Air travel has become agony for many travelers: enduring endless lines, arguing about luggage with harried airline employees, running for flights because of security delays. The list goes on.
During the recent U.S. government shutdowns, lines often extended around and outside terminals, in scenes that still haunt travelers.
A U.S. District Court judge granted a temporary restraining order last week that blocks the U.S. Department of Education from unlawfully terminating congressionally approved school-based mental health grants.
The order in the case joined by the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) and a coalition of 14 state attorneys general came just days before the Department of Education would have begun terminating several grants designed to provide critical mental health services to Wisconsin public school students at the end of July. Terminating the grants would have resulted in the projected loss of $12.5 million to the University of Wisconsin and Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
Aliya Maly had her heart set on attending the University of Portland for a degree in elementary education — until she learned the price tag.
The university had offered on its website to help students cover tuition. But on a campus tour, Maly recalled learning the cost would be $20,000 more than she thought.
Her next choice was the University of Wisconsin-Madison, but she missed a deadline to accept admission. So Maly enrolled at Edgewood University, which offered a better financial aid package with a refund every semester.

Earlier this year, the Madison suburb of DeForest abruptly rejected a $12 billion, 1,600-acre data center amid mounting public opposition.
In doing so, the village of 12,000 also turned down wide-ranging public benefits that some experts say could be a model for what communities can demand from hyperscale data center projects.
Wisconsin Watch reported in January that DeForest and other communities around the state had, for months, secretly worked on proposals for billion-dollar data centers before informing the public.
Sam Dean is often spotted juggling while running on trails around town. He is chasing the title of world’s fastest known “joggler.”
Dean is a teacher at Madison Country Day School in Waunakee and a runner, who learned how to run and juggle when he was a member of the UW-Madison marching band, playing trumpet. The assistant director of bands at the time, Alexander Gonzalez, inspired Dean to try running and juggling at the same time.
