LANSING, Mich. – On Monday, Michigan health officials released a series of studies, which they have used to justify the decision to halt indoor dining, close entertainment venues and call a timeout on organized sports, as well as the 12-day extension. “This may be the most difficult time in our whole struggle with COVID-19 since March, especially with the holidays approaching,” Gov.

ANN ARBOR – University of Michigan alumnus Paul Milgrom was awarded this year’s Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. Milgrom, who graduated in 1970 with a bachelor’s in mathematics, was recognized with the prestigious international award for his work in improving auction formats. Using auction theory, the duo designed new auction formats for buying and selling nonphysical goods like radio frequencies. The moment Milgrom found out he won the Nobel Prize was captured on his home security system. Analyzing auction formats can be challenging because bidders make unilateral, calculated decisions based on the value of what they are bidding on.

OAK PARK, Mich. – Stanford University Professor Paul Milgrom didn’t know he had won a Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences because he was asleep. “My phones were all set up for Do Not Disturb...The co-winner, Bob (Robert) Wilson, is also my neighbor across the street. He came over at about 2 a.m. and was pounding on my door," said Milgrom, who graduated from Oak Park High School. Milgrom and Wilson, who is also a professor at Stanford University, won the Nobel Prize for improvements in auction theory. “Milgrom designed a general theory of auctions that takes into consideration common values of auction markets as well as private values, which vary from bidder to bidder,” read the release.

The two American economists, both professors at Stanford, won the Nobel Prize in Economics for improving how auctions work. For helping make auctions run more efficiently, two Americans on Monday won the Nobel prize for economics. You’ve won the Nobel Prize.’’ Awakened, Milgrom stammered for a moment and then said: “Wow.’’The two men tackled the tricky problem of making auctions work efficiently. Last week, the Nobel Committee awarded the prize for physiology and medicine for discovering the liver-ravaging hepatitis C virus. The prize for physics honored breakthroughs in understanding black holes, and the chemistry prize went to scientists behind a powerful gene-editing tool.

More and more campuses are sparking frustration by releasing plans to keep students' housing payments, even if the campuses shut down again and go entirely online in the fall. The University of South Florida and the University of Maryland have said they would not be obligated to refund students if COVID-19 prompts them to close residence halls. And Stanford University students have complained about having to move abruptly to make room for a quarantine area. The university reversed course the following week and said it would refund students living on its five physical campuses if public health officials ordered residential areas closed. Weiler said WSU wont refund students choosing to leave.

They say the Trump administrations repeated attempts to curb immigration have sent students a message that they arent welcome in the United States. Higher education in the United States is still seen as the gold standard around the globe, but access to it comes with all kinds of risks, Wilcox said. More than 200 colleges signed legal briefs supporting a federal lawsuit by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Colleges have also opposed Trump's recent suspension of new H-1B work visas, which many international students use to find work after graduation. It helped orchestrate colleges' recent legal campaign, and it says it's ready to stand up for international students again.
