CUNY’s First Latino Chancellor - Felix Matos Rodriguez
When Felix Matos Rodriguez was named the eighth chancellor of New York’s prestigious City University of New York (CUNY) system and its first Latino leader in May of 2019, it was a towering achievement for him and the city’s entire Latino population. CUNY is a vast network consisting of 25 campuses including 11 senior colleges, seven community colleges, one undergraduate honors college and seven post-graduate institutions. It enrolls more than 275,000 students, which requires an operating budget of $3.6 billion. Among its alumni, it has produced 13 Nobel Prize winners and 24 MacArthur Fellows. It’s as vital to New York City as its complex subway system. Every CUNY college provides a pathway for bright working class students to become doctors, attorneys, teachers, entrepreneurs, nurses and librarians—to name a few careers. And CUNY’s student body is as diverse and multicultural as New York City itself, consisting of 30% White students, 26% Latino, 23% African American and 19% Asian. Of its student body, 35% were born outside the U.S., and...

Preventing Sports Injury And Death
National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) has released though its scientific publication, The Journal of Athletic Training “Preventing Catastrophic Injury and Death in Collegiate Athletes: Interassociation Recommendations Endorsed by 13 Medical and Sports Medicine Organizations.” The paper includes recommendations in six areas that address the prevention of catastrophic traumatic (caused directly by participation in a sports activity) and non-traumatic (result of exertion while participating in a sports activity) injury and death. The recommendations stem from the Second Safety in College Football Summit in 2016 and have been reviewed and endorsed by relevant stakeholders and endorsing organizations. The paper also provides an actionable checklist for use by those with a responsibility to the health and wellbeing of collegiate student athletes. “Almost all cases of non-traumatic catastrophic injury and death are preventable and or treatable,” said NCAA Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Brian Hainline. “We’ve seen a clear improvement in policies, research, education and…

Chasing Scholarships Endangers Students
Editor’s Note: A new survey reveals that intense pursuit of sports scholarships leaves high school students injury-prone later in life.
Sixty million kids participate in organized athletics each year with ever increasing amounts of children specializing in one sport before the age of 14 with hopes of a college scholarship or professional career on the line. However, researchers presenting their work at the AOSSM/AANA Specialty Day earlier this year revealed that this early intense participation might come at the cost of increased injuries during their athletic careers. The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) is the premier global organization representing the interests of orthopaedic surgeons and other professionals who provide comprehensive health services for the care of athletes and active people of all ages and levels. AOSSM is also a founding partner of the STOP Sports Injuries campaign to prevent…

The Health And Safety Of Student Athletes
A survey of college and university athletic trainers shows that 51.73% of their collegiate-level sports programs follow the NCAA-legislated independent medical model of care. In addition, 76.26% of respondents feel they have medical autonomy—the unchallengeable authority to determine medical management of athletes. The survey was conducted by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association’s (NATA) Intercollegiate Council for Sports Medicine (ICSM). Results were presented at a press briefing during NATA’s 70th Clinical Symposia in Las Vegas. The NCAA legislation for student athletes is a model that ensures independent medical care by giving primary athletic health care providers—defined as team Physicians and athletic trainers (ATs)—the autonomous authority to make decisions related to the health and safety of athletes without the influences of the athletic department, including coaches and other personnel. Autonomous authority is the cornerstone for independent medical care for student athletes. The survey also shows that more than one-third (36.32%) reported…
