UA Declines Compact Offer

The University of Arizona declined to take part in the Trump administration’s proposed higher-education compact in exchange for prioritized federal funding support.

School President Suresh Garimella said the university already shares many of the values in the compact, but “seeks no special treatment” and wants to compete “strictly on merit.”

The 10-point compact sets forth policies on limiting tuition hikes, anti-discrimination in admissions and hiring, a ban on men in women’s sports, and more.

Eight other universities in the nation were invited to join the compact, with seven having now declined. The University of Texas and Vanderbilt University have yet to decide.

13-Year-Old At Wheel in High-Speed Chase

A 13-year-old boy was arrested Monday after taking his mother’s Chevy Tahoe on a high-speed joyride through Gilbert, reaching speeds over 100 mph while evading police.

Police footage captured the chase, which involved dangerous maneuvers, running red lights, driving without headlights, and going airborne over uneven terrain.

The vehicle eventually crashed into a handicap railing. The teen fled on foot before being caught by officers. A passenger also escaped and was not found.

New-Look Suns Tip Off Season

The revamped Phoenix Suns will look to prove doubters wrong when they host the Sacramento Kings in the team’s NBA season opener tonight.

The Suns rank No. 25 in The Athletic’s NBA Power Rankings, reflecting tempered expectations following last year’s 36-46 record and the departures of Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal.

Team owner Mat Ishbia said success will be measured by building the right culture and organization—not just wins—as Phoenix navigates its reset.

With a roster featuring Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Ryan Dunn, and Mark Williams, Phoenix aims to develop chemistry under first-year coach Jordan Ott.

Can you believe prostate growth has nothing to do with your age or testosterone levels? Harvard researchers just revealed the real cause: a thick, chalky sludge that clogs your prostate like limestone in an old pipe.

This stuff wraps around your bladder and urethra, hardens over time, and forces your body to beg for relief with constant urges, weak dribbles, and keeping you awake at night. Fortunately, there’s a natural way to dissolve it. This can be dissolved naturally. In fact, a doctor from Kentucky proved it by creating a 15-second method that flushes the toxic gunk straight out of your system, shrinks your prostate, boosts your stream, and gives you back your freedom.
