Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf has resigned after only one year in office, due to his coalition falling apart. Yousaf gained power as the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), the first minister, and the leader of the parliamentary coalition with the Scottish Green Party in March 2023. But he accidentally threw it away when he made an unforced error in dismissing two Green Party members out of the legislature. He failed to gather enough support to overturn a no-confidence vote, and so he has resigned. He has stated a vote for a new first minister will commence soon.
On another note, Columbia University, NY, has taken to suspending pro-Palestinian protesters who stayed on campus after the 2:00 p.m. EDT deadline. They will not be able to complete the semester or graduate, and they are not allowed inside school buildings and housing. To ensure that its 15,000 graduates could still have their commencement ceremony as scheduled, this decision was made. People have started to question whether the university has crossed the line between protection against anti-semitism and violation of the freedom of expression. However, many Jewish students have participated in the protests, and freshman Nicholas Fink said the movements are not anti-semitic.
