Federal Job Seekers Will Be Quizzed on Trump's Executive Orders
The Trump administration is adding four essay questions to applications for civil service jobs, asking applicants about their favorite executive orders and their commitment to government efficiency. The essay requirements apply even to relatively lower-level jobs starting at the GS-5 pay scale or above — positions that can begin at base salaries as low as $32,357. Those jobs include nursing assistants, park rangers and firefighters.

Obatining Schengen visa to get harder for some expats from July
Muscat: It is not good news from Europe if you are planning on visiting this summer! Starting July 1, 2025, Germany's Federal Foreign Office has decided to abolish the remonstration procedure for visa rejections worldwide. This change means that applicants whose visa applications are rejected will no longer be able to submit a formal remonstration (a type of appeal or objection) directly to the German mission that processed their application. Until now, candidates had been able to apply for a new examination of the visa application, as long as it was done within a month of receiving the visa refusal letter. Applicants will now have the option to take legal action by filing a lawsuit with the administrative court in Berlin. The remonstration procedure was previously a mandatory step for applicants who wished to challenge a visa rejection before pursuing legal avenues. Its abolition aims to streamline the visa application process and reduce administrative burdens. This decision applies to all German diplomatic missions globally.

In the federal government—and many state governments, as well—diversity, equity and inclusion is an evil to be exorcised from every corner of education. Colleges and universities are feeling the pressure across the breadth of their institutions—including business schools. But one constituency is assuredly not on board with eradicating DEI: people who want to enroll in business school. That, at least, is what they're telling the Graduate Management Admission Council. According to GMAC, two-thirds of US business school candidates say that equity and inclusion 'are important or very important to their academic experience.' And 60% of this group, or about 40% of all US applicants, further declare that they 'would rule out applying to a school that does not prioritize the topic.'
