The New York State Bar Association is investigating whether President Donald Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, deserves to be booted from its membership after months of baseless election claims in court and his suggestion Wednesday that Trump supporters engage in “trial by combat” just hours before a violent mob infiltrated the U.S. Capitol in an attack that left five dead.

The Board of Regents on Monday elected Lester Young as chancellor, the presiding officer of the board and a key position in state education policy.
Young, who becomes the first African American to hold the position, worked for decades as an educator and administrator in New York City schools before joining the Board of Regents in 2008. During his time on the board, he has served as a vocal supporter of focusing on marginalized students, particularly students of color and those living in poverty. Young has chaired the board’s P12 education committee, which develops the most significant policies governing the state’s public schools, and led a work group focused on early education.
