US GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN TRIBAL COLLEGES
DESCRIPTION: As the federal government proposes gutting funding for tribal colleges and universities – an effort some see as part of the Trump administration’s attack on diversity – TCUs across the country are tightening budgets, canceling planned expansions and in some cases laying off staff. While some have managed to claw back federal funding, they say the future remains unclear. In partnership with NPR‘s Code Switch podcast, the AP takes a look at one tribal college in North Dakota that is providing education and cultural restoration in one of the most underserved communities in the country.

US ZOOS-VIEWING VETERINARIANS
DESCRIPTION: At one New Jersey zoo, the latest attraction isn’t any particular species. It’s the opportunity to see veterinarians at work with their wide range of animal patients. The Turtle Back Zoo this year became one of the relatively few U.S. zoos that routinely give the public a view of veterinary care. In an era when social media campaigns and lawsuits have questioned the well-being of captive animals, some zoos see putting vets on view as a form of transparency.
