Districts Were Trending Toward Reopening That All Changed One Week in November

In a grim year, the month of November was one of the grimmest for the United States. On Nov. 9, the country recorded its 10 millionth COVID-19 case, up from 9 million only ten days earlier. By month’s end, the 7-day rolling average of daily cases had doubled, from over 80,000 on Nov. 1 to more than 160,000 after Thanksgiving. The virus claimed lives at an alarming rate, with more than 2,000 daily deaths reported for the first time since the spring. And public health officials warned that the worst was still to come. That scuttled hopes that students would be returning to classrooms en masse, as many districts based their reopening plans on local infection counts. After steadily moving toward offering attendance structures with some in-person component over the course of the fall, districts around the country turned back to only offering remote-learning during the month of November.

Chinese students have cooled on US Could Biden change that?

Universities in the U.S. have come to rely on revenue from Chinese students, who contributed $14.9 billion to the economy in 2018 alone. But growth has leveled off, after years of double-digit increases – for reasons ranging from concerns about gun violence to Trump administration policies on China. Now institutions are wondering if a Biden administration might do enough to reverse the trend of a thinning pipeline. The incoming president has signaled his appreciation for the talent and diversity international students bring, and announced plans to grant green cards to foreign graduates of U.S. doctoral programs.  Why We Wrote This The pandemic looks likely to keep more students at home – not just logging in to class from their couch, but also studying in their own country, rather than going abroad. What’s at stake for schools?

Baton Rouge was losing GDP even before the coronavirus pandemic; bucking statewide trend

Even before the coronavirus pandemic and the economic recession it triggered happened, the Baton Rouge metro area was reporting a reduction in the gross domestic product, bucking a statewide trend.  The nine-parish region lost $910 million in GDP since 2016, coming in at $52.8 billion in 2019, according to a recent report from the U.S. Department of Commerce s Bureau of Economic Analysis. By contrast, Louisiana grew its GDP to $239 billion last year, up from $225 billion in 2016. The GDP is defined as the total value of all goods and services produced in a market.  East Baton Rouge Parish in saw its gross domestic product fall to $36.1 billion, a decline of $1.7 billion during the same time frame. 

Speaking out: North Dakota is run by big government Republicans

North Dakota Republicans claim to be the party of small government and fiscal conservatism, which is true only if you ignore how they’ve actually been running state government for the last 15 years. Contrary to the rhetoric of politicians, we live in an era of big government Republicanism. Gov. Doug Burgum recently proposed a “fiscally conservative” $15 billion state budget for the next two years. That’s about $330 million higher than the previous two years, which continues a trend. Only once since 2005 has state spending decreased from one biennium to the next. Spending has increased dramatically in the last 15 years, all while Republicans have controlled the purse strings. Even when adjusting for inflation, the state’s budget has nearly tripled since 2005. Our state’s leaders might talk like fiscal conservatives, but they have no problem spending like liberal Democrats.
