  • Chicago's 2021 Reassessment: How Might Taxes Shift?
    CHICAGO’S 2021 REASSESSMENT: HOW MIGHT TAXES SHIFT? ULI Chicago Property Tax Incidence Task Force JUNE 2021 About Urban Land Institute Chicago The Urban Land Institute (ULI) is a global, member-driven organization dedicated to advancing the Institute’s mission: shape the future of the built environment for transformative impact in communities worldwide. ULI Chicago, a District Council of the Urban Land Institute, has over 1,400 members in the Chicago area representing all aspects of the real estate industry, including developers, property owners, investors, architects, planners, public officials, real estate brokers, appraisers, attorneys, engineers, financiers, and academics. ULI Chicago Property Tax Incidence Task Force Chicago’s 2021 Reassessment: How Might Taxes Shift? June 2021 Executive Summary Every property owner in Chicago wants to pay less in property taxes. They also want taxes to be fair and predictable. The real estate investment community was alarmed by the increases in proposed assessed value in the first portion of the County to be reassessed by newly elected Assessor Kaegi. The changes in assessed value and the uncertainty involved in City of Chicago reassessments due in 2021 for taxes payable in 2022 was believed to have a chilling effect on investor interest leading to a call to review the potential tax impact or incidence of the new practices when applied to the City of Chicago. This study—the result of a collaborative effort with the Chicago District Council of the Urban Land Institute, the City of Chicago, and the Cook County Assessor’s Office—constructs a hypothetical scenario of what fair assessment and taxation might have looked like and how it might impact different types of properties.

Scholarly communications and the role of the liberal arts college library By Diane J. Graves University Librarian and Professor Trinity University, San Antonio TX1 A little economic history The conversation on scholarly communication (often referred to as a “crisis”) has its origins in the mid- 1980s. At that time, the balance of trade between the United States and its trading partners in Europe was so far out of balance that American products could not compete internationally. The Reagan Administration, seeking to correct the problem, devalued the dollar at the so-called Plaza Accord on September 22, 1985.i In that moment, the price of journals in many Scientific, Technical, Engineering and Medical (STEM) fields, jumped—in some cases by as much as 25%. Many of the top journals were published by British or European for-profit houses, such as Pergamon, Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, Blackwell’s, Taylor & Francis, and others.

  • Lafayette College: Staying Ahead of the Game
    Vol. 15 LAFAYETTE COLLEGE: STAYING AHEAD OF THE GAME Lafayette College’s football history is as rich as it is varied, from laying claim to the the first use of the helmet in 1896, to the long standing rivalry with nearby Lehigh University dating back to 1884. But these days, it is the Leopards’ future that has taken on even greater importance. With the opening of the Bourger Varsity Football House, Lafayette’s team has entered into a league all its own. The 24,000 square-foot building, part of a $23 million stadium renovation, contains the team’s locker room, strength and conditioning areas, and sports medicine facilities, including a hydrother- apy room. The upper level houses coaches’ offices, each with a flat screen display for reviewing games, several meeting rooms equipped with custom control systems and full presentation capabilities, and one room large enough to accommodate the entire team. That area, which can also be divided into four separate units, features the same level of class- room technology found across the campus. “The experience we have with our smart classroom tech- nology allowed us to easily adapt to this rather unique setting with great results, ” stated E.J. Hudock, Academic Technology Facilities Manager for Lafayette. One of the very special features of the Bourger Varsity Football House is the highly personalized conference room on the second floor. The program- ming team at Vistacom worked with Lafayette to develop special graphic elements for the control system interface such as helmets for source buttons and a log in system utilizing the jersey numbers which are displayed on top of a Leopard’s jersey graphic.

  • America's Changing Mirror: How Popular Music Reflects Public
    AMERICA’S CHANGING MIRROR: HOW POPULAR MUSIC REFLECTS PUBLIC OPINION DURING WARTIME by Christina Tomlinson Campbell University Faculty Mentor Jaclyn Stanke Campbell University Entertainment is always a national asset. Invaluable in times of peace, it is indispensable in wartime. All those who are working in the entertainment industry are building and maintaining national morale both on the battlefront and on the home front. 1 Franklin D. Roosevelt, June 12, 1943 Whether or not we admit it, societies change in wartime. It is safe to say that after every war in America’s history, society undergoes large changes or embraces new mores, depending on the extent to which war has affected the nation. Some of the “smaller wars” in our history, like the Mexican-American War or the Spanish-American War, have left little traces of change that scarcely venture beyond some territorial adjustments and honorable mentions in our textbooks. Other wars have had profound effects in their aftermath or began as a result of a 1 Telegram to the National Conference of the Entertainment Industry for War Activities, quoted in John Bush Jones, The Songs that Fought the War: Popular Music and the Home Front, 1939-1945 (Lebanon, NH: University Press of New England, 2006), 31. catastrophic event: World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the current wars in the Middle East. These major conflicts create changes in society that are experienced in the long term, whether expressed in new legislation, changed social customs, or new ways of thinking about government. While some of these large social shifts may be easy to spot, such as the GI Bill or the baby boom phenomenon in the 1940s and 1950s, it is also interesting to consider the changed ways of thinking in modern societies as a result of war and the degree to which information is filtered.

    Trinity College Trinity College Digital Repository Senior Theses and Projects Student Scholarship Spring 2018 Using Institutional Characteristics to Estimate Return on College Education Nate Choukas Trinity College, Hartford Connecticut, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/theses Part of the Econometrics Commons Recommended Citation Choukas, Nate, "Using Institutional Characteristics to Estimate Return on College Education". Senior Theses, Trinity College, Hartford, CT 2018. Trinity College Digital Repository, https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/theses/710 Running Head: ESTIMATING RETURN ON COLLEGE EDUCATION Using Institutional Characteristics to Estimate Return on College Education Nathaniel R. Choukas Trinity College ESTIMATING RETURN ON COLLEGE EDUCATION 2 Abstract Since the 1980s, the college wage-premium in the United States has reached all time highs. As a result, college education is a critical benchmark in securing high paying jobs. While the bachelor’s degree serves as a gateway into more lucrative careers, postsecondary education can be very costly, with some taking on substantial amounts of debt to finance their schooling. Despite the increasing wage-premium, there is an even wider earnings disparity amongst college graduates than between graduates and non-graduates. Research on higher education returns suggests that most individuals – even those ranked as having low ability – benefit financially from their investment in education. At the institutional level; however, some schools produce median returns on investment that are well below zero. This begs the question, why are a considerable number of the nation’s higher education institutions underserving their students? I use OLS to test the hypothesis that schools in rural settings displaced from major cities, and with religious affiliation will be critical variables in explaining college return on investment.

  • Los Angeles Vacation Planner: How to Eat Your Way Around LA In
    Filipino star Ma'am Sir is one of LA's best new restaurants | Fried Chicken Sandwich Studios Filipino star Ma'am Sir is one of LA's best new restaurants | Fried Chicken Sandwich Studios TRAVEL Presented By It may come as a bit of a shock that Los Angeles, a place often imagined for beach bodies and plastic surgery, would be the ultimate destination for a vacation based around eating, but life is full of surprises. You’ll hear stories about how LA has “finally” figured out our culinary scene in the last few years (thanks for the pity visit, Michelin!), but the fact is that the city has always had a killer food scene. This is a city where ex-Nobu busboys open their own Mexican sushi restaurants , a city that essentially jump-started the food truck revolution (thanks Roy Choi!). It's where you can turn a quiet corner corner and walk directly into the heart of a Guatemalan street food market, or find world’s-best-sushi contenders in the dusty corners of a strip mall. LA is stuffed top to bottom with incredible things to eat. It's also, you know, one of America's biggest and most vibrant cities. And one of the best ways to see LA at its best is through the lens of food -- something that makes LA one of the 20 Best Places for a Big Trip in 2020 . In this guide, we’re talking about the Los Angeles of 2020. We're not sending you to Rodeo Drive, the Walk of Fame, old-world LA legacy restaurants, or any of Wolfgang Puck’s Beverly Hills establishments.
