- Francesca Gino is the first professor in Harvard University’s long history to lose her tenure. The former Harvard Business School professor built a reputation studying honesty and dishonesty, decision-making and ethics, workplace dynamics and productivity. She became one of the most prominent researchers in her field, and, at one point, was the fifth highest-paid Harvard employee. Then, in 2021, behavioral scientists behind the blog Data Colada accused Gino of research misconduct. After a years-long investigation, Harvard formally revoked her tenure in May 2025.
Gino is now suing Harvard, alleging discrimination and breach of contract. Harvard has countersued, alleging Gino defamed the university and sent investigators a falsified dataset.
Gino visited GBH News' studio in Boston for her first major media interview since losing her job. She spoke with GBH’s Kirk Carapezza about the allegations against her, the research that sparked the controversy, and wh...

When it emerged that he was the only Black person on the jury, the focus quickly shifted from his vote to his identity. The debate has become bigger than the case itself, raising difficult questions about race, mental illness, jury service, and whether dissent is judged differently depending on who delivers it. In a justice system with a long history of unequal treatment, is this scrutiny about the verdict, or about the man who refused to go along with the crowd?

He argues that young people are being asked to make life-shaping financial decisions within a higher education system built on debt, often before they can fully understand its complexities. While students should ask tough questions about loans and college costs, he believes schools, policymakers, and advocates have a greater responsibility to provide stronger protections, clearer information, and more affordable pathways to a degree.

- Student debt was supposed to be a bridge to opportunity. For millions of borrowers, it’s become a decades-long financial roommate that never moves out. As repayment rules shift again, the debate is no longer just about loans. It’s about who bears the cost of higher education, how debt shapes economic mobility, and why Black borrowers often face the steepest path to repayment.

- In a 2004 conversation on Basic Black, bell hooks reflected on the enduring challenges of love, arguing that genuine love does not shield people from pain but equips them to face it with greater resilience. Pushing back against popular ideas that love should erase life's difficulties, she emphasized self-affirmation, kindness, and generosity as essential practices for healing after heartbreak. Her insights offered a counterpoint to cynicism, suggesting that the path back to love begins with learning how to care for oneself.

- For years, Sarah and Duncan Remage-Healey talked with Sarah’s parents about what the future might look like as they aged. They were convinced her parents should move from their Cape Cod home before it became a necessity.
That idea became reality this past spring when a modular house arrived on two trucks from Pennsylvania and was dropped in their Waltham, Massachusetts backyard. Over a few hours, that home from Backyard ADUs was joined together. Then Sarah’s parents Rob and Nancy Haigh walked through their new 900 square foot home - an accessory dwelling unit, or ADU.
The project reflects one of the biggest changes to housing Massachusetts has made in decades - allowing ADUs to be built in every community in the state without a special permit. Since 2025, 2,084 accessory dwelling units have been approved, according to state data, with Lowell, Somerville and Plymouth leading the way.

- As states push forward with DEI rollbacks, a new debate is emerging: where does policy end and free speech begin? From student publications being shuttered to campus events facing heightened scrutiny, critics argue that efforts aimed at eliminating preferential treatment are increasingly colliding with First Amendment protections. What happens when initiatives meant to ensure fairness are accused of limiting expression, journalism, and cultural representation? The growing legal battles may help decide where that line is drawn.
