An In-Depth Look at NYC's Office Landscape
By Pete Garth On Apr 2, 2021
New York City. Image by Noelsch via Pixabay
It's been a year since the pandemic took the New York City real estate sector by storm. The office market was faced with a difficult year, with the coronavirus taking a particularly heavy toll on leasing and transaction activity.
"Unfortunately, due to the density and dependence of the city on local transport, we will only see a significant improvement when health is restored and people feel good when they return to the office," said Ruth Colp-Haber, President and CEO by Wharton Real Estate Advisor, said Commercial Property Executive.
Despite this poor forecast, a light is shining at the end of the COVID-19 tunnel. Though it just flickers for now, Grant Greenspan, director of the Kaufman Organization, believes there is a sense of brokerage as more clerks are coming back immediately by the end of the year. However, returning to the office after vaccination will be slow and careful. "We hear from tenants and decision makers that people are more likely to return once the vaccine is available. I also believe that at some point vaccines will be mandatory for office workers, "he added.

While distributing the vaccine is intended to take some of the pressure off the current trading landscape, Colp-Haber believes that it is merely a minimum threshold for people to return to the office. COVID-19 has irreversibly changed the way we do business and how people interact with the place where they work.
"We have entered a new real estate world and every tenant's approach is sui generis, and one size doesn't suit everyone. Landlords ignore this change at their own risk. It is important to emphasize that most tenants have worked effectively without an office for a year. As a result, they have learned how to do without an office and if they can save money with a smaller office many will, "she continued.
Phoebe Holztman, Senior Director of Research at JLL for the New York / Tri-State Area, and Clark Finney, General Manager, agree that as the pandemic deepens, the high-density offices have lost their luster, while personal workspaces and joint meetings have grown social contacts existed. Spaces were increasingly valued. According to a JLL survey, 74 percent of people want to be back in the office either full time or in a hybrid model. "The tiredness of working from home has increased since the outbreak of the pandemic, but the desire for flexibility remains," said JLL experts.
Change in the dynamics of landlords
In March last year, COVID-19 suspended operations across the state. Leasing activity was lukewarm throughout 2020, with most of the leases signed being in finance and life sciences. The latter even experienced a boom thanks to the race for a vaccine. This unprecedented health crisis paved the way for a different approach to landlord-tenant negotiations, influenced by work-from-home policies and general economic uncertainty.

As a result, tenants became bolder, learned to express their needs and avoid getting drawn into long-term leases on unfavorable terms, while continuing to formulate their own business plans and decide what to do with their own space. According to Colp-Haber, apart from short-term extensions, "there is basically no negotiation other than asking for free rental and leasing concessions for those who have difficulty paying the rent." Condé Nast's refusal to unite at the World Trade Center Paying $ 2.4 million monthly lease reflects this. "Tenants now have all the bargaining power," she added.
Holztman and Finney also underline the tenants' increased focus on flexibility. Thanks to the increasingly competitive market environment in New York City, tenants are pushing much more for rental options that allow both growth and contraction, but also flexibility in terms of rental duration. Greenspan expects the market to recover soon and as the leasing speed increases, landlords will become more resilient in offering concession packages. He also believes that certain sub-markets will recover faster or more aggressively than others, with Flatiron, Union Square and NoMad being the leading indicators of the market recovery.

JLL data shows that the vacancy rate for subleases has almost doubled since the first quarter of 2020. After the onset of COVID-19, 11.6 million square feet of sublet space was added to the market. However, we are not yet at the level of the last two recessions. The sub-markets with the highest vacancy rate in subleases, such as Midtown South, are exposed to stronger downward pressure on direct rents and tougher competition with direct availabilities.
These significant changes in tenant attitudes reflect a new reality: New York is a tenant market today. According to Colp-Haber, "first-time tenants have options and landlords have to work harder for their business." This can potentially be achieved by providing significantly lower rents, more budgets for free rents and tenant improvement, shorter rental terms, right of withdrawal and pandemic protection "Not just with hand sanitizers, signage and social distancing".
As companies reassess their space needs amid ongoing uncertainty about the future of work, tech tenants continue to act as drivers of demand for office rentals. The trend towards the flight to quality was exacerbated by the pandemic as tenants and landlords focused their workplace strategy primarily on employee health and productivity.

According to Holztman and Finney, the Class A market segment accounted for 81 percent of total annual activity, and post-COVID-19 leasing trends pointed to resilience in new build and premium market segments. The two experts assume that new office stocks will continue to generate premium offer rates for both health and wellness reasons and attract more talent to the office. Indicative leases include Facebook's 730,000 square foot net expansion in the Farley Building and Tik Tok's new lease at 151 W. 42nd St. in Manhattan.
Another "New York State of Mind"
A recent study by Cushman & Wakefield found that New York City's office space exceeded that of London and San Francisco combined. Given this and the fact that the demand for office space has recently declined, will the Metro manage to maintain its status as the world's capital in a post-pandemic world?
As a New Yorker, Greenspan believes the city is still the hub of creativity and finance, but a change in local government philosophy is necessary to maintain its status. "The focus must be on creating a business-friendly environment that also includes public safety."

Both Governor Andrew Cuomo and real estate mogul William Rudin advocated converting vacant commercial buildings into test sites. While this could provide a temporary solution to rising commercial vacancies, Colp-Haber believes that this measure alone will not solve the problem. She mentions other workable measures such as corporate rent tax credits in affected areas and an expanded government reimbursement of office rent well beyond the two-month paycheck protection program payments. While Greenspan supports the use of open space to test sites, it does not anticipate that these modifications will have any long-term impact on the market.
Meanwhile, JLL's Holztman and Finney are banking on traditionally strong market fundamentals. "While it will take time to deal with the recent crisis, free space will be absorbed and adjusted, and companies will compete for the energy, creativity and talent that are critical to success. "
There are many unanswered questions about the future of the New York retail landscape. We have yet to understand how the current shifts shape future directions. Colp-Haber assumes that flexible space companies will be the first to recover from the industry-wide slump, as they can offer cancellable short-term leases. Accordingly, companies that have not yet decided how many employees and when to bring them back to the office have "the opportunity to experiment and see what works best for them".
Research by Cushman & Wakefield shows that office leasing will most likely fully recover by 2025. At the local level, it is expected that the number of entrepreneurs looking to take advantage of long-term rentals at below-market prices will increase as large corporate chains step in. Greenspan expects the market to complete retail space at affordable rents. He believes that the New York office market will regain its appeal in the next 12 months, aided by the need for office users to return to the office to be more productive.

A Filipina in the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday described as "surreal" her experience leading to the first ever Papal Mass in the peninsula, where she joined other Catholics to worship out in public.
Interviewed on News To Go, Cez Verzosa, a researcher in Abu Dhabi and a former GMA Network employee, narrated how she was able to attend the Mass despite failing to register for it on January 20.
She said she also failed to acquire a ticket that parishes in the UAE distributed to Filipinos and other Catholics who were not able to register days before the Mass.
Bus tickets were also given for the free transportation, Verzosa said.
"Ako personally, sobrang surreal, sobrang worth it ng paghihintay sa ticket na 'yon. Kasi ako po naghintay ako ng three to four hours sa St. Joseph Cathedral kasama 'yung ilan nating mga kabayan," she said.

Many great things in this world were born to come in pairs, salt & pepper, rhubarb & custard… even Ant & Dec. This is no different for our Vitamin Rich Cleanser & Splash. These Schamazing products work best when they are together and should be treated like the Schuper duo they are! But like all good duos, one must come before the other and for us it's the Vitamin Rich Cleanser that comes first.
The first process of cleansing and toning is to give you skin a deep cleanse. This should follow your skin polish & exfoliation you did prior to this step. Cleansing is important as it works deep into the skin, lifting out any impurities and boosts hydration. It's also important to understand that cleansing is perfect for helping anti-ageing products work to their very best.
Our Vitamin Rich Cleanser is packed full of Coenzyme Q10 which helps to penetrate the skin and plump out fine lines & wrinkles ageing skin might suffer. We also utilise the natural power of Marshmallow Extract which magically hydrates and softens the skin.
The second process is to tone and refresh the skin. Full of Aloe Vera Leaf Juice which uses natural properties to soothe, heal and calm the skin alongside Rose Essential Oil which also calms redness & any flushing. Using the Vitamin Rich Splash will help to refresh and rejuvenate the skin after a deep cleanse.
Thankfully, our Cleanser & Splash is simple to use! Gently warm the cleanser through the palms of your hands and massage over the face and neck. At this point, leave the cleanser on your skin to work deeply into the pores and lift the impurities. After leaving it for a few minutes to work, gently remove with warm water and a cotton wool pad. Then, apply the Vitamin Rich Splash product on to a fresh cotton pad and apply to the face & neck to cool, soothe and rejuvenate the skin.
This really is a vital step to refreshing the skin and should play a major role in anyones skincare routine.
Luckily, we currently have 25% off the entire Vitamin Rich range when you use the code VitRich25.

Q: Sum data from a table between dates in another table

I have these two tables that relate to each other with the column itemid.
I managed to make the sum of different itemid values as I show in the first example from data_table.
Now I want to relate this sum by specific dates in the other table but I can not. Please can anyone help me?
items_table

+--------+-----------+------------+
| itemid | published | publish_up |
+--------+-----------+------------+
|      1 |         1 | 02-01-2014 |
+--------+-----------+------------+

data_table

+--------+---------+------+
| itemid | fieldid | data |
+--------+---------+------+
|      1 |      27 |    5 |
|      1 |      28 |   10 |
|      1 |      29 |    5 |
+--------+---------+------+

This query is ok:
SELECT (SELECT SUM(data) FROM data_table WHERE fieldid='27')
     + (SELECT SUM(data) FROM data_table WHERE fieldid='28')
     + (SELECT SUM(data) FROM data_table WHERE fieldid='29')

But not between dates:
SELECT (SELECT SUM(data) FROM data_table WHERE fieldid='27')
     + (SELECT SUM(data) FROM data_table WHERE fieldid='28')
     + (SELECT SUM(data) FROM data_table WHERE fieldid='29')
WHERE  (publish_up BETWEEN '2014-01-01 00:00:00' AND '2014-01-31 00:00:00')
FROM   items_table

A: SELECT   itemid, SUM(data)
FROM     data_table JOIN items_table USING (itemid)
WHERE    publish_up >= '2014-01-01'
     AND publish_up <  '2014-02-01'

Fullbore shooting, in terms of Club use, refers to rifles using the 7.62mm Nato round, with a bullet weight of 155 grains.
Previously fullbore shooting was carried out using the .303 British cartridges in military type rifles, using a more sophisticated 'peep-hole' back sight and the military 'single post' front sight.
Today we use rifles very much up to 'space age' standard, with more refined types of back sight (but still of the 'peep-hole- style), but the front sights are altogether different. We use the same type of sights as on small-bore rifles (a ring style of sight which we centre over the black circular aiming mark on the targets), and with additional aids to raise or lower the front sight and also to increase the viewing size of the aiming mark. Today's rifles can cost up to £3000, but many good second hand rifles can be purchased for a few hundred pounds.
Club fullbore shooting is carried out at ranges from 300 yards to 1000 yards. The normal course of fire is two sighting shots and either ten or fifteen shoots to count. A bullseye counts as a 5, and so scores are out of totals of 50 (ten shots) or 75 (15 shots).
Competitions usually cover a number of ranges, so we could have a competition which covers 300, 500 and 600 yards (called 'short' ranges) or ranges of 900 and 1000 yards (called 'long' ranges).
The majority of our shooting is carried out at Bisley ranges in Surrey, and we belong to two main Associations – the Home Guard Association and Sussex County Rifle Association, both of which have a series of competitions held throughout the calendar year.
The main competitions of the Home Guard Association are the Norfolk, the Abergavenny, the Canada and the Streatfield cup competitions. All of these are Club team shoots with a number of Clubs taking part. Teams of four are the norm, and the Cups themselves are quite vintage, and date back to the time the Home Guard was formed in the 1940's.
Sussex County also hosts Club and individual competitions for members throughout the County, including the main competition in June for the Annual Championship. At this shoot those entering all compete for the first stage, shot at 300, 500 and 600 yards. The top twelve go through to shoot the Final at 900 and 1000 yards, carrying their first stage scores forward with them. There are cups for the winners of the First and the Final stages of the competition.
Sussex County also selects teams from within the membership to shoot in National competitions against other Counties, also generally shot at Bisley, and has been successful in winning a few of these competitions. Chichester has had its share of members selected to shoot for the County, and the standard is very high.
As well as County shoots, Chichester holds a few shoots of its own, much like the small-bore section of the Club. These are more informal affairs, but nevertheless the spirit to participate well is strong, and the competitions are well contested amongst the members. Aggregate cups are awarded annually for those attending the shoots throughout the year, and these are presented, along with the small-bore cups, at the Annual General Meeting. These include cups for the most promising beginner to the discipline, as well as those for more 'seasoned' shooters.
As with small-bore shooting, there are those well qualified to train and assist the new shooter in this form of shooting, and help is always on hand when problems with the shooting method and application are experienced. Fullbore shooting holds a significant place in the types of shooting we carry out at the Club.
The following full-bore trophies are awarded annually to Club members at the Club's AGM.
Highest gun score in the annual meeting at 300/500yds.
1st Sussex Home Guard Adjutant's Cup.
Highest gun score in the S.C.R.A Autumn meeting.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is a 2014 American action thriller film based on the character Jack Ryan created by author Tom Clancy. It is the fifth film in the Jack Ryan series and the second reboot thereof. Unlike its predecessors, it is not an adaptation of a particular Clancy novel, but rather an original story. Chris Pine stars in the title role, becoming the fourth actor to play Ryan, following Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck. The film is directed by Kenneth Branagh, who also stars alongside Kevin Costner, and Keira Knightley.
The original screenplay was written by Adam Cozand and David Koepp. The film was produced by Mace Neufeld, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, David Barron and Mark Vahradian, with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Paul Schwake and Tommy Harper as executive producers. The film score was composed by Patrick Doyle.
The film was released in the United States on January 17, 2014. It grossed over $130 million and was met with mixed critical reviews. It is dedicated to Clancy, who died on October 1, 2013.

5.1 Box office
5.2 Critical response
After the 9/11 attacks, Jack Ryan (Pine), studying at the London School of Economics, becomes a U.S. Marine officer and serves in Afghanistan, where his spine is severely injured after his helicopter is shot down. During a lengthy recovery back in the United States, he attracts the attention of Cathy Muller (Knightley), a medical student helping him learn to walk again, and Thomas Harper (Costner), a CIA official who recruits him.
Ten years later, Ryan is working on Wall Street covertly for the CIA looking for suspicious financial transactions that would indicate terrorist activity. When Russia loses a key vote before the United Nations and the markets do not respond in the expected manner, Ryan discovers that billions of dollars possessed by Russian organizations have disappeared. Most of these funds belong to Russian tycoon Viktor Cherevin (Branagh).
Ryan's employer conducts business with Cherevin, so when Ryan finds certain accounts inaccessible to him as an auditor, he has reason to visit Moscow and investigate. After narrowly surviving a murder attempt by an assassin (Anozie) posing as his bodyguard, Ryan sends an SOS and is surprised to learn his backup is Harper. During their debrief at Staraya Square, Ryan explains how Cherevin's shadow investments could make the United States vulnerable to complete financial collapse following a staged terrorist attack.
At his meeting with Cherevin the next day, he is told that the problem company and all of its assets have been sold, thus preventing Ryan's audit. Meanwhile, Muller, now Ryan's fiancée, suspecting him of having an affair, secretly flies to Moscow to meet him. Against protocol for unmarried couples, Ryan reveals his CIA employment, to her great relief. Improvising on the situation, Harper has Muller agree to be included in a plan to infiltrate Cherevin's offices. Ryan and Muller meet Cherevin at an upscale restaurant across the street from Cherevin's office. Over dinner, Ryan causes a scene and purposely insults Muller. Excusing himself, he gains access to Cherevin's office where he downloads critical corruption files.
Ryan and the CIA discover Cherevin has secretly propped up the Chinese and Japanese economies for years, leaving the U.S. economy vulnerable, as well as using a falsified death certificate to place his son, Aleksandr (Utgoff), in the U.S. as a sleeper agent. Ryan uses his talent for pattern recognition to locate Aleksandr's hideout and intended target, Wall Street. Returning to New York City, he locates and pursues a fake police response vehicle driven by Aleksandr. After Ryan catches up and engages in a physical confrontation with Aleksandr, he discovers a bomb in the rear of the vehicle. Unable to defuse it, he hijacks the vehicle and crashes it into the East River while jumping out, as the bomb detonates, killing Aleksandr. Cherevin is executed for his failure by his co-conspirators in Russia. Afterwards, Ryan, now married, and Harper are called to the White House to brief the President.

Production[edit]
Development[edit]
After the financial success of their film The Sum of All Fears (2002), Paramount Pictures made attempts to continue the Jack Ryan film series, but nothing came to fruition.[8] According to Mace Neufeld, Ben Affleck was not hired to reprise his role in future films after his involvement with the box office flop Gigli, stalling the series as the producers failed to recast the role.[9][10] In 2008, the company engaged director Sam Raimi to spearhead a revival of the series,[11] but he later dropped out due to focus on the development of the ultimately unproduced Spider-Man 4.[12]
In October 2009, Paramount and co-financier Skydance Productions were negotiating with actor Chris Pine to portray Jack Ryan in a film based on Tom Clancy's character, but not on any of the books. At the time, producers Mace Neufeld and Lorenzo di Bonaventura were working with an original concept drafted by Hossein Amini, with David Ready serving as co-producer for di Bonaventura.[13][14] In August 2010, director Jack Bender was the frontrunner to direct the film, based on a script tentatively titled Moscow by Adam Cozad.[15] The following month, writer Anthony Peckham was brought on to perform rewrites,[16] and later Steve Zaillian, who wrote the screenplay for Clear and Present Danger (1994), was engaged to perform rewrites as well.[17] However, Zaillian withdrew after a few weeks and the film was put on hold by Paramount for Pine to reprise his role as James T. Kirk in Star Trek Into Darkness.[18] During this time, David Koepp was brought on to rewrite the script,[19] with shooting scheduled to begin in the second half of 2012.[20]
The film faced another setback in March 2012, when director Bender dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.[21] Paramount and Skydance Pictures quickly hired Kenneth Branagh to replace him, in order to start production after Pine was finished with Into Darkness around September 2012.[22] "This script arrived and was un-put-down-able and I knew the previous films, I'd read some of the books and, simple as that, it came out of the blue", said Branagh. "I was going to be making another movie, but it went away and this one came to me and I read it and responded very strongly and it's the kind of the film that I go to see".[23]
Filming[edit]
A number of scenes were filmed outside the Royal Liver Building in Liverpool, England
Pre-production for Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit took place at the production offices of August Street Films Limited, based at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire.[24] Months after signing on as director, Kenneth Branagh also made a deal with the studio to star as the film's villain.[25]
In early August 2012, Keira Knightley, Felicity Jones, and Evangeline Lilly were being considered for the female lead while Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel were approached but declined.[26] Days later, Knightley won the role.[27] That same month, Kevin Costner signed on to play Thomas Harper in a two-picture deal that will also see him play the character in a film adaptation of Clancy's Without Remorse.[28]
While images from the film's production in Manhattan surfaced in late August 2012,[29][30] Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions did not announce the start of principal photography on Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit until September 18, 2012.[31] At that time, filming took place in Liverpool city centre, which doubled as Moscow.[24] Filming in New York City had been completed earlier that month.[32] Other shooting locales included London and Moscow.[7] Later, reshoots were also done in New York City.[7]
Music[edit]
The musical score of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit was composed by Patrick Doyle, who has collaborated on many of Kenneth Branagh's directorial efforts.[33] Writing the score took Doyle up to seven months, which is more than usual.[34] "In Jack Ryan, [Kenneth] wanted a piece of music for this scene and I had the theme the following day for it," said Doyle on his relationship with Branagh. "I actually wrote the main theme of the movie, just sitting there watching it. This is the expectation of a person you're very close to. There's no pressure in that you're so relaxed, especially someone like Kenneth. He brings out the best in you because he creates such a casual, relaxed, but hard-working environment at the same time."[35] A soundtrack album was released digitally by Varèse Sarabande on January 14, 2014 and in physical formats on February 4.[36][37]

Release[edit]
The film was originally scheduled to be released on December 25, 2013,[38] but was pushed back from its original release date to January 17, 2014, by Paramount Pictures to give the release date to Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street.[39] It then was slated for release on January 17, 2014, corresponding with the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday in the United States.[40] In August 2013, Paramount began rolling out a trailer for the film to test audiences bearing the title Jack Ryan: Shadow One.[41] On October 2, 2013, a day after the death of Tom Clancy, the first film poster was released, featuring the new title, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.[42] The first trailer for the film was released the same day.[43] In December 2014, Pine confirmed that there would not be a sequel to the film due to its lackluster box office performance.[44]
The film was later released in Video on Demand format for home media markets on May 20, 2014.[45] It was released on DVD and Blu-ray formats by Paramount Home Entertainment on June 10, 2014.[46]
Box office[edit]
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit earned $5.4 million on its opening day in North American markets.[47] and reached $17.2 million by the end of its opening weekend.[48] The film opened below all previous Jack Ryan films despite a wider theatre count.[49] Based on exit-polling service CinemaScore, more than a third of the film's opening weekend audience was over the age of 50. With only 15 percent of viewers under the age of 25, the film failed to attract younger viewers despite the casting of Chris Pine.[50][51] The film is the twenty-fourth highest grossing of 2014 and was the first film of the year to have reached over $100 million worldwide.[52] During its theatrical run, the film had grossed $50.6 million domestically and $85 million in foreign business, for a worldwide total of $135.6 million.[53]
Critical response[edit]
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 54% based on 187 reviews, with an average rating of 5.6/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "It doesn't reinvent the action-thriller wheel, but Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit offers a sleek, reasonably diverting reboot for a long-dormant franchise."[54] Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 57 out of 100, based on 36 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[55] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.[51]
The film is slow in getting started and once it's underway it's only intermittently involving. It's also occasionally far-fetched. Why is Jack the only person capable of facing the dangerous Cherevin? How does he overpower a hit man built like a refrigerator?
—Claudia Puig, writing for USA Today[56]
Peter Hartlaub of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film a positive review, saying, "Under taut direction from Kenneth Branagh (who also plays the Russian heavy), Pine is convincing as a character who is pushing papers one day and dodging assassins in Moscow the next." Hartlaub added, "Even with its thrifty set pieces and smaller ambitions, this attempt to reboot the series based on Tom Clancy characters does the most important thing right: It almost always feels like a Jack Ryan movie."[57] Kyle Smith of the New York Post also gave the film a positive review. Smith said, "Despite the occasional hard-to-believe moment, the reboot of the 1990s franchise is soundly structured, smart and fast, with a plausible central scenario, several gripping moments and well-wrought dialogue. If it isn't quite as gritty or intelligent as the Bourne movies, it is ... close enough."[58]
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone was less enthusiastic about the film, saying it "has no personality of its own." Travers added, "It's a product constructed out of spare parts and assembled with computerized precision. It's hard to care when Jack turns operational and becomes a CIA robocop. The movie feels untouched by human hands."[59] Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a negative review, saying, "While [the film] benefits from an attractive cast, the perennial allure of the spy game and the exoticism of the contemporary Moscow setting, the biggest problem afflicting this modest diversion is that it's the sort of film in which computers get to the bottom of every problem that comes up in about five seconds."[60]

One of OUSA's major strengths is its ability to provide educated solutions to government in the form of thoughtful and carefully crafted policy. Not only do they form the backbone of our advocacy initiative but they are also at the core of the mission and goals of the organization and contribute to its image as a thought leader in post-secondary education. Throughout its history OUSA has covered topics ranging from high-level vision and system design, all the way down to details of student financial assistance and funding.
Twice a year, members of OUSA from all of its schools come together to debate and approve the policies that will guide the organization for the coming years. The policies are created by students for students and form the basis for all the work we do here.
Two Spirit and LGBTQ+ Students
Students pursuing post-secondary education should never face discrimination, harassment, or exclusion on their campuses. Yet on many Ontario university campuses, Two Spirit and LGBTQ+ students face such realities and are marginalized because of who they are. In some cases, these students become the targets of deliberate, hate-motivated actions, and in other instances, the blame lies in ignorance or apathy. It is OUSA's hope that the recommendations provided in this paper will contribute to improving access to and safety in postsecondary education for Two Spirit and LGBTQ+ students.
Download Brief
Student Association Autonomy
Student associations require autonomy over their operations in order to remain accountable to their members. This policy expresses student concerns over government intrusion onto the autonomy of student associations, most notably through the implementation of the Student Choice Initiative. It recommends that the provincial government recognize this autonomy and respect the right of universities and student associations to determine whether ancillary fees are set as mandatory or non-mandatory.
Ancillary & Incidental Fees
Ancillary fees fund services and supports that promote a safe, fulfilling, well-rounded post-secondary experience. The Student Choice Initiative, introduced in January 2019, gave students the ability to opt out of services that the provincial government deemed "non-essential." The resulting funding cuts have reduced the effectiveness and threatened the existence of services that students depend on, including student associations, sexual health centres, peer support, food banks, and campus media. Other issues include unregulated housing and administrative fees, high textbook costs, and a general lack of transparency and accountability in the collection of ancillary fees.
Student Accessibility and Disability Inclusion
OUSA believes that all willing and qualified students should have access to affordable, accountable, and high quality education in Ontario. This extends to all students, including those with disabilities or perceived disabilities. However, students with disabilities continue to face barriers to accessing and persisting in post-secondary education across the province, and many of the barriers these students face are not new. This policy paper identifies these barriers and offers recommendations to the provincial government to support a post-secondary landscape that is accessible for all students. The recommendations are intended to address the systemic, structural, social, physical, financial, and legislative barriers that students with disabilities are forced to navigate in their pursuit of post-secondary education. Each section speaks to an area of concern identified by disability scholars, organizers, support providers, and, most importantly, students themselves.
Student Entrepreneurship, Employment, & Employability
The conversation on preparing students for the workforce continues to evolve and ensuring that students have the proper skills to succeed after graduation is a growing priority. Students are interested in taking a broader approach to preparation for the workforce, focusing not only on discipline-specific knowledge, but also providing opportunities for students to develop skills inside and outside the classroom. It is OUSA's hope that these recommendations will support students as they transition into the workforce.
All willing and qualified students in Ontario should be able to access and excel within Ontario's post-secondary education system. This often means that students must seek help to pay the high prices of a university education. The financial assistance system must provide sufficient funding for qualified individuals to attend post-secondary education. What's more, any financial assistance students receive should enable them to devote their attention to their studies.
As technology advances and as the skills graduates needs to succeed in the workplace changes, post-secondary education needs to continue adapt. Students are interested in addressing the gaps in university teaching and learning, exploring more high impact learning opportunities, and highlighting the need for better inclusive learning experiences on campus. OUSA's hope is that students, staff, and faculty-alike will benefit from these recommendations to improve teaching and assessment in Ontario's universities.
Technology Enabled Learning
Advancements in technology have greatly impacted various sectors in our province, including the post-secondary sector. Ontario's institutions have had to adapt to change, but they have also been the very forces that push technological change and innovation. From online learning and classroom technology, to open educational resources and badging, the post-secondary experience continues to evolve. Despite this, students worry about the lack of consistent provincial support and strategy for technology in post-secondary education and hope that the provincial government acts to develop a system wide approach for post-secondary education.
Since the 1970s, Ontario's tuition framework has fluctuated significantly. Within a span of almost 40 years, government contributions to university operating budgets have declined, while student tuition and fees now make up over 50 percent of operating budget contributions. Without sustainable government funding, and as tuition continues to increase for all students, the affordability, accessibility, quality, and accountability of a university education is put at risk. As the tuition framework is set for renewal in 2019, students hope that the provincial government can address their concerns and take actions to restore Ontario's publicly funded post-secondary system.
Stance on Freedom of Speech and Expression
Students believe that free speech is already protected by Canadian law on their campuses, and that they are able to engage in fruitful discussions and debate. However, students are concerned about the provincial government's directive on free speech and OUSA asks that the provincial government rescind the directive. If the government does not rescind, it should address problematic elements within the policy.
Student Mobility and Credit Transfer
Ontario's post-secondary institutions continue to provide students with exciting and diverse learning opportunities across various fields of study. Today, many students are choosing to pursue non-traditional pathways, relying on the possibility of mobility and credit transfer to achieve their academic goals. With over 55,000 students transferring between Ontario's post-secondary institutions each year, it is important that students are supported by a comprehensive transfer system that will ensure their academic success.
Since 2010 mature students as an academic demographic have been recognized as a growing cohort of students within the province. Despite this recognition, mature students continue to face ongoing challenges. From financial barriers, to a lack of adequate support services, mature students feel underrepresented and often overlooked. Additionally, large portions of marginalized groups, such as Indigenous Students, attending post-secondary studies are often mature students. As a post-secondary sector that strives to provide high quality education to all of our students, we must ensure that mature students and adult learners are effectively supported throughout their academic studies.
Despite recent investments, Ontario's students are concerned about the state of mental health, physical health, sexual health, substance abuse and addictions, as well as medical accommodations within the province. In areas such as mental health, but also for many physical ailments, universities have been forced to shoulder the majority of responsibility in treating and caring for students as patients, despite being underequipped and not-designed to provide these services. Furthermore, substance abuse rates continue to rise in university aged youth, and many students feel that they are lacking the sexual health resources they need while attending post secondary studies.
System Vision
OUSA's System Vision policy is a broad based look at the structure and function of Ontario's post-secondary system, both in regards to its short-term and long-term development. Throughout the past decade, Ontario has seen unprecedented growth in undergraduate enrolment across universities and colleges, successfully achieving the highest provincial post-secondary attainment in Canada. However, some of this growth has created issues surrounding the accessibility, affordability and quality of education. Students recommend that the province develops an effective and balanced funding model, commits to a moderate differentiation policy, promotes sustainable capacity expansion, and returns the university sector to one that is publicly funded, as opposed to publicly assisted.
As publicly assisted institutions, universities have a variety of accountability mechanisms to ensure that they are adhering to public goals and priorities. Over the years, there has been no question as to whether or not institutions should be held accountable, due to their use of public dollars. Taxpayers and politicians alike still feel the need for universities to be accountable to government, despite the decline in government funding. In an effort to attempt to address this, the government developed Multi-Year Accountability Agreements with each institution. These agreements were designed with the intention of holding universities accountable to their own strategic initiatives, however, the framework failed to see much success. As a result, the government revised their accountability plan and created the Strategic Mandate Agreements, which are currently entering their second iteration.
Reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations is not easily achieved. Nevertheless, it is essential.Within the scope of Ontario's university sector, this means ensuring that Indigenous peoples are encouraged and enabled to equitably access, engage, and succeed throughout their post-secondary careers and beyond. The best way to ensure that universities can provide engaging and meaningful experiences for Indigenous students is to pursue a path towards reconciliation via 'decolonization' and 'Indigenization'.
Housing, Transit, & Community Development
This policy paper aims to illustrate what students believe to be underappreciated issues and concerns in their municipalities. Though tensions tend to run high between temporary and permanent residents in cities with post-secondary institutions, universities contribute largely to the growth of local economies. Given the significant impact that universities have on their communities, attention should be paid to maintaining and strengthening relationships between university students and their municipalities.
International Students and Education
International education comprises several elements: increased international student access and retention within domestic institutions, growth in numbers of domestic students pursuing opportunities to study abroad, and diversifying institutional administration, staff, faculty, and services to promote internationalization. It is imperative that the Government of Ontario takes steps to enhance each of these areas in order to internationalize its university sector and remain competitive with other jurisdictions around the world.
A Comprehensive Access Strategy
All willing and qualified students in Ontario should be able to access and excel within Ontario's post-secondary education system. Access, as a policy term, should have a singular meaning across Ontario that is separate from retention and persistence. The provincial government should reduce barriers to university access by developing and implementing a comprehensive access strategy. This strategy should holistically address all barriers to post-secondary education, ensuring equitable access to university for all Ontarians.
Sexual Violence Prevention & Response
Everyone must play a role in creating a world free of sexual violence. If we do not, we are accepting its existence as an inevitable part of our society. All survivors—regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ability, or heritage—should be supported in ways that allow them to seek justice in meaningful ways and safely pursue their education. Student unions have played a critical role on campus, providing programming, training, and support and offer these recommendations as a blueprint for success.
Rural & Northern Students
All willing and qualified students from rural and northern communities should be able to access and excel within Ontario's post-secondary education system. Ontario's universities are in highly urbanized centers predominantly located in the south of the province. The remoteness of rural and northern students from these universities, combined with the diversity of their populations, means that barriers to university participation for youth in these areas have to be understood as complex, multifaceted, and interrelated. These factors are also compounded by the fact that post-secondary dropout rates are much higher in rural communities (14.8%) compared to the rest of Ontario (8.6%), which means these communities have lower proportions of university graduates, as well as fewer employment opportunities for degree holders.
Promoting Success through the Broader Learning Environment
There is much more to higher education than just attending class. Within the broader learning environment of university is a world of opportunity for students who want to gain work experience, engage in co-curricular activities, and have access to support when they're unsure of their path or are struggling academically.

A Guide to Saving On Travel Costs Traveling offers the perfect way to explore the world and also escape from a nerve-racking environment plus switch off from your daily routine. A lot of people have not yet learned the skill of coming up with a budget of the amount that they are willing to spend prior to the actual travel. It is easy for some people, especially those that have traveled a lot of times, to make a travel budget while it is very hard for the first timers. Ensuring that you get to make your travel and accommodation bookings in advance is the first step in saving on your expenditure. Making reservations weeks or months before you get to arrive at your destination is possible. In comparison to when the demand for both the transportation and accommodation services are high, booking during the low season will help you in getting the best places at a cheaper price. There are a lot of accommodation offers that will be available for you to choose from and this means that you need to do so when you have ample time. Some of the things that you have to put into consideration while also considering the cost of the place are the space that is available, the number of people that you are going to stay with, availability of meals, security and also the hygiene of the place. As a cheaper alternative to traveling to the transport company or all the way to your travel destination so as to make your bookings, you can comfortably do so in your home with the use of the internet.
It is recommended that you choose a staying place that is centrally located in regards to the places that you want to explore as this will aid you in saving a lot of travel costs. Of importance to know is the fact that a lot of the taxi owners and also drivers will get to exploit you in terms of transport charges when they detect that you are a visitor and therefore choosing a place that is close to the tourist attraction center will help you know how much you should pay for. If you are in a position to walk, you can do this as a way of putting aside the money for use in more necessary expenditures.
Flexibility is one of the things that will contribute greatly to the success of your trip. When you are a flexible person, you will be in position to follow the path followed by a few people such as going for vacation when a lot of people are not and also using comfortable and convenient transport companies used by a few people. Also, so as to make sure that you do not exceed your budget now and to save on costs in future, make sure that you keep track of any cash that you get to spend, however low.

Sexual assault rates decrease at military service academies
Published Feb. 12, 2015
By Claudette Roulo
DoD News, Defense Media Activity
WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Rates of unwanted sexual contact at the military service academies declined in 2014, according to a report released Feb. 11 by the Defense Department.
The annual report on sexual harassment and violence at the military service academies estimates that overall rates decreased for both men and women, indicating that nearly 200 fewer sexual assaults occurred at the academies in 2014 than in 2012.
"The academies have been working hard on prevention," said Dr. Nate Galbreath, the senior executive adviser for DOD's Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program. "Indications are that academy leadership focus on this program is contributing to an overall safer climate."
The report is a congressionally mandated annual assessment of the military's service academies.
According to Dr. Elizabeth Van Winkle, during even-numbered years, cadets and midshipmen respond to a voluntary and anonymous survey. As the deputy branch chief in the survey division at the Defense Research, Surveys and Statistics Center, she oversaw the service academy gender relations survey for 2014.
"We got about a 66 percent response rate for the three DOD academies, and that's about 82 percent of women and 63 percent for men for the response rates," she said.
In addition, the academies conduct self-assessments of their progress on eliminating sexual assault and sexual harassment, Galbreath said.
In odd-numbered years, the assessment involves visits to each of the academies by members of DOD's Sexual Assault Prevention Response Office and the service sexual assault prevention response programs, as well as focus groups conducted by the Defense Manpower Data Center, he said.
For the site visit, the DOD interviews academy sexual assault response coordinators, victim advocates, criminal investigators, attorneys, and medical providers to assess how they've been performing their duties, what problems they have encountered, and the things that they do to push the program forward and make progress.
"Then we make recommendations where we see that there's potential for improvement, or we identify things that we think are best practices and we try to share those with the other service academies," he explained.
Because the survey is voluntary, there is potential for the pool of respondents to be fundamentally different from those who choose not to participate, Van Winkle added.
"For this particular survey, because we get such high response rates, we have very good confidence in our estimates based on the scientific weighting that we do and the adjustments that we do based on that scientific rating," she said.
Increase in Unrestricted Reporting
While there was a decrease in the estimated prevalence of sexual assault, the academies received fewer formal reports of sexual assault during the same time period. However, this year, unrestricted reports outnumbered restricted reports. A victim who chooses to make an unrestricted report engages the military justice process and participates in an independent investigation.
"Victims who decide on an unrestricted report might be more confident that we'll be able to support and care for them as they go through the challenges of participating in the justice system," Galbreath said. "However, we see any report as beneficial, as it allows us a greater opportunity to provide victims with the support and services they need to restore their lives."
One element that may be driving the increase in unrestricted reports is the introduction last year of the special victims' counsel program, also known as the victims' legal counsel program in the Navy and Marine Corps, he said.
"Academy cadets and midshipmen are eligible for this program, and can have an attorney represent them throughout the military justice process. Our surveys indicate this service is highly valued by survivors," he said.
Continuum of Harm
This year's report included an anonymous survey of cadets and midshipmen. "While survey estimates indicate there were fewer sexual assaults this past academic year, responses also suggest that sexual harassment remains a problem area for the academies," said Van Winkle.
"All of these behaviors fit into a continuum of harm," she added.
Sexual harassment may act as a "green light" for potential offenders. They may get an impression they can behave any way they'd like in a permissive environment. It can also be used by the offender as both a way to groom potential victims or to keep a victim's behavior in check.
"Sexist jokes and other unacceptable gender-based behavior can be used to test boundaries with a victim … When unit members refuse to tolerate this and shut down the offender or any person who's behaving inappropriately, it sends a strong message," Galbreath said. "People that commit sexual assault aren't particularly brave folks -- they're looking for the path of least resistance. When they're called to task for sexual harassment and other grooming behaviors, it lets an offender know the military is the last place they want to be."
Though the report contains signs of progress, the department will continue to combat these problems, Galbreath said.
"This is something that we're in for the long haul; we want this problem to go away," he said. "We don't want people to believe that this is part of the military experience. When people volunteer to do the world's most dangerous work, they deserve the safest environment possible to do it in."
