OPM's New Reduction in Force Rules Emphasize Performance, Raising Concerns for Federal Employee Morale

OPM's New Reduction in Force Rules Emphasize Performance, Raising Concerns for Federal Employee Morale

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is implementing new rules for reductions in force (RIFs) that will take effect on September 2, 2026. These updated regulations place a significantly greater emphasis on employee performance when determining retention standing during RIFs. Under the new framework, an employee's three most recent performance ratings from the applicable four-year period will be used to calculate performance credit. This means that federal employees with stronger recent performance records may have a higher retention standing, even if they have fewer years of federal service. This shift aims to prioritize merit in workforce reductions. However, this change is anticipated to affect employee well-being, morale, and workplace culture, as it introduces increased pressure around performance ratings and potential anxiety among the federal workforce. Federal HR leaders are advised to prepare for these changes by communicating clearly, training managers for difficult conversations, and pre...

Ohio State University Settles with Justice Department for $2.1 Million Over Undisclosed China Ties in Federal Grants

Ohio State University Settles with Justice Department for $2.1 Million Over Undisclosed China Ties in Federal Grants

Ohio State University (OSU) has agreed to pay a $2.1 million settlement to the U.S. Department of Justice. This settlement resolves allegations that the university failed to disclose its employees' affiliations with Chinese universities and state-run research organizations when applying for federal grant funding from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). Both NASA and the NSF require grant applicants to disclose any foreign government support received by principal investigators or co-principal investigators. The Justice Department alleged that annual faculty activity reports submitted to OSU since 2014 identified these Chinese affiliations, but the university did not relay this information to the federal agencies. Additionally, OSU reportedly learned in 2019 that a principal investigator on NASA grants was involved in China's 'Thousand Talents Programme,' which aims to recruit individuals with access to foreign technology intellectual prope...

PEN America Report Reveals U.S. Public Libraries at 'Breaking Point' Amid Ideological Attacks and Censorship

PEN America Report Reveals U.S. Public Libraries at 'Breaking Point' Amid Ideological Attacks and Censorship

PEN America, a nonprofit organization advocating for free expression, has released a report titled 'Out of Circulation: Expanding Censorship in Public Libraries,' detailing the escalating threats faced by U.S. public libraries. The report indicates that these institutions are at a 'breaking point' due to political interference, harassment, and ideological censorship. This includes a significant increase in book bans, with 51% of all attempted book bans nationwide now occurring in public libraries, a notable expansion from their previous concentration in school libraries. The report highlights various incidents such as bomb threats, protests, and physical assaults on librarians, leading to the cancellation of events. It also notes efforts to defund libraries and undermine their independent governance, with politically appointed officials sometimes overriding the decisions of democratically elected library boards. The content targeted often includes literature featuring LGBTQ+ individuals, race, racism, and ...

U.S. Academics' Negotiation Training Program Shows Long-Term Economic Benefits for Young Women in Zambia

U.S. Academics' Negotiation Training Program Shows Long-Term Economic Benefits for Young Women in Zambia

A team of female U.S. academics, including Professor Corinne Low from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, has been conducting a research project in Zambia for over a decade. This project involves teaching negotiation skills to groups of 12- and 13-year-old girls. The curriculum, delivered over three weeks by local young women, focuses on understanding others' perspectives and collaborative problem-solving rather than adversarial negotiation. Follow-up analysis indicates that girls who participated in these negotiation classes have experienced sustained economic benefits more than ten years later. These benefits include staying in school longer, being more likely to graduate from college, and a reduced likelihood of marrying significantly older men, when compared to a control group that received general empowerment classes without negotiation training.
