A new study claims that people in non-monogamous relationships are just as happy as those with only one partner.
The analysis, published in The Journal of Sex Research on March 24, measured the difference in romantic satisfaction and sexual satisfaction between those practicing monogamy and those practicing non-monogamy.

Martin warned Treanor that his office wouldn't consider any Georgetown Law students for jobs, summer internships, or fellowships until the school dropped its DEI programs.
