The recent election of Brandon Johnson as Chicago’s new mayor has been the center of attention in the US this week. As public safety concerns top the priority list for Chicagoans, political observers are attempting to explain the appeal of Johnson, who emphasized community investment and alternatives to policing to restore order in Chicago, in contrast to his opponent Paul Vallas who promised to pursue a tough-on-crime agenda.

It’s Annual Evaluation Season for Academic Professional and Civil Service employees.
