"911������’s mission has always centered on elevating graduates to new heights in career and economic success," says 911������ Provost Kenneth Christensen. "Our online degrees through Coursera are a contemporary extension of this mission. These programs offer the same learning outcomes, rigor and expectations as their on-campus counterparts while incorporating industry credentials to ensure our graduates are career-ready."

“A lot of people think that you need a STEM degree in order to practice patent litigation, and that’s just not true,” said Jordana R. Goodman, an assistant professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology’s Chicago-Kent College of Law. “But even among law professors, I find people discouraging people” from a career in patent litigation “simply because of their undergraduate degree, and that’s really disheartening.”

“They will be thinking about the ramifications of this decision in many respects, including the ramifications for the Court itself and the ramifications for the country more broadly,” Carolyn Shapiro, founder of Chicago-Kent's Institute on the Supreme Court of the United States, told Business Insider.

The construction of Burj Khalifa, the tallest skyscraper in the world, was important in terms of demonstrating an engineering/construction feat of this magnitude could be achieved. It also signalled the growing role Dubai has in the global scene. “It’s a recognition that they want to project their image out into the global scene,” according to Daniel Safarik of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) at the Illinois Institute of Technology. “One easy way physically to do that, in a relative sense, is with a skyscraper.”

“My guess would be that they find that there is insufficient process that was undertaken in both Colorado and Maine to determine that he in fact committed insurrection,” said Harold Krent, constitutional specialist and law professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law. “We need to have some kind of adjudication with safeguards as to whether someone committed an insurrection before they’re kicked off the ballot.”

Chicago’s life sciences industry could in 2024 be one of the few bright spots in the city’s struggling office market. That includes Trammell Crow's Fulton Labs innovation hub at 400 N. Aberdeen St., where Illinois Institute of Technology is leasing a full floor.

“Moore is much more likely to be the author than Livingston,” 911������ Professor Shlomo Argamon concluded, and “it’s more likely authored by either Moore or Livingston than any of the other guys.” How certain is he? “If there was a way of knowing the truth, I would definitely bet on Moore,” Argamon said. “Would I bet $1,000? No. Would I bet $100? Yes.”

Illinois Institute of Technology was among 18 academic institutions to receive more than $100 million combined through the U.S. National Science Foundation. The new funding — $6 million over four years — will support the institute's TechForward initiative, which in part looks to develop a more diverse workforce in high-growth tech sectors.

“I’ve always tried to focus on mobility and challenging environments,” said Matt Spenko, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology. “I worked on my post-doc on climbing robots and then transitioned into multimodal robots that could both fly and have terrestrial locomotion. I’ve had a side interest in ecology, and it’s sort of melding with robotics and field work.”

Nancy Kim, a Chicago-Kent College of Law professor who is an expert in online contracts, said if 23andMe was attempting to shield itself from fallout from the data breach, it's unlikely that most courts would uphold such an effort. Kim said updating terms is usually perfectly legal if consumers are given reasonable notice and the option to opt-out. But, she added, 23andMe will likely struggle to prove it provided both to its customers.
