Roosevelt University deleted his faculty page. “He’s never been a professor here,” a spokeswoman told me when I called to ask why. “He tutored one student for a little while in 2016, that’s it.”
I started digging into Wolf’s role in the U.S. State Department. He indeed has served in dozens of countries, and he has framed certificates in his office commending him for his service in Guinea and in the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina. He also toured with former secretary of state Condeleezza Rice.
Other claims were harder to verify. Officials with the State Department declined to comment on whether he had been “appointed a Presidential Envoy” or served as “a United Nations liason” or “personal staff member to multiple Secretaries of State,” as a Wolf campaign press release says.
But a State Department agent who’d served with Wolf in West Africa (and asked not to be named) cast doubt on some of claims made by Wolf on his LinkedIn page. Wolf says he was a “security and human rights attache [who] acted as the lead area expert within … West Africa providing both information to the ambassador of the United States and the National Security Council.”

LCB Communications Licensees, This message is to update you on the marijuana traceability project and some tools that we hope your find useful. Yesterday, LCB staff and members of the Marijuana Traceability Advisory Group sat down together to discuss communication and how we can improve the flow of communication and how licensees can receive it. Below are some takeaways from that meeting… Commercial Email Delivery Sending to Junk Folder Of course, if that is happening, you won’t be seeing this email right away. However, if you are receiving these and hear from others who are not, please let them know that this may be why. If you see our email messages are populating in your junk folder, it’s just a matter of adding them to your “safe list.” Tools for Licensees
Going Forward Beginning next week, LCB will send a weekly status update to licensees with updated documents when possible and any timelines that we can commit to. We’ll continue to work to provide you with useful information and specific timelines where possible. And lastly, one common issue is the terminology used by the various third-party commercial integrators, Leaf Data Systems, and the LCB is often different. The LCB will take the lead in putting together a “data dictionary” that will attempt to link common terms with synonyms to minimize confusion. Thank you for your time and review. |
