Examples of transparency in a Sentence

1. Jasmine Joof:

   It makes me sad that Howard University would treat me like this, the living conditions, the lack of transparency with the administration really sucks. They are actively standing on our backs saying they want to create student leaders... and they are ignoring us.

2. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte:

   We are facing a national emergency. We chose from the beginning to take the line of truth and transparency and now we're moving with lucidity and courage, with firmness and determination, we have to limit the spread of the virus and prevent our hospitals from being overwhelmed.

3. Marie Schubert:

   Allowing the early release of the most dangerous criminals, shortening sentences as much as 50%, impacts crime victims and creates a serious public safety risk, this petition asks CDCR to repeal these regulations, begin the process anew, and allow for transparency and public input. Victims, their families, and all Californians deserve a fair and honest debate about the wisdom of such drastic regulations.

4. Paul Rennison:

   Transparency leads to confidence which is always a positive, only time will tell how effective this will be in meeting the goals set out by the regulator. October 7 is only the start of reporting and the environment will continue to evolve.
