USG wants mandatory "sustainability" module
Good morning. It’s Wednesday, and I’m happy to report we’ve landed on the list of “most disappointing” football teams. Onto the five USC, Los Angeles, and California stories you need to know for today.

A sophomore accounting major says she wakes up at 4 a.m. every day to run a burgeoning ready-to-eat chicken startup. For $40, Im’peccable Chicken will ship you a six-pack of chicken breasts ready to eat out of the bag — that last for a month in the fridge.

One of LA’s top hospitals was slapped with yet another lawsuit alleging it covered up an OB-GYN’s history of inappropriate conduct. One woman said Cedars-Sinai doctor Barry J. Brock told her she was “nice and tight down there.” Another said he sniffed his fingers after performing a vaginal exam.
