In a mutiny against strict party rules imposed last year following allegations of frat house sexual assaults, six USC fraternities formally disaffiliated from the university Friday — prompting warnings of “serious ramifications” from campus administrators. latimes.com/california/sto…
Six of the 15 chapters in the USC Interfraternity Council so far have chosen to sever their relationship with USC. They are Kappa Alpha Order, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Alpha Mu, Sigma Chi, Tau Kappa Epsilon and Zeta Beta Tau. latimes.com/california/sto…
The issue exploded last fall at USC, one of the nation’s top-ranked campuses for Greek life where about 17% of undergraduates are members of 48 fraternities and sororities. latimes.com/california/sto…

In a potential mutiny against strict rules imposed following allegations of frat house sexual assaults, USC officials said some fraternities are weighing whether to disaffiliate — prompting warnings of “serious ramifications” from campus administrators.
latimes.com/california/sto…
USC officials have given fraternities a Friday deadline to convey their decision, as students prepare to return to campus next week.
latimes.com/california/sto…
Monique S. Allard, interim vice president for student affairs, told The Times on Friday that officials are still actively engaged in conversations to persuade fraternity leaders to stay affiliated and benefit from resources offered by campus professionals.

In an approximately $66 million drug company settlement, the court made ex-judge John K. Trotter a gatekeeper for the funds. No money was to leave an escrow account at Comerica Bank except “as directed” by the retired justice, according to a court order.
latimes.com/california/sto…
Yet almost all of the settlement – some $65 million – poured into a separate law firm account controlled by Tom Girardi, according to internal Girardi Keese records that became public this year in bankruptcy proceedings.
latimes.com/california/sto…
Just over a month after he gained access to the money, Girardi wrote a check on that account for $750,000 to M.M. Jewelers.

The family-owned store in downtown L.A. had created several pieces in the $15-million jewelry collection of Erika Girardi.

Ana Lopez was 14 when her mom shared gossip about a woman in their neighborhood who, rumor had it, had gotten an abortion.

“Catholic people don’t do that,” Bertha Valdez said.

“Se va a ir al infierno,” Lopez recalls her mom saying. “She’s going to hell.”
latimes.com/politics/story…
Nearly three decades later, Lopez, now 40, says the memory remains vivid, a reminder of her family’s long-standing beliefs — and of how important it was for her to break with tradition and challenge the stereotype of Latinos as socially conservative.

latimes.com/politics/story…
The Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe vs. Wade after nearly a half century and subsequent abortion bans in many states have pushed reproductive rights to the forefront of the political debate ahead of the midterm elections.

Heche was being kept on life support at the Grossman Burn Center at West Hills Hospital while medical staffers determined whether any of her organs were viable for donation, as had long been her wish, the statement said. latimes.com/entertainment-…
