One way to solve this, I think, is to separate types of Current
Events, and then to give the "academic" CE its own 1/1 (or whatever),
but make it a subcategory of History. I mean, aren't they simply
questions on history that happened recently? The best way to treat
them is to write them as history questions.
As for questions on businesses, what to do with them? I for one
don't want them cluttering up the trash distribution, and don't think
they belong there... general knowledge? Myself, I'd be happy to do
away with them altogether, but I'm sure someone has some attachment
to them...
