  • New England Law Boston: Updated 9-18 Institutions Wishing to Use Off
    Application: New England Law Boston: Updated 9-18 Institutions wishing to use off-campus spaces for de-densification purposes should submit a 2-3 page document with the following sections and addressing the topics listed in each section below. Applications must be submitted to Nupoor Monani ( [email protected]) and will be accepted starting Monday, July 13th, 2020. Overall de-densification and isolation and quarantine strategy A narrative stating how off-campus occupancy helps the institution meet social distancing standards set forth by City/State/Federal public health guidance, and plans to isolate and quarantine members of the school community as necessary. New England Law | Boston has developed a Return to Campus Plan (see attached) designed to bring our community back to campus safely, in accordance with best practices and evolving government guidelines, while also preserving the educational quality of the law school experience. Essential to this Plan is the de-densifying of our main campus building at 154 Stuart Street, which we are operating at less than 25 % capacity. To accomplish this goal, the Law School sought out and rented, on a short-term basis, auxiliary classroom space in the Revere Hotel’s 6,400 square foot main ballroom. This space is adjacent to the Law School, has a dedicated point of access, and a regular capacity of 950 (per Boston Inspectional Services Occupancy Certificate), which will be used at less than 6% capacity. This space is dedicated exclusively as a classroom for the 258 students (split into five groups) in the incoming class who elected in-person learning.

  • Student Housing Trends 2017-2018 Academic Year
    Student Housing Trends 2017-2018 Academic Year Boston’s world-renowned colleges and universities provide our City and region with unparalleled cultural resources, a thriving economic engine, and a talented workforce at the forefront of global innovation. However, the more than 147,000 students enrolled in Boston-based undergraduate and graduate degree programs place enormous strain on the city’s residential housing market, contributing to higher rents and housing costs for Boston’s workforce. In Housing a Changing City: Boston 2030, the Walsh Administration outlined three clear strategic goals regarding student housing: 1. Create 18,500 new student dormitory beds by the end of 2030;1 2. Reduce the number of undergraduates living off-campus in Boston by 50%;2 3. Ensure all students reside in safe and suitable housing. The annual student housing report provides the opportunity to review the trends in housing Boston’s students and the effect these students are having on Boston’s local housing market. This report is based on data from the University Accountability Reports (UAR) submitted by Boston-based institutions of higher education.3 In this edition of Student Housing Trends,4 data improvements have led to more precise enrollment and off-campus data, allowing the City to better distinguish between students that are or are not having an impact on the private housing market. The key findings are: ● • Overall enrollment at Boston-based colleges and universities is 147,689. This represents net growth of just under 4,000 (2.8%) students since 2013, and a 2,300+ (1.6%) student increase over last year.

  • How Many Connecticut College Alumni Earn Graduate Or Professional Degrees?
    How Many Connecticut College Alumni Earn Graduate or Professional Degrees? John D. Nugent Office of Institutional Research and Planning March 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We used National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) data to determine how many Connecticut College alumni earn graduate or professional degrees within about 10 years of graduating. NSC data showed 637 (47%) of the 1,367 graduates of the Classes of 2007, 2008, and 2009 earned a total of 711 graduate or professional degrees as of January 2019. In descending order of frequency, 67% of these were master’s degrees (n=477) 12% were law degrees (n=85), 9% were business degrees (n=62), 6% were doctorates (n=46), and another 6% were medical degrees (n=41). Because several dozen 2007‐2009 graduates were still enrolled in degree programs as of the Spring 2019 semester, and because NSC data include only U.S. colleges and universities, it is safe to conclude that about half of these alumni will ultimately have earned one or more post‐baccalaureate degrees. Most 2007‐2009 graduates who went on to receive a medical, law or business degree waited at least two years after their graduation from Conn before enrolling in the program. The average elapsed time before beginning a degree program in medicine, law, or business was 26 months, 27 months, and 48 months, respectively. Using the federal government’s Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) categories, the ten most common academic fields in which these alumni earned graduate or professional degrees were Health Professions and Related Programs (n=110 degrees); Education (n=104); Legal Professions and Studies (n=86); Business Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services (n=81); Public Administration and Social Service Professions (n=63); Psychology (n=52); Social Sciences (n=37); Visual and Performing Arts (n=26); Biological and Biomedical Sciences (n=20); Architecture and Related Services (n=15); and Physical Sciences (n=15).

  • STATEMENT of LAWYERS and LEGAL SCHOLARS AGAINST U.S. SANCTIONS on ICC INVESTIGATORS of ATROCITIES June 2020 As Lawyers and Lega
    STATEMENT OF LAWYERS AND LEGAL SCHOLARS AGAINST U.S. SANCTIONS ON ICC INVESTIGATORS OF ATROCITIES June 2020 As lawyers and legal scholars with experience in the fields of international law and national security, we urge the President to rescind his June 11 Executive Order targeting investigators and prosecutors of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Order authorizes asset freezes and visa denials against ICC lawyers and officials who investigate U.S. personnel, including military and CIA personnel for alleged torture, rape, and other war crimes in Afghanistan, and relatedly at CIA “black sites” in Lithuania, Poland and Romania. All of these States are Parties to the ICC, an international court to which 123 countries – including our democratic allies in Europe and nations such as Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, Japan, South Africa and South Korea – are parties. The ICC is authorized by its statute to prosecute genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, committed on the territories of its State Parties. The undersigned have a diversity of views on the ICC and its Afghanistan investigation. However, we share the conviction that sanctioning ICC lawyers for carrying out their responsibilities to investigate atrocities is wrong in principle, contrary to American values, and prejudicial to U.S. national security. U.S. sanctions have long been legitimately imposed on terrorists, international criminals, and gross violators of human rights. But targeting ICC lawyers – and in some cases their families – punishes the very people who investigate atrocities. Seeking to intimidate investigators and punish prosecutors perverts the purpose and undermines the legitimacy of sanctions. The Afghanistan investigation is not a case of runaway prosecutors.

  • Neither Facial Aggressiveness Nor Facial Width to Height Ratio Are Related to Fighting Success
    Neither facial aggressiveness nor facial width to height ratio are related to fighting success Thomas Richardson, Anam Bhutta, Elena Bantoft, R. Tucker Gilman Abstract There is a growing consensus that there is information in a man’s face about how formidable (big and strong) he is. Recent work in mixed martial artists has shown that there may be facial correlates of fighting success. Fighters with more aggressive looking faces, as well as higher facial width to height ratios (fWHR), win a greater percentage of their fights. This has been used as evidence that human males may have evolved to signal and detect formidability using facial features. However, all previous studies have used datasets that may have considerable overlap, so it is important to replicate these effects in new samples. Moreover, some studies show that facial width to height ratio is correlated with body size, which may have confounded associations between fWHR and fighting success. The present study attempted to replicate and expand previous findings in 3 samples totalling several hundred professional fighters taken from several combat sporting leagues. I also tested whether head tilt affected ratings of aggressiveness, as previous studies have found conflicting effects. Overall, I found no significant links between fighting success and fWHR or facial aggressiveness. Tilting the head up or down both made a fighter’s face look more aggressive. Interestingly, there was only low- moderate agreement between raters on the apparent aggressiveness of a given face. Further, I found that facial width to height ratio was related to body size, and that body size mediated the link between fWHR and perceived aggression.
