Ex-council president ordered to pay restitution, fine

By The Associated Press

WILMINGTON, Del. — A former Wilmington City Council president convicted of funneling public money to a nonprofit he controlled has been ordered to repay some of that money.

The News Journal reports that Theo Gregory, who was convicted in November of official misconduct, was ordered to pay $12,000 in restitution and a $1,000 fine on Friday.

The case against Gregory stems from a $40,000 grant that went to a nonprofit he founded and his wife helps run.

Prosecutors alleged that Gregory routed money to a nonprofit that paid him a salary after he left office in 2017.

Gregory’s defense said he didn’t benefit from the award since he donated money and services equal to or greater than that amount.

Stress in college students: What to know

By U.S. News & World Report
From paying for school and taking exams to filling out internship applications, college students can face overwhelming pressure and demands. Some stress can be healthy and even motivating under the proper circumstances, but often stress is overwhelming and can lead to other issues. "Stress is there for a reason. It's there to help mobilize you to meet the demands of your day, but you're also supposed to have times where you do shut down and relax and repair and restore," says Emma K. Adam, professor of human development and social policy at Northwestern University in Illinois.
