’s resignation over alleged “ICE doxxing” posts. Health Watch: Illinois health officials flagged early 2026 West Nile-positive mosquito samples in Cook County, urging residents to cut standing water and protect against bites.
