Professors held a discussion about the race from a local and national perspective in a media event at the university’s Beverly Rogers Literature and Law Building on Monday.

Monday morning, Gov. Brian Sandoval signed off on a domed stadium that could one day be home to the Raiders football team and a $1.4-billion expansion of the Las Vegas Convention Center on the Strip.
