Man shared ex's nudes with her employer in 'public interest', rules Canadian tribunal
A woman in Canada's British Columbia filed a complaint against her ex-partner for sharing her explicit images with her employer, but a civil court denied her compensation and ruled that her ex's actions were in "public interest". After their relationship ended, the woman's ex-partner sent images to her employer, claiming that he was reporting her for 'workplace misconduct.'(Representational) The case involved a woman referred to by the Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) as 'MR,' who had sent nude and sexually explicit images and videos of herself to her then-partner, 'SS,' during their relationship. The photos and videos were recorded during business hours and at her workplace, and some were filmed in publicly accessible areas like a front counter, the court was told. After their relationship ended, the woman's ex-partner sent the images to her employer, claiming that he was reporting her for 'workplace misconduct.' However, the woman alleged that her ex was angry over their breakup and wanted to damage her reputation. 'Public interest' The civil tribunal considered British Columbia's Intimate Images Protection Act, which says that for an image to qualify as 'intimate,' it must depict nudity or sexual activity and the subject must have had a reasonable expectation of privacy when the image was taken. Tribunal member Megan Stewart said that the first condition was met, but the second was not, as the woman chose to take the pictures in publicly accessible areas at her workplace. Stewart also ruled that even if the tribunal considered the images private, sharing them with the employer was justifiable as it was an issue of "public interest." 'I find it was in the public interest for the respondent to share the applicant's images with her employer,' her decision reads. The tribunal also added that since the images were taken on the employer's property and during work hours, especially in non-private areas, it is reasonable for the employer to be informed. The tribunal dismissed the case, denying any damages and did not offer the $5000 compensation to the woman

JECRC University Unveils a New Template for Inclusive Campus Hiring with 35% Female Placements in 2025
In a striking development that reflects evolving hiring practices and the rising aspirations of women in higher education, JECRC University has announced that 35% of all job offers during its 2025 placement cycle were secured by female students. The university, which has consistently positioned itself as an innovation-driven institution, continues to challenge conventional gender dynamics in campus hiring. The 2025 recruitment cycle at JECRC witnessed 2,230+ students placed across 13 schools and 161 programs, with 876 students receiving offers of ₹7 lakh per annum or more. The highest annual package offered this year reached ₹33 LPA, making it the university's most competitive placement season to date. While the overall placement numbers are commendable, it is the gender data that stands out. At a time when many institutions continue to grapple with gender disparity in STEM placements, JECRC's 35% female hiring rate reflects a conscious, systemic shift in both institutional training and corporate preference. Strategic Focus on Employability Yields Results According to JECRC officials, the robust placement outcomes - particularly for women - stem from the university's long-standing focus on skill enhancement, corporate alignment, and personalized training modules. JECRC's Campus Recruitment Training (CRT) initiative is a comprehensive, 300+ hour program that sharpens students' competencies in quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, coding, soft skills, and professional communication. Conducted in partnership with platforms such as PrepInsta, CoCubes, HackerRank, AMCAT, and TCS iON, CRT ensures students are not just eligible, but employable. 'The future of hiring is skills-first, and that's where we've invested consistently,' said a senior member of JECRC's training and placement cell. 'We don't differentiate in ambition or training based on gender - and that's beginning to reflect in our outcomes.' Cross-Disciplinary Success and Corporate Trust JECRC's female students received offers across technical and non-technical streams. While firms like TCS, Capgemini, LTI Mindtree, and Accenture recruited heavily from engineering backgrounds, several roles were also offered in domains like operations, consulting, and financial services. Notably, 125 offers from Accenture and TCS were made in non-tech programs such as BBA, BCA, and This broad hiring base has been made possible due to targeted industry partnerships that provide students with real-time exposure to tools, platforms, and corporate workflows. More than 450 students each year undergo project-based training with ServiceNow, and AWS-certified cloud computing courses are now embedded in computer science-related programs. Corporate collaborations with Google Cloud, Capgemini, MG Motors, and HPE CTY also bring internship and workshop opportunities to campus, helping students graduate with not just a degree but practical, résumé-worthy experience. National Recognition and Institutional Growth In recognition of its evolving placement ecosystem and commitment to bridging academia-industry gaps, JECRC was featured at multiple national platforms in 2025: HR Success Talk (New Delhi) – Honored for excellence in corporate hiring alignment International Business Conference (Bengaluru) – Cited for graduate readiness and institutional best practices SHRM TECH 2.0 (Mumbai) – Applauded for integrating AI into training and assessments Such recognition has strengthened JECRC's standing among top-tier institutions preparing students for India's rapidly transforming job market. A Template for Inclusive Hiring in Higher Education While the numbers are promising, experts believe that JECRC's 35% women placement figure could serve as a benchmark for similar institutions aiming to improve gender diversity. According to market observers, this is not only an academic milestone but a signal to corporate India that the next generation of female talent is coming from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, ready and qualified. 'JECRC's placement strategy has proved that when infrastructure, mentorship, and opportunity align - diversity follows naturally,' noted an HR analyst associated with a leading consulting firm. 'This isn't just about women getting jobs; it's about women emerging as the future workforce leaders.' Looking Forward JECRC has placed over 12,000 students in the last five years, and its current trajectory suggests increasing integration between academia and enterprise. With a growing emphasis on AI, cloud, cybersecurity, digital business, and entrepreneurship, the university is aligning its curriculum with what top employers now seek - diversity, agility, and innovation. As companies double down on inclusive hiring and future-ready skill sets, institutions like JECRC University are not just producing graduates - they are shaping the workforce of tomorrow.

Greater Noida: 2 rescued, five arrested in kidnapping-cum-extortion racket
Greater Noida police rescue two, arrest 5 in kidnapping-cum-extortion racket GREATER NOIDA: Greater Noida's Surajpur police, in a joint operation with CRT (crisis response team), surveillance and CDT (cyber detection team), rescued two kidnapping victims — Chandra Pal Yadav, 65 and his driver Sachin, 27 and arrested five suspects in a midnight rescue on June 12, said police on Sunday. The suspects were identified as Rohit, 24, Pradeep Malik, 36, Sachin, 28, Ashish, 24, and Rahul, 23—all from Sonipat, Haryana. 'A joint team of Surajpur Police, CRT, and surveillance successfully rescued two kidnapping victims and arrested five suspects from Sonipat, Haryana. The suspects were involved in a conspiracy to cheat and extort businessmen by offering large loans and then threatening and abducting them for more money. We have recovered two vehicles, cash, mobile phones, and other documents from their possession', said DCP Central Noida, Shakti Mohan Awasthi. The conspiracy traces back to September 2024, when Prevendra and Suresh Dalal, allegedly the kingpins of this conspiracy, provided a ₹3 crore bank transfer to Chandra Pal's company, Pawan Energy India Pvt Ltd, in Sector 135, Noida. Chandra Pal and his sons were forced to pay back ₹3.17 crore, but the suspects demanded an additional ₹3 crore, threatening him with violence and kidnapping if their demands were not met, said police. On the night of June 12, 2025, the suspects abducted Chandra Pal and his driver Sachin at gunpoint from Unitac Horizon, Pi-II, Greater Noida. They assaulted and abused the two, forced them into Chandra Pal's Toyota Fortuner and a Kia Sonet, and drove them away to Sonipat, where Chandra Pal and Sachin were kept hostage and physically assaulted to extract more money. Later, the suspects were taking the two back to Greater Noida in the same vehicles when Surajpur police, acting on a tip-off, intercepted and rescued Chandra Pal and Sachin safely and made the arrests on the spot. During the search, police recovered ₹75,000, two cars, one Samsung watch, three mobile phones, eight debit cards, one laptop with charger, two cheque books, two country-made pistols (.315 bore) with four live cartridges and other documents including PAN, Aadhar and IDs, said police. 'A case has been registered at Surajpur police station under sections 140(1) Kidnapping or abducting in order to murder or for ransom, 115(2) voluntarily causing hurt, 352 intentional insult, 351(3) Criminal Intimidation, 61(2) criminal conspiracy, 308 Extortion, 309(4) robbery, and 317(2) stolen property of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 3/25 of Arms Act. Our investigations are ongoing, and we are making all efforts to arrest the remaining suspects who are currently absconding', added DCP Awasthi. According to police, the suspects have education ranging from BA, and BBA. An investigation is currently underway and efforts are being made to arrest Prevendra and Dalal, said police.

Op-Ed: CNN Host Says Question To Education Secretary About Tulsa Race Massacre Was A ‘Gotcha' Question. Umm…No!
Source: Here's the thing: white conservatives want to do away with DEI, critical race theory, and everything else that gets their racial resentment flowing, but they don't really want to get into the weeds of whether their anti-progress stances have merit, or whether the people in charge of deciding what constitutes DEI and CRT are equipped to make such assessments. All white conservatives do is make claims with little to nothing to substantiate them and dismiss any challenges to those claims as 'woke,' 'leftist,' or, in the case of CNN host Scott Jennings and his ilk, fraught with 'gotcha' questions. Last week, Education Secretary Linda McMahon was grilled during a congressional hearing about the Trump administration's efforts to ban what it considers to be 'illegal DEI practices' at K-12 public schools. She was asked for examples of what historical teachings might fall under that category, specifically, whether teaching students about the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 would violate federal policy. 'I'd have to get back to you on that,' McMahon responded multiple times, including after she was asked if she even knew the massacre happened — indicating that the white person in charge of the office that is deciding how much Black history is too much Black history wasn't aware of arguably the most well-known race riot in American history. The importance of why someone in McMahon's position should be better versed in Black history — especially if she's involved in deciding what should and shouldn't be taught — eluded Jennings, apparently. During a Wednesday segment of CNN's 'News Night with Abby Phillip,' Phillip noted correctly that McMahon has shown herself to be a woefully underqualified Cabinet member in the administration of President Donald Trump, despite the administration presenting its anti-DEI agenda as a campaign for meritocracy. Jennings responded by deflecting to his perceived failing of the Biden administration (because MAGA supporters have nothing if they don't have, 'But…but…but Sleepy Joe' ) before segueing to his actual point, which was generally no real point at all. 'The only thing I care about for the education secretary — the literal only thing I care about — is what they are doing to close the Department of Education,' Jennings said. 'I don't care how many books she's read; I don't care what answers to 'gotcha' questions she had. I just want to know how quickly we can close the department.' See, this is what I call mindless Trumpetting . First of all, Jennings is out here gleefully admitting on live air that he doesn't care how educated the Secretary of Education is as long as she shuts down the department she's in charge of, an agenda of President Donald Trump that is transparently rooted in ideology, not merit or practicality. Secondly, everything isn't a 'gotcha' question just because a MAGA official who doesn't know things got 'got.' McMahon was asked about Tulsa and Ruby Bridges in a discussion about what her office considers 'illegal DEI' curriculum. (She wasn't even asked the more relevant question: What does school curriculum have to do with diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in the first place, unless we're simply otherizing any teachings that don't center white America?) McMahon wasn't asked any difficult questions, but she was asked questions that would have forced her to present Trump's anti-DEI mission in a way that isn't so vague and ambiguous. And the Trump administration couldn't have that because people might find out the anti-diversity and critical race theory war is actually just a bunch of racist nonsense. That would be the ultimate 'gotcha,' wouldn't it?
