US Money News, Nov. 28–30, 2025: Record Black Friday Spending, Fed Cut Expectations and a Futures Market Shock

From November 28 to 30, 2025, US “money news” has been dominated by three big themes: record-breaking Black Friday spending, growing expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut in December, and a rare outage that froze global futures trading for hours. Layered on top of that are rising consumer debt worries, a still-fragile post‑shutdown economy and a federal budget strained by higher interest costs.

AI Invades the Ivory Tower: Universities Race to Ride the Artificial Intelligence Wave

AI Invades the Ivory Tower: Universities Race to Ride the Artificial Intelligence Wave

Not long ago, “artificial intelligence” in college was confined to niche computer science electives or research labs. Today, it’s going mainstream in higher education. Universities are rapidly rolling out AI majors, minors, and certificates to meet student demand and workforce needs. Carnegie Mellon University made headlines in 2018 as the first to offer a bachelor’s degree in Artificial Intelligence skywork.ai. Since then, dozens of universities have followed suit with new programs blending computer science, data science, and machine learning. MIT launched a cross-disciplinary major in “AI and Decision Making,” and Stanford’s Human-Centered AI initiative spans seven departments to ensure students learn to design AI that augments rather than replaces human capabilities skywork.ai. Even public university systems are scaling up AI education: the University of Florida, for example, hired >100 faculty and created over 200 AI-infused courses across all colleges as part of an “AI Across the Curriculum” push skywork.ai.
