BUSINESS NEWS

CRIME NEWS

  • Three Chattanooga men were arrested after they led officers on a high-speed chase along Holtzclaw Avenue that ended when Travale Davenport crashed his car after hitting a guardrail—officers later finding drugs, firearms and empty bottles labeled 'Promethazine Hydrochloride'.  News Channel 9

EDUCATION NEWS

  • Elizabeth Barnes, a biology professor at Middle Tennessee State University, said she faces challenges teaching evolution because many students think accepting it means rejecting faith—her 2022 study showed that half of the biology students held this view and she stresses that science is meant to explore natural phenomena without settling religious questions.  Chattanooga Times Free Press

FINANCE NEWS

(FICO) will launch a new credit score model called FICO 10 BNPL later this fall that will include buy now, pay later loans in its calculations, addressing the rapid growth of these loans over the past five years.
