Northeast Ohio colleges and universities are hopeful about fall enrollments
Prospective students and their families take a tour of Kent State University.
Last fall brought steep enrollment drops for higher education institutions across the country during the pandemic. Officials at some of Northeast Ohio's colleges and universities are hopeful the tide turns this fall.
But suddenly boosting enrollment isn't simple, even as campuses open up.
The pandemic's disproportionate impact on women and communities of color continues to be felt. A think-tank survey of college students earlier this spring reported 65% said higher education is losing its value. Completions of the FAFSA, the financial aid form that offers funding for students in need or those from underrepresented groups, are down 5% nationally from this time last year.
And don't forget about the hurdles that existed pre-pandemic, including Ohio's dwindling number of high school graduates. For instance, Youngstown State University officials cited regional demographic declines as one reason why applications are down.
The university is projecting a 5% decrease in enrollment in the fall. That's a point larger than the drop YSU saw last fall that brought its full-time enrollment to 9,739 students. It's bigger than the 4% decline the University of Akron is forecasting for the upcoming semester, too.
Plus, there's the economy. The opportunity cost for going to college has changed over the past 90 days, said Kent State University president Todd Diacon. He's not complaining, he said. He's glad to see people finding work with higher wages. It's just a situation he said he has never seen before.
"It's one thing to say, 'Well, I'm not going to take a minimum wage job to go to college,' " he said. "It's another thing to say, 'I'm not going to take a job that pays me $20 an hour to go to college.'"
Diacon projects Kent State will come "very close" to meeting its goal of enrolling a freshman class of about 4,000 students. Fall 2020's full-time enrollment dropped 4%. KSU has the largest full-time enrollment in the region, at about 27,000 students.
Like their peers, Kent officials got creative with outreach to prospective students. It included efforts such as hosting prospective student events at drive-in movie theaters. There's the new "Flashes Go Further" scholarship, which will cover unmet need for in-state freshmen and sophomores who have an expected family contribution of $10,000 or less. Juniors and seniors will be eligible for some aid, too.
Diacon estimated the university will see a decline in returning students, though. It goes back, at least reportedly for some, to the job market. He has heard about students in professional programs who have been offered full employment from summer internships even before graduation.
The job market is affecting students at Cleveland State University, too. Jonathan Wehner, vice president and dean of admissions, enrollment management, and student success, remains "cautiously optimistic" for the university's projections.
Cleveland State saw its full-time enrollment drop 2% to about 12,112 students in fall 2020. Wehner said models for the upcoming semester come in somewhere between being flat year-over-year or down a low single-digit percentage.
"Students seem to be really slow in their decision-making," he said. "They definitely seem to be taking their time and waiting up until the last minute."
International student enrollment is projected to rise. That's helpful, as those students typically pay full price. Like Kent, CSU also projects a drop in returning students. Wehner said that's partially due to the university's six-year graduation rate crossing 50% for the first time.
"That's a great, great thing," he said. "We're graduating students faster, but that also means that students stay a little bit less time."
Wehner added the amount of transfer students aren't where they would have been before the pandemic. Community colleges were hit the hardest during COVID, as enrollment fell at those institutions by 9.5% nationwide last fall.
It's too early to tell exactly how things will shake out at Lakeland Community College, according to Stephanie Brown, the college's assistant provost for strategic retention initiatives. Similar to other two-year institutions, she said Lakeland will see a lot of enrollment activity in August.
Enrollment at Lakeland is trending down, though. Even with increased marketing and outreach to prospective students, it'll probably clock in at a single-digit drop. Full-time enrollment fell 19% last fall.
"The one thing that we do have control over is how we support our current students, how we retain them, the services that we have in place for those students," Brown said.
One of the few local institutions to enroll more students last fall was Ursuline College. The Pepper Pike campus' full-time enrollment grew 6%, rising from 817 to 866 students.
Some graduate programs are "struggling a bit," said Susan Dileno, vice president for enrollment management. But she expects more growth this fall in terms of new first-time students. The incoming class is expected to have roughly 124 students, up from 102 last fall.
She said the college is committed to keeping and growing Ursuline's hold on the region. The school historically has drawn the majority of its students from Northeast Ohio.
"A lot of schools have kind of let that slip," she said. "We try to remain pretty aggressive and be in the forefront of students' minds."
Dileno can quickly tick off a few of what the college views as its strengths: It's a women-focused institution, highly personal and a good value.
But when it comes to higher education options, Northeast Ohio is a crowded market. There's a lot of competition as administrators focus on how to distinguish themselves from their peers to attract more students.
"That's what keeps me up at night, you know," Dileno said. "Really trying to get a scan of what other colleges are doing or thinking, strategizing in terms of how we keep our market share."
In-person campus offerings return to majority of Northeast Ohio colleges

The government is already planning changes to the rules governing damages-based agreements (DBAs), it has emerged.
The news comes as a leading litigation funder argues that concerns over whether the existing rules permit hybrid DBAs are misplaced.
Professor Dominic Regan has suggested that the Ministry of Justice recognises that the DBA Regulations are unworkable.
There is no detail on what areas of the regulations are under review, but hybrid DBAs are likely to be on the agenda. The likes of City firm Herbert Smith Freehills and the Bar Council have said that they only permit a lawyer using a DBA to work on a full 'no win, no fee' basis.
However, Susan Dunn, head of litigation funding at Harbour Litigation Funding, said there is nothing on the face of the DBA Regulations that expressly prohibits hybrid DBAs. "Regulation 4(1) caps the amount to be paid by the client (contingency fee less deductions and expenses), but it expressly applies that cap to the amount to be paid under the DBA itself, and not in respect of the claim or proceedings generally," she said.
"The explanatory note in the DBA Regulations describes DBAs as a type of 'no win, no fee' agreement under which a lawyer can recover an agreed percentage of a client's damages if the case is won but 'nothing if the case is lost'.
"While this has led some commentators to suggest that a hybrid DBA is not permissible, we note that similar language was used in the regulations governing conditional fee agreements (CFAs) when they were first introduced to allow an increase above standard hourly rates but not a percentage of the proceeds. The position under the CFA regulations was clarified by case law and hybrid CFAs have now been widely deployed in practice for several years.
Ms Dunn said the Civil Justice Council working party on DBAs supported hybrid DBAs "with good reason" as few lawyers would be prepared to run cases that could last two years or more on a pure 'no win, no fee'.
Ms Dunn said third-party funders could also help with arrangements such as 'contingency fee splitting' and 'double DBAs'.
In the former, the claimant would enter into a 'no win, no fee' DBA with its lawyers and the lawyers enter into a separate funding agreement with a litigation funder to get backstop funding for the lawyer's work in progress and costs in return for a portion of the fee.
In the latter, the claimant enters into a DBA with its lawyers (eg, for rates) and a second DBA with a litigation funder (eg, for disbursements and adverse costs). The litigation funder may also be able to cover a portion of the lawyer's rates under this structure.

01.07.2021Future Focus Group Program – 25 years on and back for more!
During these COVID-constrained times, motivating our emerging leaders by connecting them to a Melbourne leadership network, mentors and the opportunity to shape Melbourne's future becomes even more important. The Future Focus Group Program (FFG) – Melbourne's own emerging civic leaders' program – provides such an opportunity.
FFG is a unique offering for selected emerging leaders in Melbourne to better understand, connect and contribute to Melbourne while building their leadership capabilities. Quite simply, the FFG creates new generations of networked Melbourne leaders.
Expressions of interest in, and nominations for, the FFG 2022–2023 Program are now welcome. It will be the Program's seventeenth cohort, with 15 completed cohorts since FFG was first offered by the Committee in 1996, and the sixteenth running until next May.
The next Program starts with an Induction Event on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 February at a CBD or CBD fringe location. It will be followed by 10 evening FFG Workshops between March and December, and another five between January 2023 and May 2023, with a mix of guest speakers, panellists and leading experts. The Program concludes with a Graduation Dinner for all participants in June 2023.
One of the distinctive elements of FFG is the group projects undertaken over more than 12 months. Participants will be placed into three or four diverse Project Teams for the duration of the Program to identify and develop projects that can make a tangible contribution to Melbourne's 'Road to Recovery'. This will be complemented by each participant having a FFG Mentor with whom he or she will meet one-on-one, at least three times during the course of the Program.
Given the impact of the ongoing lockdown conditions in Melbourne, the deadline for completed nominations has been extended to Friday 12 November. Interviews with nominees will be conducted within two weeks of their nomination packages being received and participants will now be confirmed in late November. A cohort of between 20 and 24 is being sought.
All gatherings will be conducted in accordance with prevailing Victorian Government COVID-19 restrictions and the COVID-Safe protocols of the hosting venue, with selected gatherings switching to a virtual format if required. While we all look forward to a return to in-person monthly Workshops and Project Team meetings for FFG at the earliest possible opportunity, we are seeing some real benefits for participants with virtual meetings. They are providing more ready access to special guest speakers and giving participants from all over Melbourne equitable access to Project Team discussions. These FFG Projects are tailored at Melbourne's post COVID recovery, and, despite lockdown constraints, have powered ahead, such as the Melbourne International Student Week Project. This is testament to what can still be achieved from willing and engaged participants.
The fee for the Program has remained at $9,500 plus GST for Foundation and Corporate members of the Committee and $6,500 plus GST for Not-for-Profit members. Up to six places in the program are available for nominations from organisations that are not currently members of the Committee, for a fee of $9,500 plus GST.
Please contact Matt Gaffney, General Manager Future Focus Group, for more information on the Program.

Any chance to rotate maps to different times . Seems each night I play it's the same maps SAME TIME , Europe times GMT .
I guess jumping around from plane to plane would make things harder . Or feel strange I tried again last night on server . The pitch is very twitchy . I have no fine tune . It's like there is a delay to input then reacts over the top . . Practice I guess or deadband adjustment needed .
Tanks seen to be invisible then pop into view also flying at 100m of the deck so i can see . Damage on tanks cant be seen , no smoke effects , how do we tell if destroyed from air . Never used to be a problem but now it is. I feel the tank game is interfering with flight game , damage ect , am i wrong here . ??
Are you flying bombers .
Fly any other plane in GB and your fly just fine , pull your turns hi g yoyo and the sorts yet the spitfire pulling up is just over the top it feels like too sensitive try following through when 109 pulls up , i pull up to follow and the spit goes up too fast cant follow its very off putting as for curves in DCS ``yes i wish we had that here for each plane like they had in Rise of flight . But for some strange reason we ended up with the settings we have here . . Russian planes easy too fly . Jump in full throttle nothing breaks ..lol Some thing is odd about spitfire elevator maybe its my joystick . ?? i just cant dog fight in this .
Chasing a 109 and if he pulls up and I follow my spit goes way over the top . What is wrong with the elevator it's way way too sensitive and the ground loops on ice snow is just crazy . Lol i used tobe able to fly spit nice and stable but now I just can not fly this thing . Just little push and pulls throw me off aiming . Stopped flying it . Jump in Russain planes any of them and it's plane sailing . Lol . I mean so easy to fly .
Good idea . Shall try that .
I noticed landing at friendly airfields count as a ditch . If not coloured .
Did you try to call in air support. Why isn't anyone flying Red . . .
Axis has won nearly all Campaigns . Squads with high members make a big difference to the out come .
Can this game Handel that type of campaign. .? My thoughts are if you want to fly TAW campaigns you register your squads and you get picked for what team To fly for By the server admins . This is how it used tobe . Just Can't have this 40 v 13 , it's embarrassing. I stopped flying axis because I just could not get into this server . It ended up being a frustrating time trying to meet up with friends . So I went Red . At least I managed to get into server . I consider a flight sim to be for the adult community I'm sure most of us are man enough to expect the admins choice.
Not flying Axis this time . As there are too many . Not only do Axis out number Red by a long way and have won Six maps with ease . And yet we still find Chute kills even when Downed . . I can except ive been defeated in battle not real battle but game . But i will not except chute kills . !!! A two finger jester , there really is no Need for this BS. Would like to say thank you to the people once again for the efforts for making TAW server . This one has left me with a bitter taste in my mouth .
I would listen to the real pilots than any gamer . With such experiences it shouldn't go unnoticed . The spitfire on snow . Is ground loop .


Millwall manager Ian Holloway believed The Lions deserved all three points against Bolton Wanderers at The Den on Saturday.
Martyn Woolford struck his seventh goal of the season in the 82nd minute - five minutes after Lukas Jutkiewicz, who opened the scoring in the first-half, missed a penalty - but Ollie said his side's performance warranted more than a draw.
"The lads played some really good stuff at times. Fordey's penalty save was a big lift but long before then we were creating chance after chance. You only need to look at the stats.
"I'm gutted that we didn't get three points but I can see what we are trying to do and I see that the belief amongst the players is coming.
"I thought we were brave but tried to overplay at times when we went 1-0 down. We needed to get the ball forward a bit quicker than we had to before they scored, and I got that message across to the players at half-time.
"I'm proud that the fans backed the players and that the players gave the fans reasons to sing. Our supporters were superb - they stayed with the team all the way through and I told them that.
"I'm disappointed that we're not celebrating a win because we had so many chances, more so than any game under me before. If we can keep doing that then the strikers I have - all five of them - will score goals, there's no doubt about that."
Ollie was full of praise for Danny Shittu and makeshift centre-half Alan Dunne, who started his first game since January 11th.
"We've been working on Dunney playing at centre-half because he's quick," he said. "It's not his natural position but I thought he was excellent. Danny was up against Jutkiewicz and we asked Dunney to cover in behind, which he did really well.
"Danny has been brilliant for me since I've been here. I had him before (at QPR) and he was great there, too. He has this problem with his knee which we keep a check on but I think he can believe in what his body is capable of more. He's a big presence in the dressing room for us."

Christmas Eve chaos as dozens of flights cancelled last minute
December 24, 2021 10:01 am in National by Shanee Dobeson
Dozens of flights across the country have been cancelled at the last minute, causing chaos for thousands of people trying to get away for Christmas.
Popular Jetstar and Virgin Australia routes between Queensland, Victoria, NSW and South Australia have been affected.
It's understood some passengers were only told about the cancellations late last night, leaving many interstate travellers in limbo.
Both airlines have released statements, blaming the last-minute flight cancellations on staff shortages caused by COVID-19.
"Unfortunately like many people in Sydney and Melbourne, a large number of our frontline team are being requested to get tested and isolate as close contacts given the increasing number of cases in the general community," A Jetstar spokesperson said.
"As a result, we have had to make some late adjustments to our schedule.
"We appreciate the frustration this causes, especially as customers are travelling for Christmas, and sincerely apologise for the impact these changes are having on travel plans.
"We are working to minimise any delays and re-accommodating passengers on flights as close as possible to their original departure times across both Jetstar and Qantas services."
Meantime, Virgin has reassured customers that "no guests will be stranded for Christmas".
"Virgin Australia customers who were impacted by a schedule change were moved onto an alternate same day service and advised in advance of their travel date," the spokesperson said.
"No guests are arriving at the airport today will be stranded for Christmas.
"We understand that the Brisbane Airport departure board is displaying flights that were previously scheduled to depart today, however were subject to schedule changes in the lead up to today."

Q: Match email addresses with special characters I have some .yml files some of which contain email addresses inside them along with other data. I'm trying to find out the email addresses which contain any of these characters !@#$%^&*()_-+{}
For example chankey!007@testserver.com. These might or might not be invalid addresses. I just need to grab data before @ which contains mentioned special characters. I tried the below but did not get expected results.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Find;

open (my $out, ">", 'output.txt') or die $!;

find(sub {
  if (-f and /\.yml$/) {
    my $data;
    {
      local $/=undef;
      open my $file, "<", $_ or die "Couldn't open file: $!";
      $data = <$file>;
      close $file;
    }
    if ($data =~ /([a-zA-z0-9+.$#_-]+)@/g){
        my $data = $1;
        if ($data =~ /[+.$#_-]/g){
            print $out "File: $_\n";
            print $out $data."\n";
        }

    }
  }
}, '.');

A: (^.*[!@#$%^&*()_\-+{}]+.*)@
This will capture the username only if it contains any of the special character that you mentioned is in it. You must add the \g modifier to match repeatedly. Here's a breakdown of this from regex101.com:
1st Capturing group (^.*[!@#$%^&*()_\-+{}]+.*)
    ^ assert position at start of the string
    .* matches any character (except newline)
        Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]
    [!@#$%^&*()_\-+{}]+ match a single character present in the list below
        Quantifier: + Between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]
        !@#$%^&*()_ a single character in the list !@#$%^&*()_ literally (case sensitive)
        \- matches the character - literally
        +{} a single character in the list +{} literally
    .* matches any character (except newline)
        Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]
@ matches the character @ literally
g modifier: global. All matches (don't return on first match)

A: EDITED
updated my regex to ONLY capture those addresses if they contains the characters in the class
Based on the type of data you provided at the regex101 link, something like this may work
(\w*[-!@#$%^&*()_+{}]+\w*)@

FYI, by putting the - as the first character in the character class, the regex engine treats it as a literal character, rather than a character-class range operator. Also, the underscore is already accounted for in \w but I left it in to make the regex more explicit.
Additionally, but using \w rather than .+ or .* it means we don't match any whitespace, which shouldn't be in an email address anyway.

After reading Small Change, discuss the role that the epigraphs from Noel Coward and Toni Morrison play in acting as road maps through the terrain that Small Change explores. You might want to discuss, for example, whether the epigraph from Noel Coward is or is not an adequate description of Beth. The quote from Toni Morrison seems to suggest that a degree of play-acting is necessary to create the right kind of impression in conducting our relationships. Discuss the search for a balance between honesty and self-protection in the friendships portrayed in the book.
Look at the stories that focus on Beth's intense friendship with Maureen, including "The Friend" and "Cézanne in a Soft Hat," and compare them with stories that chronicle other friendships – with Carol in "The Fight," Leonard in "Sayonara," and Leah in "Purge Me with Hyssop" – and compare the differences in Beth's connections with each of these characters. What does Beth expect from friendship? How aware is she of her own failings as a friend?
One of Beth's issues with Maureen is her passivity – Maureen, for example, stays with her painter husband, Danny, even after he is clearly unfaithful to her and, even more disturbing, risks her own life by sleeping with him after she suspects he is HIV-positive. What does Beth see in herself that makes her react so strongly to Maureen's passivity? What does she learn about passivity? And about herself?
Hay's fictions have a very visual feel to them and she has commented in interviews that she's a great admirer of the Canadian painter David Milne. In "Cézanne and the Soft Hat," she examines the landscapes of the French Post-Impressionist painter in describing the breakdown of his friendship with writer Emile Zola. Look at how Hay describes landscape in this story and discuss the connections that she makes between the detachment of the painter and the detachment of the writer.
Beth is a writer who clearly is reworking episodes in her own life into her fiction. Hay said in an interview in the Ottawa Citizen that the "starting points for these stories are autobiographical, and the course they take is fictional." Does the absence of disguise – of an obvious fictional cover – make the stories more compelling?
In "Makeup," Beth describes herself as "an emotional bag lady dragging along old friendships, old failings, old makeup and using them to keep myself warm in a shabby sort of way." Does this gathering to herself of old sorrows make her a more or less appealing character?
Small Change is structured as a series of linked stories, beginning with the Maureen stories and returning to Maureen in the end. How does the circular and overlapping structure of the book contribute to the underlying theme of friendship revisited.
Beth suggests in "Cézanne in a Soft Hat" that men's friendships with other men are less inclined to be so emotionally fraught as are friendships between women. "They don't brood so luxuriously about friendships gone wrong." Discuss.
In the stories "January Through March" and "Several Losses," Beth looks at the patterns that exist in her friendships and compares them to the seasons. At the end of "Several Losses," Beth asks herself what she has learned and replies, "That I have arrived at middle distance in middle age with not necessarily fewer friends or better friends, but with an overwhelming desire for peaceful friends. And that all of this is temporary, and yet always the same." Discuss the kind of release Beth finds in viewing her friendships and herself as part of the shifting fabric of the physical world.
In "A Personal Letter" a character says, "Children don't appreciate what we come to value so much as adults: consistency in our relationships." Discuss the undercurrent of longing for something more fulfilling among the characters in these stories.
The Malahat Review's Robert Finley wrote about Small Change that "Hay brings together in her fourth book the revelatory power of narrative, the analytical possibilities of the personal essay and memoir, the investigative discipline of journalism, and the sudden illumination of lyric, and as a result she seems able to pick up everything – everything said, and most of what is only whispered in a gesture or a look between friends." Discuss how you see Hay using different literary genres to explore the concept of friendship.
Compare Hay's idea of friendship with that of other writers. You might want to look at Alice Munro's short story collection Friend of My Youth, for example.
Discuss the style of Hay's writing. It has been described as both poetic and economical in its attention to the details of emotion and landscape. Is it part of a writer's job to find words for things that are difficult to talk about?

Whose vision will lead Portland schools?
A teacher in the Portland Public Schools--writing anonymously out of fear of reprisals--looks at the issues at stake as his union continues its fight for a fair contract.
ON JULY 11, more than 40 supporters of the Portland Association of Teachers (PAT) attended the ninth bargaining session between the union and Portland Public Schools (PPS). To their dismay, negotiations were cut short when the district blindsided the PAT bargaining team with a nine-page legal document that contained a detailed list of issues the district refused to bargain over.
In a press release after the recent bargaining session, PAT President Gwen Sullivan responded to the district's maneuver:
Portland's teachers have been working in good faith to come to an agreement that is in the best interests of our students and classrooms. The District is wasting the opportunity to have a meaningful discussion about how to make schools better for our kids. That's why our members teach for a living, and why they are here volunteering their time to settle this contract. We are deeply disappointed that the District is refusing to talk about issues that matter a great deal to teachers, parents and students--like class size, standardized testing and evaluation.
Portland Association of Teachers President Gwen Sullivan
The district's move is part of a calculated strategy to pigeonhole negotiations into a discussion about teachers' salaries and benefits. This will allow PPS to increase class sizes, attempt to close schools in low-income neighborhoods, and tie teacher evaluations to students test scores--all "legally permissive" bargaining issues that PAT's initial proposal tried to fight back against. District officials know that their stances on these issues are highly unpopular among most parents and students, so they are using the law to restrict bargaining to "mandatory" issues.
THIS MOST recent move is part of an aggressive public relations strategy that emerged as the school year came to a close. At the end of May, the school board attacked the Portland Association of Teachers (PAT) in a press conference, a mass e-mail to parents, and an op-ed article in The Oregonian. The school board declared its dedication to "transforming Portland's outdated teacher contract" and unveiled a new proposal that offered teachers 1 percent cost-of-living raises for the next four years while maintaining the vast majority of their initial proposal's regressive contract language.
By slightly increasing their compensation offer while ignoring all other areas of the contract, the school board hoped to paint the teachers' union as greedy and unreasonable. This is also the reasoning behind their more recent attempt to restrict bargaining to issues of compensation and benefits.
Their hope is that parents and community members, who are losing their jobs and homes in some cases, and struggling to get by on low wages in other cases, will side with the district because teachers have better salaries, health plans and pensions than they do. In reality, however, as historian Mark Naison has explained, a successful attack on the teachers' union will make it easier for other employers to attack workers.
What was most striking about PPS's end-of-the-school-year media assault is that the school board repeatedly attacked Portland teachers for looking to the Chicago Teachers Union--one of the most innovative unions in the country--for inspiration.
Referring to a panel at the recent Labor Notes conference in Portland in which PAT President Gwen Sullivan appeared alongside Sara Chambers from the Chicago Teachers Union, the school board lied to parents, claiming, "Before these negotiations even opened in March, PAT leaders brought in organizers from the Chicago Teachers Union to prepare for a strike in Portland...Portland is not Chicago. A teachers' strike doesn't have to happen here. It's not what Portland students or families deserve."
But ironically, just a month after making this declaration, PPS is using a tactic directly out of the Chicago playbook. By restricting bargaining to "mandatory" issues, the Portland school board is using the exact same strategy that Mayor Rahm Emanuel used in negotiations with the CTU last year--a strategy which ultimately led to a strike.
Of course, the school board absurdly obvious statement is true: Portland isn't Chicago, neither is it Seattle, nor is it San Francisco. But what the board doesn't realize is that Chicago has become a battleground between two visions for education.
One vision wants our schools to be run like a business--with CEOs at the top, teachers as the workers, and students as the products that teachers are supposed to "add value" to. On the other side, there is an educational justice movement that says our students are human beings, not test scores, and that children deserve participatory, critical curriculum grounded in their own lives--and that teachers should be respected and given the autonomy and the time to individualize instruction, plan and prepare engaging lessons, and give meaningful feedback to every student and parent.
FOR THOSE reading the Portland school board's propaganda and trying to figure out which vision for public education the district subscribes to, a recent article in The Oregonian, written by Steve Duin, might help shed light on PPS's priorities. Duin examines the district's choice to extend a no-bid contract to consultant Yvonne Deckard, hired to help gut the teacher contract, while simultaneously laying off a well-respected social-service worker. Duin's article begins:
Nora Lehnhoff and Yvonne Deckard have one thing in common. Their employer, Portland Public Schools, doesn't track the hours they work. Deckard is a union negotiator who bills $300 per hour and has a no-bid $15,000-per-month contract with the district. Lehnhoff is a social service worker at Roosevelt High. She was paid a half-time salary this year to work a ridiculous number of hours on the health, addiction and hunger issues that cripple students in the classroom. Guess which one the district decided it can no longer afford? Wednesday was the last day in Lehnhoff's six-year run at Roosevelt.
Duin goes on to describe the hundreds of students that Lehnhoff has helped despite receiving less than one-tenth of Deckard's salary. He then hits the nail on the head when he explains why PPS would fire Lenhoff while rehiring Deckard: "Because in a world obsessed with test scores and graduation rates, the district can't track and quantify the difference Lehnhoff makes."
So while Portland and Chicago certainly have many differences, the corporate reform agenda is driving the actions of both school districts.
In Portland, the district is not closing down 50 schools in Black and Latino neighborhoods, but PPS did shut down two predominately Black and Brown schools two years ago, and tried again this year to shut down another two low-income, high-minority schools. And like Chicago, the Portland school board wants to tie teacher evaluations to student test scores. Like Chicago, the Portland school board wants to get rid of limits to class size and teacher workload. Like Chicago, the Portland school board wants to increase the amount of unpaid labor teachers do every day while getting rid of our job security.
So whether the school board admits it or not, they are playing the same role in Portland that Mayor Rahm Emanuel played in Chicago, and they are fighting for that same corporate vision of education. It will be up to Portlanders to learn the lessons from the other side in Chicago--the students, parents and teachers who responded to Rahm Emanuel's assault on public schools with resistance on a scale this country has not seen in decades.
The Portland Association of Teachers is making it clear that this fight is about more than just better pay. As PAT President Gwen Sullivan wrote in an editorial in The Oregonian, "Portland educators have come to the table not just to discuss salary and benefits, but to begin a conversation about equity, appropriate use of student assessment, class size and allowing professional educators the time and space to do what they do best--teach our children."
Like Chicago, PAT will need to help build a movement of parents, students and teachers that can fight for our vision for public schools--the schools our students deserve.

Damn it. I said it. I said it, and I can't take it back.
I didn't mean for it to be a knife. I didn't want to hurt her. I was sharing a very delicate part of my life with my then-girlfriend. You see, we had been fighting—as couples do—and I didn't want to tell her the truth. For me, this was the moment of vulnerability. For her, it was a moment of rejection. Looking back, I understand.
Here's my big shame: I dread the idea of being married to someone for the rest of my life. In my family, being happily married is like walking on water; they're all drowning! So long ago, I made the choice to keep my feet firmly planted on dry land.
Sure, it sounds like an excuse. But my family dynamic makes it difficult for me to commit. At my worst, I'm searching for a way out—picking apart my relationship for its flaws and the reasons it won't work in order to prevent inevitability. It's not a behavior that makes me proud. I've tried to loosen the grip this fear has on me, but I know I need someone who understands that a relationship with me will be work.
At times I may want to run. I may be distant and hard to read. It's not because I'm trying to be difficult, I'm just afraid. It's not who I want to be. No man wants to live the life of a coward. I do eventually want lasting love and commitment. But I acknowledge that it's going to take a special kind of woman to get there.
If you're dating someone—like me—who has an aversion to commitment, there is hope. But navigating a relationship with someone who struggles with commitment can be tricky. I don't have the magic answer, but in my own experience, a woman who can answer yes to the following questions is the best equipped to build a lasting relationship with a recovering commitment-phobe (and can spot when it's time to run).
You love him. Have you reminded yourself why you're together?
You chose to begin a relationship with this person for a reason. Hopefully it wasn't because you wanted to fix him. What is it about the man you're in love with or beginning to fall for? What made you say yes to him in the first place? His work ethic and generous spirit? His ability to make you laugh and see the best in others? His infectious charisma or uncanny wit? Remind yourself about the things that drew you to him—the things that still make him who he is. Warts and all.
Don't forget to remind him, too. It's easy for us to get down on ourselves. Some of us have a tendency to focus on the areas where we fall short. Why not reverse that trend in your man's life? If your goal is to see this relationship grow, then nurture it. Celebrate the person you're dating. If he knows you appreciate who he is, it will only attract him more.
Know your needs. Have you verbalized them?
You're in a relationship that may be harder than most, and if the man you're with doesn't start to overcome some of the things that prevent him from committing, you may have to walk away. But ultimatums and threats are not the solution here.
Talk. Make your needs clear. You may desire to have children by a certain age or long for the feeling of stability that marriage provides. You may want to be married after a few years of dating. A year is ample time for someone to "know." If he claims to have no idea, you at least should. Search your heart, talk to family, and seek the wisdom of friends whose opinions you respect and trust. Once you've done your work, make a decision, and stick to it. If he doesn't meet you in that place and fight for you, it's best to let the relationship end, hard as it may be.
Check yourself. Did you go in to this with realistic expectations?
After two months of dating, you shouldn't be pushing him to get married. Soak in the moment. Don't add unnecessary pressure. It has happened to me before! I've been in a relationship where things are going along well, but then the pressure begins.
There's nothing inherently wrong with these questions, but timing matters. As I said before, I believe that one year is a reasonable amount of time to get to know someone. You won't know everything, but you should be able to determine whether this relationship is going toward marriage. If he hasn't initiated the conversation in a year, feel free to bring it up. A great non-threatening question is, "What do you want out of this relationship?" or "Where do you see us in a year or two?" How he responds is important here. If he gets angry or shuts down, it's probably a sign that his commitment issues have gotten the best of him, and the relationship is not going in the right direction.
There is a commonly shared quote: "Be kind; everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." Fear of commitment is a hard battle. But men who fear commitment don't need a savior; we need a fellow soldier. We need you to jump into the foxhole with us. This means being willing to have difficult conversations, protecting his heart when he chooses to be vulnerable, and holding fast to your desire for lasting love and commitment—for your sake and for his.
Once the war is won, not only will we commit to you, we'll fight for you as well—because we know you're fighting a hard battle of your own. We all are.
