Tougaloo College president Carmen Walters resigns from position
SUMMARY: Carmen Walters, president of Tougaloo College, has announced her resignation effective June 30. During her tenure, the college navigated the COVID-19 pandemic, improved its national ranking, invested $4 million in upgrading campus facilities, and grew its endowment from $14 million in 2019 to $31 million in 2023. However, Walters faced accusations from the Tougaloo Alumni Coalition of failing the college's staff and students, citing a 40-year low enrollment rate due to the pandemic.

SUMMARY: Lawrence Blair Corley IV, a 17-year-old from Mississippi's Gulf Coast, has been arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder after a fatal shootout during an attempted robbery. Corley, along with Temi Lawal and Lorenzo Stennis, allegedly tried to rob a home on May 13. The homeowner shot Lawal and Stennis, leading to their deaths; Lawal died on the scene, and Corley drove Stennis to a hospital where he later died. As Corley was part of the robbery that resulted in these fatalities, he faces capital murder charges, but the homeowner will not be charged for shooting the intruders.

SUMMARY: Chad Kelly, the reigning MVP of the Canadian Football League (CFL), has temporarily left the Toronto Argonauts' training camp after being suspended over sexual harassment allegations. The former Ole Miss quarterback is facing a nine-game suspension by the CFL after a female strength coach claimed she faced harassment and wrongful termination. While his legal team addresses the CFL investigation's findings, Kelly has chosen to focus on personal reflection and improvement, aiming to minimize team distractions as he prepares to earn reinstatement and trust. Meanwhile, to return to play, he must complete independent assessments and counseling sessions addressing gender-based violence.

SUMMARY: Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has enacted two bills supporting state downtown revitalization. Senate Bill 2696 establishes the Mississippi Main Street Revitalization Grant (MMSRG), while Senate Bill 3056 appropriates $6.972 million across 19 projects and provides $500,000 for the Mississippi Main Street Association (MMSA). This initiative will fund improvements in communities like Amory, Biloxi, and Vicksburg. Funding up to $500,000 per community is competitive, with application and eligibility requirements varying by population size. The MMSA, appreciative of legislative trust, encourages future community participation in this ongoing program.
