• The Huffington Post reported that USC alumnus and architect Frank Gehry has been named Judge Widney Professor of Architecture at the USC School of Architecture. Gehry, a Pritzker-winning architect who graduated from the school in 1965, said that he carries with him many life lessons learned at USC.

  The Huffington Post ran an op-ed by Elyn Saks of the USC Gould School about the stigma associated with mental illness. “People who wouldn’t dream of saying a racial or ethnic slur glibly talk about nut cakes, lunatics and crazies,” Saks wrote. “Perhaps they stigmatize the mentally ill because society always marginalizes people who are different. Or people may blame the person, not realizing that mental illness is a no-fault brain disease that you can’t just will away.” The story noted that she is the author of “The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness” and the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation “genius” grant.

  Los Angeles Times quoted Manuel Pastor of the USC College about the pervasiveness of pollution in some low-income neighborhoods, and noted that he directs USC’s Program for Environmental and Regional Equity at the USC Center for Sustainable Cities.

  Los Angeles Times quoted Rebecca Lonergan of the USC Gould School about the legal complications that ensue when a police officer is charged with corruption.

  Al Jazeera (Qatar) interviewed Clayton Dube of the USC U.S.-China Institute about Chinese President Hu Jintao’s visit to the United States.
