☕ Coffee sales fuel nursing scholarships at UC College of Nursing. The University of Cincinnati has partnered with Morning Rounds Coffee to address the nursing shortage through their "Cincy Grinds" coffee initiative.

The initiative supports the next generation of healthcare workers while celebrating National Nurses Month.

👮♂️ Four white male Cincinnati police officers sue over alleged discrimination. The federal lawsuit claims they were denied preferred assignments and promotions because of their race and gender, with Police Chief Teresa Theetge allegedly favoring minorities and women. The officers cite statistics showing 79% of minority lieutenants and 89% of female lieutenants received preferred assignments compared to just 44% of white male lieutenants. The Sentinel Police Association president questioned these claims, noting the department has only three Black female lieutenants. One plaintiff previously settled a similar discrimination lawsuit against the city for $75,000.
