Getty Unveils First Details of Its Campus-Wide Modernization
The suite of projects will enhance the arrival journey to the Getty Center
*
Following the April 2026 announcement of investments to elevate visitor experience, enhance accessibility, strengthen energy resilience, and support long-term stewardship, Getty has revealed plans to improve the arrival journey to its iconic Getty Center campus. It includes upgrades to the arrival/parking area (Lower Tram), replacement of the tram itself,and renovation of the Center's Welcome Hall at the top of the hill, all integrated seamlessly and respectfully into the existing design by Richard Meier and Partners.
Visitors arriving at the Getty Center will experience a more gracious and efficient entry experience designed by Gehry Partners, reflecting the needs of today's audiences--more than 1.4 million visitors annually, and nearly six times the number of school visits anticipated when the Center opened in 1997. Landscaping designed by OLIN will be expanded throughout the Lower Tram and arrival areas, creating a welcoming green space that will feature a new sheltered stairway, reinstalled outdoor sculptures, contemporary art commissions, a garden cafe, and a retail space. A reconfigured circulation plan and security checkpoint will also ease tram departures and arrivals.
The Getty tram itself, which has carried millions of visitors from the arrival point off Interstate 405 to the Center's hilltop campus, has been in use since 1997 and is showing its age. It will be replaced with a newly designed and more comfortable model with increased visitor capacity to help reduce wait time. The new tram, including its cars and propulsion system, is manufactured by Doppelmayr, among the world's leading designers and suppliers of automated shuttles used in airports and transit centers in cities including London, Venice, Toronto, Oakland, and Mexico City.
Upon reaching the top of the hill at the Getty Center, visitors will enter a significantly upgraded Welcome Hall designed by WHY Architecture, with enhanced wayfinding to orient them for their journeys across the campus and amenities that encourage them to linger and relax. Features of the Welcome Hall will include a large information screen and desk that will greet visitors, and an expanded bookstore that opens onto a new full-service cafe.
Tim Whalen, John E. and Louise Bryson Director of the Getty Conservation institute and Vice President of Institutional Planning for the J. Paul Getty Trust, said, "Since its opening in 1997, the Getty Center has become an enduring cultural landmark in Los Angeles. This comprehensive program of campus-wide upgrades will strengthen the site's sustainability and accessibility, reaffirming our long-term commitment to its stewardship through sustained investment in maintenance, while elevating the quality, comfort, and depth of our visitors' experience."
The first phase of the Getty Center's modernization has already begun, with some gallery closures to accommodate upgrades to the campus HVAC system, among other gallery improvement projects. These upgrades will improve Getty's energy efficiency and advance its broader sustainability commitments. Additional enhancements will be detailed at a later date.
To complete these projects, the Center will temporarily close to the public beginning March 15, 2027, with reopening planned for spring 2028. During the closure, Getty will continue to collaborate on programs with partners across Los Angeles, the United States, and internationally, while offering more ways for audiences to engage with art at the Getty Villa.
The Villa will continue to present a full schedule of exhibitions, public programs, and events, inviting visitors to connect with Ancient Greek and Roman art while enjoying the Villa's architecture, tranquil gardens, and scenic views. During this period, the Villa will also introduce new offerings for visitors, including a gallery featuring a selection of the museum's collection at the Getty Center, giving visitors the opportunity to experience beloved works of art in a new context while improvements at the Center are underway.
As these modernization efforts unfold, follow along with the latest modernization updates and announcements (https://www.getty.edu/about/building-gettys-future/).

FFRF halts teacher-led Christian club at Indiana high school
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has made certain that the Mooresville Schools system in Indiana has ended an instructor-led religious club known as "BetterMan."
A concerned member of the community informed FFRF that the school's choir director had started a "BetterMan study" for Mooresville High School students. According to its website, BetterMan is "a Christian organization" that provides "an 11-week group study on theessentials of biblical manhood and how men can live it out at home, at work, with friends and with God." The group's guide for leaders makes clear the program is intended to convert participants to Christianity: "True transformation will come from God working in men's lives. The Gospel will be clearly shared after Session 6 and that is a great opportunity to make sure you know where each guy in your group is with Jesus. Call any man who lacks faith to believe in Him!"
FFRF communicated with the school district asking for an investigation and to ensure that none of its staff members were unconstitutionally sponsoring religious activities in its schools. "To avoid encouraging or coercing students into participating in a religious club, the district may not allow staff to be involved in student religious clubs beyond a supervisory capacity," FFRF Staff Attorney Madeline Ziegler wrote to Superintendent Jake Allen.
It is inappropriate and unconstitutional for the district to allow staff-led religious clubs, FFRF emphasized in its letter. Public schools may not show favoritism toward, or coerce belief in or participation in, religion. It is both inappropriate and unconstitutional for public school teachers to promote, lead and organize a religious club for students and use their position at a public school to attempt to convert their students to their personal religion. This not only violates the First Amendment rights of students, but it also needlessly alienates all students and families who do not subscribe to Christianity, including the more than half of Generation Z members (those born after 1996) who are non-Christian, including the 43 percent who are nonreligious.
Allen emailed FFRF back with a positive response after the district conducted a review of the matter to bring itself back into alignment with the First Amendment.
"As part of that review, district administration met with the staff member referenced in your correspondence and provided clear direction regarding the constitutional and legal limitations applicable to employee involvement in student religious activities," Allen wrote. "Specifically, staff members were reminded that any student religious organizations or gatherings on school grounds must be student-initiated and student-led, and that employees may only be present in a nonparticipator supervisory capacity consistent with federal law and district expectations."
FFRF is pleased to see its dedication to students' rights pay off once again.
"We firmly believe that students do not need biblical teaching to make them 'better' people," FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor says. "But students who desire such instruction are free to seek it from their families and churches. What students need in our public schools is a learning environment free from preaching and welcoming to all, religious and nonreligious alike."

FFRF examining reports of House speaker's midterm coordination with churches
The Freedom From Religion Foundation is scrutinizing disturbing reports of House Speaker Mike Johnson's coordinated political activity with pastors ahead of the midterm elections.
As first reported by Right Wing Watch, Christian nationalist evangelist David Herzog revealed during a recent appearance on the "Elijah Streams" program that pastors attending the Trump administration's "National Jubilee of Prayer,Praise & Thanksgiving" event on the National Mall were invited to a private briefing with Johnson and MAGA pastor Lorenzo Sewell. According to Herzog, Johnson urged the pastors to politically mobilize their congregations in support of the administration's agenda and Republican midterm election efforts, stressing that churches and religious leaders were essential to advancing the movement's goals.
Herzog described Johnson as telling pastors that churches and religious leaders would make the "difference" in determining whether the country "is going to go one way or the other" and emphasized the need for churches to "spread" the Trump administration's message and mobilize the vote to preserve President Trump's political power.
If his claims are accurate, this raises profound constitutional and legal concerns.
"The federal government may not use official events, public resources or political access to organize churches as partisan campaign machines," says FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor. "Herzog describes the man who is third in line to be president as essentially promising select Christian churches the fulfillment of their Christian nationalist dreams if they can deliver in the midterms."
Also alarming are Herzog's claims that administration officials promised pastors access to "billions of dollars" in government funding for church-run programs. Those remarks come amid a broader push by the Trump administration to steer taxpayer-funded social services through religious organizations, including recent efforts by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to recruit faith-based groups for federally funded addiction and behavioral health programs.
"Directing taxpayer money to politically aligned churches while encouraging them to function as electoral organizing hubs represents a dangerous fusion of church and state," says FFRF Legal Director Patrick Elliott. "Americans should be deeply troubled by any effort to transform houses of worship into government-favored political actors."
Herzog additionally framed the effort as part of a broader campaign to preserve Christian nationalist political control, warning pastors about Democrats taking power and invoking inflammatory rhetoric about Muslims and "Sharia law." He described the administration as handing churches "the baton" to advance Trump's agenda.
FFRF is currently evaluating the potential legal and constitutional implications of the reported activities, including possible violations involving partisan political coordination, misuse of government resources, preferential treatment of religious organizations and threats to church-state separation.
The federal government serves and should represent all Americans, not just conservative Christians. Using religion as a political weapon undermines both democracy and religious liberty.

Rockefeller Foundation Adds David Beasley to Board of Trustees
Former South Carolina Governor and WFP Executive Director Joins Board as Global Hunger Crisis Deepens
-
The Rockefeller Foundation announced today that The Honorable David Beasley will serve on its Board of Trustees starting in June. A former Governor of South Carolina and Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), Governor Beasley was nominated to the WFP role by two U.S. presidential administrationsfrom different parties. He joins The Rockefeller Foundation as global food systems face mounting strain and humanitarian needs continue to rise. With decades of leadership and experience steering institutions through complex crises, he brings an unmatched record of translating humanitarian urgency into action -- from the statehouse to the frontlines of global food crises.
"David Beasley has spent decades at the intersection of leadership, crisis response, and global impact," said Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, President of The Rockefeller Foundation. "His strategic perspective, dedication to the most vulnerable, and firsthand experience mobilizing resources and galvanizing international coalitions to address hunger make him an invaluable voice as we work to build more resilient and equitable food systems around the world. We are honored to welcome him to our Board."
Governor Beasley brings deep expertise in global food systems and humanitarian response to the Foundation's Board. The timing of his appointment is underscored by a deteriorating global landscape. According to the 2026 Global Report on Food Crises, more than 266 million people across 47 countries faced high levels of acute food insecurity last year -- nearly double the share recorded a decade ago. This crisis is compounding at precisely the moment when the resources to address it are shrinking: global official development assistance (ODA) fell by 23% in real terms in 2025, the sharpest single-year contraction ever recorded, with humanitarian aid falling nearly 36%. Private philanthropy and cross-sector partnerships will be essential to filling that gap.
"The Rockefeller Foundation has a century-long legacy of tackling humanity's greatest challenges, and I'm deeply honored to join its Board at such a critical moment," said Governor Beasley. "Hunger and food insecurity are not inevitable -- they are solvable problems that demand bold leadership and strategic investment. I look forward to contributing to the Foundation's vital work and helping to connect resources, partners, and political will to those who need it most."
Governor Beasley served as Governor of South Carolina (1995-1999), where he led reforms across education, welfare, and criminal justice, oversaw more than $22 billion in investment and 110,000 new jobs, and launched major infrastructure initiatives, including the South Carolina Infrastructure Bank.
"David Beasley is exactly the kind of leader this moment demands," said Admiral James Stavridis, U.S. Navy Admiral (retired) and Chair of The Rockefeller Foundation Board of Trustees. "He has navigated famine, conflict, and political complexity at the highest levels -- and he has done so by bringing people together rather than pushing them apart. His experience and drive to find solutions will make our Board and The Rockefeller Foundation's mission significantly stronger."
Governor Beasley served as Executive Director of the WFP from 2017 to 2023, having been nominated by two U.S. presidential administrations from different parties and appointed by the UN Secretary-General. Under his leadership, WFP became the world's largest humanitarian organization, assisting over 160 million people in 2022 and raising more than $55 billion to combat global hunger. In 2020, he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of WFP for its efforts to provide food assistance in conflict areas and prevent food from being used as a weapon of war.
Governor Beasley, who holds a J.D. from the University of South Carolina School of Law, began his public service career in the South Carolina House of Representatives, where he was elected at age 21 -- one of the youngest in state history. He went on to serve for 13 years in the State House, including as House Majority Leader and Speaker Pro Tempore.

NEW YORK, May 28 -- The Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation issued the following news release:

Cellular pathway suggests mechanism of chemotherapy resistance
Purines, namely adenine and guanine, are one of two chemical compounds that cells use to make the building blocks of DNA and RNA. (The other are pyrimidines, cytosine and thymine.) Cells can make purines in two ways: by building them from scratch, known as "de novo purine biosynthesis," or by recycling them from existing molecules, known as "purine salvage." When the salvage pathway is active, it signals to the cell to slow downthe biosynthesis pathway so that the cell does not make too many purines. Until recently, scientists did not fully understand how this slowdown happens.
But new research from Damon Runyon Clinical Investigator Ralph J. DeBerardinis, MD, PhD, and his team, including Damon Runyon SPARK Fellow Imani M. Williams, shows that a protein called NUDT5 plays a key role in controlling this balance. During purine salvage, NUDT5 binds to another an enzyme called PPAT, which drives purine biosynthesis. When NUDT5 attaches to PPAT, it causes PPAT to clump together and become less active. It also helps break apart a larger enzyme complex (the "purinosome") that normally boosts purine production. Together, these effects shut down excess purine synthesis.
When the researchers disrupted the connection between NUDT5 and PPAT, the cell could no longer properly slow purine production during recycling. This led to overproduction of purines and made cells resistant to certain chemotherapy drugs called thiopurines.
By illuminating the role of NUDT5 as a regulatory switch that keeps purine biosynthesis and purine salvage in balance, the team has also revealed a mechanism of drug resistance in cancer cells--and a potential means of overcoming it.
This research was published in Science (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41196949/).

SAN DIEGO, California, May 28 (TNSrpt) -- The San Diego Foundation posted the following news release:
* * *
$500,000 Grant Will Help Keep More Than 150 San Diego Households from Falling Into Homelessness
*
Up to 155 San Diego households at risk of homelessness will receive short-term support to stay housed through a $500,000 grant to the San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) announced today by the Partnership to Protect San Diegans, a collaboration between the County of San Diego and San Diego Foundation (SDF).
This grant comes at a time when housing and homelessness service providers acrossthe region are facing federal, state and local funding pressure as community needs continue to rise, according to SDHC's FY 2025-2026 Budget Report.
"We launched the Partnership to Protect San Diegans because shifting federal priorities are tearing holes in the safety net, and San Diego cannot wait to act," said San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chair Terra Lawson-Remer. "I'm grateful to San Diego Foundation, the San Diego Housing Commission, and our community partners for showing how local government, philanthropy and trusted service providers can move quickly together to prevent homelessness before it starts and keep San Diegans housed, healthy and stable."
The Partnership to Protect San Diegans was first approved by the County Board of Supervisors in November 2025 and officially launched in March 2026. The initiative is an innovative public-private philanthropic partnership focused on strengthening critical safety-net services across the region.
"When public agencies, philanthropy and community partners work together, we can respond faster and help more San Diegans stay housed," said Mark Stuart, President and CEO, San Diego Foundation. "This grant helps us reach families before a temporary setback becomes a long-term crisis."
The grant will leverage existing Homelessness Diversion resources to provide up to 155 households experiencing or at imminent risk of homelessness with short-term support to avoid or transition out of crisis response systems and into stable housing.
Over the 12-month grant period, SDHC will:
* Enroll 155 households experiencing a housing crisis
* Secure permanent housing for at least 93% of those households
* Help at least 90% of participating households stay housed for six months or more after exiting the program
"Prevention and diversion programs effectively help families in crisis to stay in their homes or quickly return to longer-term housing, with less cost than other homelessness programs and less trauma for families on the cusp of homelessness," said Lisa Jones, President and CEO of the San Diego Housing Commission. "We thank the Partnership to Protect San Diegans for awarding the critical resources needed to serve 155 families and for their collaboration with us to support families to achieve the stable housing they need to thrive in our community."
Households seeking housing assistance or community members interested in learning more about available housing-stability resources can visit www.sdhc.org for additional information and support services.
Partnership to Protect San Diegans is a collaboration between the County of San Diego and San Diego Foundation focused on strengthening critical safety-net services during periods of funding uncertainty. The initiative is supported in part through San Diego Unity Fund, San Diego Foundation's rapid-response fund supporting nonprofits working in housing stability, food security and healthcare access.
