On this episode of The Current with K.J., we take a look into the major $100 million settlement reached by Ohio State University in lawsuits involving former students and a former university physician, and what the case means for accountability in higher education.
We also break down reports that SpaceX is preparing for one of the largest public offerings in history, with a valuation approaching $1.8 trillion, and discuss the growing role of private companies in the future of space exploration.
In media news, we take a closer look at the escalating dispute surrounding the departure of veteran journalist Scott Pelley from CBS News, including the public exchange between Pelley and network leadership that has sparked conversations across the journalism industry.
In Carolina Focus, we review Rocky Mount's proposed 2026–27 budget, including tax increases, cost-cutting measures, and infrastructure investments aimed at addressing the city's ongoing financial challenges. We also share a remarkable survival story of a Sherpa guide rescued on Mount Everest after being missing for nearly a week in one of the world's harshest environments.
