can u talk a little bit more about the svech babies all grown up? How do you picture them in the future? I’m so invested now 😭😍

yes yes!! i have a longer post somewhere in my drafts that i’ll have to find and tidy up, but a few thoughts!

evie figure skates and goes pretty far, professionally, before an injury takes her out and she retires from the sport except for recreationally. she coaches figure skating as an adult. she also ends up marrying a hockey player (a canes defenseman who she hates at first and then falls in love with)

alina plays tennis through college but never tries to go pro or anything like that. she, i think, is the most “academic” of the svech babies and gets an mba, works in finance and marries a sweet, nerd that has no idea what a carolina hurricane is

kira is the least athletic of the bunch and bounces from sport to sport and job to job after she graduates college. she’s the most creative of the svech kids and i can see her being a writer or going into marketing. she’s also more of a free spirt and low key does the kate hudson thing and never actually marries her long term fiance even though they have a couple of kids

dimitri and maks both play hockey professionally. d is a defenseman and m is a goalie. they play on the same team for a couple of years before an injury forces d to retire. he marries an espn rink-side reporter (he accidentally exposes their relationship live on air and she’s mortified) and maks ends up in a situationship with her cousin for a very long time before they have an accidental pregnancy - they co-parent and drift in and out of a relationship for years until suddenly they have like two or three kids and are like huh okay i guess we actually work well together and become “official��� much to andrei and solnyshka’s relief

Question from Quora: "When Democrats talk about 'democracy', they really mean socialism, don't they? If so, why do they appear not to know that socialism isn't democratic?"

My answer: Social Democracy is not pure socialism. Rather, it is fairly reminiscent of FDR’s era where Capitalism was somewhat balanced with social policies, business regulations and tax rates on Corporations & wealthy individuals were much higher than in today’s 21st century economy.

Many of the rubes and uninformed voters of today who have been given the false ideology of “trickle down” economics and “Free Market”(no such thing) Globalism as being to their benefit, do not know history well enough to see through that nonsense when they read it or hear it.

US Universities and many business oriented colleges churned out 1000’s of MBA graduates who went directly to Wall Street and consistently defended runaway capitalism and huge tax cuts during the Reagan administration, while also using an anti-union narrative that Reagan boosted during his 2nd term.

Plus..and this is a significant shift…Several “blue chip” corporations off shored to Brazil, India, China and the Philippines, 100’s of 1000’s of US jobs in the Tech industry over the two 1990–2000 decades that put American middle class laborers Out of Work.. Then they blamed unions for off shoring when very few (if any) companies that went overseas were unionized in the first place!

Americans ‘drank those sewage polices’ as if it were a ‘honey’ sustenance of the whole US economy…when in reality, it poisoned the US balance of social democracy and the pro-corporate anti-social policies Congress passed as multiple financial laws that the American people had no knowledge of and no clue how it affected main street & suburban American working people.

thoughts on lamilla and zimbits double dates (or maybe even include holsom on group dates)? —gothlesbianlardo

Ohhhh my gosh I thought about this for a long time. Ummm and then I went on a rant. Hope this is fun? @gothlesbianlardo

Starts out so awkward. Soooooo awkward. In my head Camilla and Jack BOTH get caught doing the walk of shame out of Lardo and Bitty’s room and they just give eachother twin we are so busted looks

THEN like a month later, Lardo and Camilla run into Jack and Bitty at Annie’s. they say hi and it’s busy and they all kind of crowd into a booth for coffee. A Swallow photog is there and takes a picture of Jack and Camilla briefly hugging and it goes VIRAL on nhl Twitter. bitty thinks it’s funny. jack is mortified.

Then they are bonded by fire. Guess who end up sitting together at games? Camilla and Jack. Rumors are swirling. It’s the perfect cover. Camilla and Jack both hate it for different reasons. And even though they have history and maybe it should be weird, it kind of.. stops being awkward? like they have a lot in common and they get along. And both care a lot about Lardo.

But Jack is still a rookie, Bitty isn’t out to his parents, Camilla is going pro on the tennis circuit and getting her MBA at the same time, and Lardo is landing contracts for art pieces with commas in places that make her head spin. This is kind of the perfect cover. So they ALL go out.

Twitter fans? Rabid. This is unavoidable. Tumblr is obsessed with them. The times Holsom appear on these group dates they’re on are like guest features on a tv show. Bitty’s Twitter presence SKYROCKETS.

Elaborate double, triple dates. Camilla is old money, Hamptons, takes them all out to the cape for a weekend everyone scores off. Falls asleep next to Lardo to the smell of the fog and the sea, and realizes she wants this all the time.

FAST FORWARD like four months and Camilla says “fuck it,” and with Lardo’s permission, hard launches it. Jack just sends her a text that says “<3” and one from Bittle that says “I hope you know I had to copy paste that for him. We’re both so happy for you.”

And then after the Kiss Heard Round The World, everyone lays low for a while, but also no one has to pretend anymore.

Their next double date is under no false pretenses, none of the awkward staring in the hallway like the first night. The double dates take a whole new meaning, and everyone is all for it.

Mostly I think they start going on insane adventures and Bitty’s blog kind of takes off with it. And also big #womeninsports moment because Camilo. Kicks. Ass. In the tennis world. And her and Bitty start a podcast about women’s college sports.

Jack, Stanley Cup Winner, is like “wow I’m a trophy husband to my boyfriend and my ex situationship. that totally tracks!” and is obsessed with helping them film and do the photography. abobe suite king in the off-season. Kent makes a guest appearance on the pod and there’s one WHOLE awkward minute in the recording booth when they’re all looking at each other with ONE man in common. Bitty sits on Jack’s lap the entire time they’re recording. Lardo pulls Camilla into a broom closet after.

Boots and Broken Hearts

A/N: A new fic that I have been thinking about, it'll follow Alessia Russo and original character Willa Conti as they navigate their lives at UNC.

Chapter 1:

The right person, but always the wrong time, maybe one day they can get their timing right. Alessia grew up in the South of London, she had two older brothers and a football obsessed Father, Mario. Her weekends were filled with football, either her playing, her brother Gio playing, her father playing for a local side. Alessia had to play with boys up until the age of 12 due to there being no local girls team she could join, but that was the best thing that could have happened to her. Playing with boys had given her a hunger to be better, stronger and faster than the boys to make sure they wouldn’t have anything to say about having a girl on their team. At school she would often be picked first by the boys because they knew exactly how good she was. Her talents had her noticed by the England Development Team, she went to her first camp for the under 14 team at the tender age of 12. There she met her best friend Ella, they were inseparable from the first moment they met. They both featured in elite football academies although for opposing teams, Alessia for Chelsea and Ella for Manchester United, they would play against each other but nothing would change between them off the pitch no matter the result. When it came time for the two to take on professional contracts Ella was offered a full time contract at her junior club, Alessia made the biggest decision of her young life, well the biggest one at that time, she decided to leave everything she knew and went to college in the United States. Alessia made her stamp on the collegiate football world when she made her first start with North Carolina University.

In comparison Willa had a slightly different road to North Carolina. She was raised in Newcastle Upon Tyne in the North East of England. She was chosen at the tender age of 8 to sign her first contract with Sunderland’s Junior Academy. Willa was tagged as an up and comer, he was a 12 year old playing in the under 16 side, and was placed into the England under 17 side by the age of 14. Willa had an outstanding junior career until she was 16, she was playing in the Under 19 European Championships, it was the final, the game she dreamed of. She stood in the opposition’s 18 yard box waiting for the corner to come in. As the ball soared towards her, Willa readied herself. The ball made contact with her head, then she felt a sharp pain to the right side of her face, then darkness. The Spanish Captain had attempted to clear the ball from the box, but instead she had kicked Willa in the face. It resulted in Willa being knocked unconscious, as well as slicing the right cheek, fracturing her cheekbone, eye socket and breaking her jaw. At that moment Willa had scored the winning goal and had her short career ended. She had her jaw wired shut for 2 months, headaches and concussion symptoms for 4 months and multiple surgeries to fix the shattered bones in her face. By the time she was cleared to play again Willa was 17 and without an academy contract. Her final year of high school was frustrating, she was surrounded by her friends from the academies who were on track for professional contracts, while she was playing division 4 women’s. Willa needed to escape from what could have been, so he sat the SATs and was on a plane as soon as she finished school, playing football (now soccer) at University of California, Los Angeles, UCLA. For four years she studied hard for her MBA while also being the star player of the UCLA Bruins Women’s Soccer Team, Captain from her Sophomore year onwards. She had a passion for analytics and would run reports of all stats for coaches each game, she knew she may never make it pro but she could make a difference on the sidelines. In her Senior year she played in the National Championship game and with 8 minutes until the end of the game her knee gave way. She knew exactly what it was, her ACL.

There were three years between Willa and Alessia, she had stared at UCLA and she had now made the decision to step off the field and begin her coaching and analytical career, her knee still gave her trouble after the reconstruction, each time she kicked the ball it felt different and she knew she was done at the tender age of 22. North Carolina was her lifeline and she took it with both hands. Alessia was away on an England Camp when Willa started. Willa had begun working with Anson Dorrance, the coach of North Carolina on their current team list, looking at game footage from both North Carolina and every other team that they were facing. Willa had never watched so much football in her life as she did now. By the time she met the players Willa knew everything that she could about the technical abilities of the players, she noted that Alessia had not arrived yet as she was still at the National Camp. Both she and Anson had begun working on the pre-season preparation for the team. Once August came around Alessia was back at North Carolina and at training. “Willa this is-'' Anson began. “Alessia Russo, 9 goals, 2 assists in your first collegiate season with a conversion rate of 43 percent, well 43.28 percent to be exact. Very impressive.” Willa had a bright smile and held out her hand to shake. Alessia was surprised by the woman in front of her with the Newcastle accent that sounded familiar, she seemed to know more about her than she did. Their blue eyes met as they shook hands. “I’m Willa Conti, pleasure to meet you Alessia.” She smiled and bit her lip gently. “Pleasure to meet you too, Willa. You seem to know a fair bit about football.” Willa laughed and let go of her hand.”Hope so. Might be disappointing if I didn’t.” Anson patted Alessia on the back. “Get on the park and join the team.” Alessia ran to join her teammates who were ecstatic that she was back.

After training Willa was going through the data from each player’s GPS and footage from the session. Her phone rang with a familiar name on the screen, her girlfriend, Jennifer. “Hey babe.” She sat back in her chair and ran her fingers through her long chestnut hair. Jennifer was not pleased at all that Willa had moved all the way to North Carolina away from her in LA, where she had just been recruited into the Orlando Pride Wave NWSL team. “Hi, you haven’t texted me back in hours. Too busy with all those North Carolina girls?” Willa could hear the anger in Jennifer’s voice and sighed knowing what was coming. “I have been running training and doing the analysis ready for this week’s first scrimmage.” Willa was being drained each conversation with Jennifer knowing that it would quickly become a fight. “Of course, well I have a game this weekend and I got you tickets. Are you able to come?” Willa looked up at the schedule on her office wall. “Yeah I should be able to. Will be a good game against Portland.” Jennifer hummed in agreement. “Yeah it will be good to see you, I miss you.”

“I miss you too, I will see you this weekend. Love you.” Willa’s tone was as happy as she could make it. 

“Love you too babe.” Jennifer sounded a lot more upbeat than when the call had started. The two had met when they were both on the UCLA football teams, Jennifer was a local LA girl and they seemed to be pushed together instantly. Willa found her comforting but did admit that at times she was so focused on football that she did neglect their relationship, it was lucky that they were on the same team. But Jennifer didn’t seem to mind as long as Willa was at all the parties with her, all the games and on her arm when she needed it. Jennifer was gorgeous and could have easily gone into modelling, she had flowing brown hair that had a slight curl, bright green eyes that matched the trees when they would go hiking around California. Her skin was permanently sunkissed and a rose tattoo graced the side of her forearm. As a couple they complimented each other perfectly, Willa had mid back length chestnut brown hair that was usually in a high pony tail, blue eyes that were like a royal blue, her facial scars were only noticeable in particular light like a lion had scratched down her right hand cheek. Willa’s skin was tanned after being in the LA sun for four years, her Italian background had been particularly beneficial. On her left ribs she had a tattoo of the Newcastle United badge and the UCLA Bruin. The Newcastle badge was important to her, they were her team but they never had an academy, the only one close by who had a girls academy was Sunderland, her natural enemy. Jennifer stood at 5 feet 7 inches and Willa who stood at a comfortable 5 feet 10 inches. The two were the IT couple of UCLA Athletics and he sat next to her when she was drafted to the Orlando Pride Wave, it was everything she wanted and more, Willa opted to not go into the draft, not wanting to be disappointed. When Willa received her offer to coach and be technical analyst at North Carolina Jennifer’s response left a lot to be desired, her focus was on their future in Orlando Pride and what it would mean to do long distance how hard it would be. There was no consideration for what Willa wanted, which was all too common in their relationship. 

Willa walked into the athletes dining room ready for another early morning session, she didn’t expect to see Alessia sitting by herself with a textbook by her side. Willa filled up her plate and sat next to the blonde Brit. “Good morning.” Willa smiled warmly, Alessia’s blue eyes looked up at her. “Oh hi.” She sat back and put her fork down on her plate. “What are you doing here so early?” Alessia glanced at the bag on the ground. “You know training isn't until later right?” Willa nodded, “Yeah I know, I just wanted to go for a run at the field, test some things out.” She laughed softly. “Test some things out? Like what the grass length?” She looked back into the older girl’s eyes. “Well depending on the grass length it would change the time that it would take the ball to -” Willa noticed the joking nature of Alessia’s question and the grin she was now wearing. “Ah, um no not the grass length just wanted to check the drills we had planned. Wanting to make sure we are improving on particular things.” Willa looked down at her plate embarrassed slightly about her first answer to Alessia’s clearly rhetorical question. Alessia smiled and bumped gently into Willa’s side. “Sorry, sometimes my sarcasm doesn’t translate. Is it possible for me to come with you to see the drills?” Willa smiled and nodded, unable to answer with her mouth full of food. The rest of their breakfast was filled with casual conversation, Willa discovered that Alessia had gone through the academy system just as she did, she also discovered that she wasn’t a huge fan of the tea available to her in the dining hall. Yorkshire tea was clearly the most superior tea, although with her time in America, Alessia was now very coffee focused, Willa noted that an oat flat white was the younger girl’s order.

Willa and Alessia made their way to the field, she made Willa feel comfortable with no judgement or expectations on her. Alessia felt an instant connection to the young coach, Willa took an interest in what she had to say and never once questioned why she would leave a professional contract behind for college halfway across the world. Willa and Alessia worked on multiple drills for around two hours, by the end they were both trying to catch their breath. “How were they? The drills? They alright?” Willa looked at the blonde next to her. “Well I am absolutely knackered, but I feel good and got to work on my first touch. What did you think?” She fixed her blonde ponytail. “Your touch is bloody good already, I just need your shot conversions a bit higher.” Willa laughed and she smiled. “Oh yeah? As a Sophomore I am out-scoring some of the Seniors.” Alessia put her hands on her hips and looked at the taller girl. “You won’t be playing against these girls in England, or at a World Cup. You are going to play in the best league in the world. The NWSL is dropping in quality and that's the league these players want to end up in. Not you, you have to play in Europe.” Willa said it casually as she grabbed her drink bottle. Alessia stared at her expressions, there was no mistaking that Willa was serious, she was almost matter of factly the way she spoke. Alessia was about to reply to the quite nice comment before they heard Coach Dorrance calling out. “Willa don’t keep the players from class! She is here for an education not just to kick a ball around, if her grades drop you will be tutoring her!” Willa nodded, “Yes Sir, sorry Alessia. I will see you tonight at training,I think we will be looking at some footage after the session. I want to chat to you about some plays.” Willa handed Alessia her drink. “Thanks Willa, appreciate it.” 

Alessia counted down the minutes until training, it isn't that she hated her classes, it was just that she couldn’t stop thinking about getting back on the field. Her aim was always to get better, each session added to her knowledge. The second class was finished for the day she was walking to the field, after warm up she watched as Willa explained the drills that she did with her that morning. During the drills in the hot sun, the girls began complaining about getting tired, their shots got more sloppy and their passing became wayward. Coach Dorrance called training and they all came into a group together, Willa had a grin on her face as some girls sat down and others caught their breath. “Well, that was a fantastic session. Willa has been doing some work on what we have been lacking and how we can improve. I know you girls are tired but I will let her chat to you about what the aim was.”

Willa stepped forward half a step. “Each game goes for around 90 minutes, give or take with additional time. The training today was medium to high intensity for 120 minutes. That gives both Coach and I an idea of what level you can maintain and for how long. Your disposals and shots only became detrimental to the function of the drills in the last 5 minutes. We now know that you can last 115 minutes, at a very good intensity. This is going to give us an advantage, we will also be doing lighter sessions after game day and doing recovery but these punishing sessions will give you a mental and physical edge over our opponents. In those moments when the other team is fatiguing you will remember this training and other after this and you will know you can push further. Great session, have a shower and we will meet you in the theater for a film session.” Willa grabbed the drink bottles and passed them around to the players, when she got to Alessia he looked into her eyes. “Feel a bit better with more players?” Alessia took a large drink from her bottle and nodded. “Yeah I actually got a rest.” She said slightly out of breath after her drink. “Good, you did really great.” Willa went around to other players and chatted to them, giving them tips on their movements and positioning. Alessia noticed that Willa genuinely wanted each player to be better than they were at the start of the session, she seemed excited to be involved even if it was picking up cones or organising everything for the coach. 

As the girls got ready for the film session a few of them talked about Willa and how nice it was to have a cute girl coaching them and how they wouldn’t mind getting a few one on one sessions with her. Alessia laughed along with the girls, she was very attractive physically but it was her personality that seemed to be the best part of the Geordie. The girls made their way to the theatre and out the front stood Coach Dorrance, Willa sat up the back with a notepad, Alessia saw her and made her way next to her. “Can I sit here?” She paused as she looked at the girl. “Oh yes of course, I want to show you something.” She moved down a seat. “I will be going through with as many players as I can like this to make sure I cover everyone's game.” Alessia noticed that she flicked through her notebook which was divided for each player, she got to her and the first page was full of notes on her past season. “Last season you played as a very solid number 9, the player that would be the main option for goals, I don’t want that to change but I do want to have a look at your off the ball work.” As the game footage played, Coach Dorrance showed what the opposition did that North Carolina needed to address and work on for the off season. Willa focused on Alessia’s movement and where she would prefer her to move, “It is just as important what you do off the ball as what you do on it.” Alessia was captivated as she talked, Willa was captivated by the way Alessia played. They both admired each other's passion for the sport and their drive to make either themselves or their teams better. At the end of the film session the girls started leaving Willa and Alessia walked out together into the car park. “The scrimmage game in two days, I want you to focus on getting into those looser positions, drag those defenders out of the danger areas to allow a player to come through. They will want to follow you and not be aware of the danger that is coming. Trust me, then on the next play you come around the back and get to that back post for the cross and just knock it in. Easy as you like.” Alessia stared at her. “That easy?” She nodded. “They all know you, you will be marked tighter than a compression sock. Use it to your advantage. Goodnight Alessia, great work today” Alessia watched Willa walk back towards her car, she changed her line as she got closer and walked towards a black BMW parked with its lights on. Willa’s head dropped as she got into the car, Alessia watched and got into her own car. She had no idea whose car Willa had gotten into but it appeared she knew the person.

Johnny Lee Stallworth (born July 15, 1952) is a former football wide receiver who played for 14 seasons in the NFL for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played college football for the Alabama A&M Bulldogs and was the Steelers’ fourth-round draft pick in 1974. He played in six AFC championships, and went to four Super Bowls, winning all four. His career statistics included 537 receptions for 8,723 yards and 63 touchdowns. His reception total was a franchise record until 2005. He played in three Pro Bowls and was the Steelers’ two-time MVP. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

A native of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, he was an All-Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference receiver for Alabama A&M. He earned a BS in Business Administration and an MBA with a concentration in Finance from Alabama A&M University.

He was inducted into the Black College Football Hall of Fame.

He was selected 82nd overall in the fourth round of the 1974 NFL Draft, a class of which he was one of four Pittsburgh Steelers picks who would be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Scouts from various NFL teams observed him run the 40-yard dash on a wet track at Alabama A&M University and were disappointed by the results. He became a starter in his second season and held that job for the rest of his 165-game career. He battled a series of fibula, foot, ankle, knee, and hamstring injuries that forced him to miss 44 regular-season games.

He led the AFC with a career-high 1,395 yards gained on 80 receptions in 1984 when he was named the NFL Comeback Player of the Year. He helped the Steelers defeat Super Bowl champion San Francisco for that team’s only loss of the season and led the Steelers in a playoff run that featured an upset win over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional Playoffs at Denver’s Mile High Stadium.

He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August 2002. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Trump To Play MSG | Tucker Carlson’s Weird Daddy Issues | Beyoncé To Ral...

COOMENTARY:

When I go back from Vietnam in 1971, Tucker Carlson is what the corporatee chain of command looked like tom me, everywhere I looked. As Wisenhower Republican and an Army brat, I had intended to make the military a career as a Christian vocation, The idea of a career in the Fortune 500 was distincly  repulsive  to me, I was at Indina Univerity from June 1965  to June 1968, where I earned a commission in the infantyr, which was my mission in college. I was never even close to being like Benjamin in The Graduate: he was raised in the Contry Club Republican leave it to beaver culture,  Tucker Carlson is the poster boy of the Ivy League preppy girly boys of Project 2025. He is the personification of male white privilege and the anti-Mark Cuban CEI/ZenBusiness performance model of neo-liberaalism, \ Tueker Carlson represents the white people in America who agree with William V. Buckley's Negro Problem rebutall to James Baldwin in 1965 and nothing has changed. Tucker Carlson represents the white male Harvard MBA Graduates who are determined to sustain the tradition of homosexual reporduction of the Fortune 500 and the Project 2025 wing of the GOP. The Brett Kavanaugh carrer path. Now, on the other side of the campus cultural warfare were anti-war goons like Fetterman, only in a Che Guevera kind of way, As an Army brat, I am about as apoltical as George Marshall, except that i vote. And I have to try to earn a living in a society where being woke is little more than situational awarness. On the Ho Chi Minh Trail, paranoia is just another level of awareness. The difference between the liberal anti-war goons and thefascist  pro-war girly boy business majjors is that the liberals were determined to pursaude me to adopt idiological conformity when the concervatives just wanted an excuse to drag you behind a pickup in chains, on a Mississippi Burning basis, That hasn't changed, In the DEI culture of the military, you are used to having everyone around at your six, You may not like the people around you, but that's a personal problem and you need to stow fo the larger mission, In the Ivy League socialism of the anti-DEI Project 2025 business cultuure, the Survivor reality game show is based on the Project 2025 business culture. One of my observations about the MAgA universe is that they are used to working for bosses and CEOs more or less like Trump and they assume that's the way you earn a lving, That's what Benjamin of the Graduate wanted to escape by locking the wedding party in the church with the Cross of the Christian Nationalism of Country Club Republicans, Most of whom would have other priorites than military service without admitting they were scared shitless of going to Vietnam. So, Tucker brings back some warm memories, indeed

Walking the Tightrope: How Sikkim Manipal University Tackles the HR Privacy Puzzle

Consider if you were an HR manager. This employee is not performing. You have health records on them; all of it makes sense, can it? Do you look? Do you use that information? That's the ethical minefield that someday defines modern human resources. I'm old school in HR, and let me tell you, these ethical dilemmas keep me up at night more than my neighbors aspiring DJ careers. That's why I'm really, really impressed at how Sikkim Manipal Distance Education MBA is preparing this next generation of HR pros to navigate through these murky waters. Being recognized among the top distance MBA colleges in India, Sikkim Manipal’s program isn't just about textbook learning—it’s about developing the skills needed to handle the complexities of real-world HR challenges.

The Privacy Paradox

The thing is, companies need to operate off of data. They need to know if you're coming, doing the job, and not taking off with the coffee fund money. Employees? They like to keep their personal lives private. Its the textbook case of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. Sikkim Manipal understands that. They're not just instilling a culture of memorization of privacy laws in their students (which, frankly, is important enough too). They are going deep into the messy, real-world situations where HR professionals question their life choices every single day.

Case Studies: More Drama Than Your Favorite TV Show

One of the coolest things Sikkim Manipal does is use case studies. Not Grandpas hypothetical scenarios—more like ripped from the headlines, holy cow, this actually happened. I recently attended a class. There the professor introduced a scenario involving a company wellness program collecting health data that could possibly affect promotions. The debates that followed were hotter than my last attempt at making curry.

Students faced questions like:

· Is it permissible to use health data as part of employment decision-making?

· How do you balance the business interest in maintaining a healthy workforce against an employee's right to privacy?

· Suppose you know something that would benefit an employee but they have not volunteered that information. What do you do?

Well, easy answers there were not, and that was kind of the point.

Tech: The Double-Edged Sword

Now, lets add some high-tech magic to the mix. Sikkim Manipal is not just delivering HR 1.0 but also providing the new generation with AI-driven decision-making and algorithm-based productivity tracking.The curriculum addresses such vital questions as: How will HR tools, based on AI, not facilitate the perpetuation of bias?What are the ethical implications of productivity tracking software?How do you protect employee data in an age of constant cyber threats?Its enough to make your head spin, but these students are diving in headfirst. Theyre learning to be not just HR professionals, but ethicists, tech experts, and privacy advocates all rolled into one.

The Human Touch in a Digital World

And what really excites me about the Sikkim Manipal approach is that I never feel like they lose sight of the human element. Through all the pretty words about data and privacy and organizational needs, the focus always comes back to the individual employee.

They teach students how to openly share data usage, fight for the rights of employees, and make trust cultures. And why? At the end of the day, all fancy tech and worldwide data arent going to save you if your employees dont trust you.

Future of Ethical HR

Watching these students navigate complex ethical dilemmas gave me hope for the future of HR. They are not learning how to merely check boxes but rather to be critical thinkers, question assumptions, and always, always put people first. So next time when filling out that HR form and wondering whether they really need to know that, breathe a sigh of relief. Chances are the person on the other end of the paper is a Sikkim Manipal Distance MBA grad who has given a lot of thought to the very question.
