USC's most jacked professor
Good morning. It’s Monday, and these are the five USC, Los Angeles, and California stories you need to know for today.
1.
A USC adjunct is racking up serious views on Instagram for his “day in the life of a USC professor” videos. Clinton Suh’s reels mostly feature shirtless gym footage and clips of his Corvette, although the brofessor’s thirst traps are occasionally set in the classroom. Suh teaches — where else — at Marshall.
2.
Have you ever eaten a meal at EVK and wondered, “Couldn’t USC do better than this?” Well, yes. Just not for you. Sports Dissected published a behind-the-scenes video at Little Galen, the athlete-only dining hall where rarefied Trojans are served exceptional-looking meals, including tomahawk steaks stamped with the USC logo.
3.
UCLA’s student government came under fire last week when it published a statement condemning an on-campus event that featured a freed Israeli hostage, saying it could “obscure the broader reality of ongoing state violence.” In a rare rebuke, a UC regent blasted the student government, the LA Times reported.
4.
The man accused of opening fire outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner this weekend is a graduate of Caltech who lives in Torrance. Former classmates said they were shocked to see 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen in the news. “Even for Caltech, he was a little autistic,” one told The Wall Street Journal.
5.
Graduating seniors are being bombarded with negative messages about AI and the job market. In a breath of fresh air, Jodi Kantor, a legendary New York Times investigative journalist, wrote some actually good advice on finding fulfilling work. She’ll visit USC on May 18 to discuss her book with Jason Sudeikis.
