The University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) will receive a $1.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to create a Tier-1 university transportation center (UTC) to improve rail infrastructure in Nevada and throughout the country, U.S. Sen.

UNLV President Len Jessup says university officials should think twice before hosting another presidential debate now that they know the pricetag for providing the venue for the Oct. 19 faceoff between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

A UNLV math instructor who came under fire for comments he made about wanting to report undocumented immigrants in his classroom has since apologized and now claims it was a bad joke.

UNLV says it is looking into online comments about illegal immigration attributed to a part-time instructor quoted as saying there are “no safe spaces” in his class and seeming to suggest he would turn in undocumented students to immigration officials.

A part-time math instructor at UNLV has embroiled the university in a national immigration debate that was a focus of the presidential campaign and appears to have been reignited across the country in recent days.
