Students using Google software in schools will not be allowed to use Google search unless their school system also provides them access to artificial intelligence tools. The tech giant announced the decision Tuesday. The Mountain View, California, company has been facing pushback from educators, child development experts and parents since it announced in August that it had turned on its Gemini chatbot for many K-12 students who use Google Classroom. In its new announcement, it said that would no longer be the default option for school administrators, but opting out of AI tools means losing access to Google search.

A frantic 911 call from the man who fatally shot a 16-year-old shooter at an Oregon elementary school has been released. Kaylub Giamanco told the 911 operator there was “someone with a gun” at the school his daughter attends. The audio from the tense call lasting a little more than a minute was released Tuesday. Giamanco said he had a gun and would shoot the person. The operator urged him not to act and to wait for police. Giamanco reported the shooter entering the building and firing. The call ended as the operator tried to gather more information.

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Harvard University over its alleged failure to provide admissions records that the Justice Department demanded to ensure the Ivy League school stopped using affirmative action in admissions. The Justice Department said Harvard thwarted its efforts to investigate potential discrimination. The department accused Harvard of refusing to comply with a federal investigation and asked a judge to order the university to turn over the records. But U.S. District Judge Myong Joun concluded the department didn't take the necessary procedural steps to get the data before filing the lawsuit.

The college basketball season tips off with many players unexpectedly gaining an extra year of eligibility. They have received injunctions from courts in various states after the NCAA adopted a new five-year eligibility model that did not apply to them as they wrapped up their playing careers last season. As of last week, the NCAA reported about 200 lawsuits involving 850 athletes. So far, most of the courts — though not all — have sided with athletes seeking another year of eligibility. But nothing has been definitively decided as the season gets underway, leaving coaches to wonder whether their players will remain eligible through March.

High schools at the heart of the movement reopen Monday after their autumn break.

In Paris, rioters targeted police with Molotov cocktails at the end of Saturday’s march on the city’s eastern edge, injuring three officers and setting a car ablaze.
