Houston Chronicle - BRANDENBURG, Ky. (AP) ? A Kentucky man who got into a scuffle with a deputy trying to arrest him has been charged with manslaughter after the law enforcement officer died of an apparent medical issue.

Doctors Without Borders Calls For More Transparency In Distribution Of Ebola Vaccine
NPR - Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières is accusing the World Health Organization of restricting the availability of the Ebola vaccine in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Dr. Isabelle Defourny, MSF's director of operations, said in a statement Monday that at least 2,000 people could be receiving the vaccine each day, instead of the maximum of 1,000 who are vaccinated daily at present. She called for WHO to supply more vaccines to medical teams. "WHO is restricting the availability of the vaccine in the field and the eligibility criteria and their application for reasons that are unclear," said Defourny. "We think that upping the pace of vaccination is necessary and feasible." Ebola has killed more than 2,100 people in Congo since August 2018. The Ebola outbreak in Congo was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by WHO in July 2019, following the first confirmed case in Goma, a city of almost two million people.

University of New Mexico enrollment declines
Houston Chronicle - ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) ? Enrollment at the University of New Mexico has declined by 6.5% causing budget shortfalls across the campus. The Albuquerque Journal reported Monday that the overall 22,792-student enrollment is down by 1,600 fewer students compared to last fall. Officials say enrollment includes undergraduates, graduate, law and medical students and others. School officials say the decrease would result in an estimated $4 million budget shortfall, because tuition and fee revenue will be less than the school was predicting. Officials say the decline is a residual effect from an unexpected 17% drop in freshmen last year and improvements to graduation rates. Officials say it could also be that some students have decided to take basic courses at cheaper community colleges and some potential students have decided to work rather than enroll in college. ___ Information from: Albuquerque Journal,...
