When Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato took office in January, she assumed responsibility for about 50 county boards and commissions. As her administration makes new appointments, it faces a tricky balancing act weighing institutional knowledge against the opportunity to give other residents a turn at the table.

Also this week, PublicSource published two more stories in its Opening the Books series, a multi-part investigation into how the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University invest their billions. The latest stories look at grad student pay and the breakdown of tenure leading to greater reliance on adjuncts.
