Ranking of the 100 Best Value Online Colleges & Universities for 2021 Continued from page 1 College Consensus (https://www.collegeconsensus.com/), a college rating website that aggregates publisher rankings and student reviews, has published their ranking of the Best Value Online Colleges and Universities for 2021 at https://www.collegeconsensus. com/rankings/best-value-online-colleges/. This is an excellent time for online education, but not all online programs are created equal. Many online schools cater to different needs or constituents, such as working adults. And many schools hide fees making it difficult for prospective students to obtain a real cost assessment. That is why College Consensus created a ranking of the Best Value Online Colleges and Universities to help students identify reputable schools with real value. To qualify for the Best Value Online Colleges and Universities ranking, institutions

must have a Consensus Score, offer at least 3 bachelor’s degree or bachelor’s completion programs in an online or hybrid format, and be affordable. Schools are ranked according to their out-of-state tuition and fees. The top three schools in the Best Value Online Colleges and Universities ranking for 2021 are (1) Eastern Illinois University, (2) University of North Dakota, and (3) Fitchburg State University. Next in the 50 top ranked schools are (in ranking order): Westfield State University University of Wisconsin--Stevens Point University of South Florida SUNY College at Oswego California State University--East Bay Florida International University The University of West Florida Texas Tech University California State University--Chico

University of Alabama at Birmingham University of North Carolina Wilmington Appalachian State University University of Central Florida Concordia University--Saint Paul Radford University Brescia University East Carolina University Central Washington University University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus Washington State University University of Oklahoma--Norman Campus University of Utah University of Missouri--St Louis University of Idaho University of Illinois at Chicago John Brown University University of Kansas University of Missouri--Columbia

Louisiana State University--Agricultural and Mechanical College University of Florida Webster University Southern Illinois University--Carbondale Temple University Colorado State University--Fort Collins Oregon State University LeTourneau University Rutgers University--Camden University of Iowa Rutgers University--Newark The University of Tennessee--Knoxville Rutgers University--New Brunswick Albertus Magnus College Lewis University Mount Mercy University University of South Carolina--Columbia Westminster College (UT) Buena Vista University

1 In 3 Remote Workers May Quit If Required To Return To The Office Full Time, Robert Half Survey Finds More companies are calling workers back to the office, but will they readily return? A new study by global staffing firm Robert Half shows that about 1 in 3 professionals (34%) currently working from home due to the pandemic would look for a new job if required to be in the office full time. What Workers Want Nearly half of all employees surveyed (49%) said they prefer a hybrid work arrangement, where they can divide time between the office and another location. Even if given the opportunity to be fully remote, professionals expressed the following concerns in doing so: 1. Relationships with coworkers could suffer: 28%

2. Decreased productivity while at home: 26% 3. Fewer career advancement opportunities due to a lack of visibility: 20% At the same time, workers may not be ready to return to the office, and employers may want to consider what could help ease their transition back on-site. Professionals said the top ways their company can support them include: 1. Freedom to set preferred office hours 2. A personal, distraction-free workspace 3. Employer-paid commuting costs 4. Relaxed dress code 5. Employer-provided childcare “After a year of drastic change, many business leaders are

eager to restore a sense of normalcy and welcome staff back to the office,” said Paul McDonald, senior executive director at Robert Half. “But reopening doors will bring new obstacles for companies to navigate. Not all employees will be ready — or willing — to return to the workplace, so staying flexible and responsive to their needs will be critical.” McDonald added, “Regardless of timing, companies should take a measured and carefully planned office re-entry approach and keep employees’ health and safety top of mind. Leaders should also use the opportunity to solicit staff feedback to shape corporate culture for the future.” For tips on managing change as staff return to the office, visit the Robert Half blog.

The Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters is partnering with high schools across Illinois to offer career pathways to students interested in the building trades. The Regional Council’s Career Connections program is designed to help high school teachers introduce students to basic and intermediate carpentry, advanced skills in commercial and residential construction, and the essentials of construction site safety. The program also includes training in the employability that research shows employers value most, including: goal setting, positive attitude, punctuality, teamwork, and taking initiative. “The Career Connections program is designed to introduce students to a lifelong career in the Carpenters Union,” said Gary Perinar, executive secretary-treasurer of the Chicago Regional Council. “This is a cost-effective initiative for high schools with materials written by United Brotherhood of Carpenters’ instructors who are the best at what they do. The response from students has been outstand-

ing and we look forward to partnering with more high schools across the state.” Career Connections fills the void of vocational education programs that were once ubiquitous in high schools but have become increasingly rare over the past 50 years. Teacher support is a major feature of the program. All books come with an annotated edition that provides teacher class notes, rubrics for each project, project evaluations, a tool safety operation checklist, a comprehensive skills matrix, and estimated timelines for teaching. “The curriculum was created to help high schools start their own program, said Vince Sticca, director of the Chicago Regional Council’s Apprentice and Training Program. “We have a complete program that tells you what tools you need, as well as project blueprints and step-by-step information. It’s a tremendous resource.” To learn more about the Career Connections Program, visit chicap.org or call (847) 640-7373.

POLITISCOPE

CBD, marijuana and hemp: What is the difference among these cannabis products, and which are legal? BY BRANDON MCFADDEN AND TREY MALONE New York recently became the 15th U.S. state to legalize cannabis for recreational use. While 67% of U.S. adults support marijuana legalization, public knowledge about cannabis is low. A third of Americans think hemp and marijuana are the same thing, according to the National Institutes of Health, and many people still search Google to find out whether cannabidiol – a cannabis derivative known as CBD – will get them high, as marijuana does. Hemp, marijuana and CBD are all related, but they differ in significant ways. Here’s what you need to know about their legality, effects and potential health benefits. Hemp, marijuana and cannabanoidals Both hemp and marijuana belong to the same species, Cannabis sativa, and the two plants look somewhat similar. However, substantial variation can exist within a species. After all, great Danes and chihuahuas are both dogs, but they have obvious differences. The defining difference between hemp and marijuana is their psychoactive component: tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. Hemp has 0.3% or less THC, meaning

hemp-derived products don’t contain enough THC to create the “high” traditionally associated with marijuana. CBD is a compound found in cannabis. There are hundreds of such compounds, which are termed “cannabinoids,” because they interact with receptors involved in a variety of functions like appetite, anxiety, depression and pain sensation. THC is also a cannabinoid. Clinical research indicates that CBD is effective at treating epilepsy. Anecdotal evidence suggests it can help with pain and even anxiety – though scientifically the jury is still out on that. Marijuana, containing both CBD and more THC than hemp, has demonstrated therapeutic benefits for people with epilepsy, nausea, glaucoma and potentially even multiple sclerosis and opioid-dependency disorder. However, medical research on marijuana is severely restricted by federal law. The Drug Enforcement Agency categorizes cannabis as a Schedule 1 substance, meaning it handles cannabis as if there is no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Scientists don’t know exactly how CBD works, nor how it interacts with other cannabinoids like THC to give marijuana its added therapeutic effects.

Retail CBD CBD comes in food, tinctures and oils, just to name a few. Here are some commonly used terms used to describe CBD products in the store. While the terms “CBD tincture” and “CBD oil” are often used interchangeably, the two are actually different. Tinctures are made by soaking cannabis in alcohol, while oils are made by suspending CBD in a carrier oil, like olive or coconut oil. “Pure” CBD, also called “CBD isolate,” is called that because all other cannabinoids have been removed. So have terpenes and flavonoids, which give marijuana its strong aroma and earthy flavor. “Broad spectrum” CBD typically contains at least three other cannabinoids, as well as some terpenes and flavonoids – but still no THC. “Full spectrum” CBD, also called “whole flower” CBD, is similar to broad spectrum but can contain up to 0.3% THC. In states where recreational marijuana is legal, the list of cannabis-derived products greatly expands to include CBD with much higher THC content than 0.3%. There is no standardized dosage of CBD. Some retailers may have enough knowledge to make a recommendation for first-timers. There are also online resources – like this dosage calculator. Consumers concerned about

content and the accuracy of CBD products, which are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, can look for certification from independent lab testing or by scanning a QR code on product packaging. Note that CBD oil is different from hemp oil – which comes from pressing cannabis seeds, and may not contain CBD – and hempseed oil, which is a source of essential fatty acids and contains no CBD. It’s a nutritional supplement, more like fish oil than CBD oil. Legal status Another big difference among hemp, marijuana and CBD is how the law treats them. Though 15 states have now legalized recreational marijuana, it remains illegal federally in the United States. Technically, those in possession of marijuana in a legal weed state can still be punished under federal law, and traveling across state borders with cannabis is prohibited. Hemp, on the other hand, was made legal to grow and sell in the United States in the 2018 Farm Bill. One would assume, then, that hemp-derived CBD should be federally legal in every state because the THC levels don’t surpass 0.3%. But CBD occupies a legal gray area. Several states, such as Nebraska and Idaho, still essentially regulate CBD

oil as a Schedule 1 substance akin to marijuana. Our recent study found that Americans perceive hemp and CBD to be more like over-the-counter medication and THC to be more like a prescription drug. Still, the average person in the U.S. does not view hemp, CBD, THC or even marijuana in the same light as illicit substances like meth and cocaine – even though both are classified by the DEA as having a lower potential for abuse than marijuana. The current federal prohibition of marijuana, in other words, does not align with the public’s view – though state-based legalization shows that society is moving on without the blessing of politicians on Capitol Hill. U.S. recreational marijuana retail sales may reach US$8.7 billion in 2021, up from $6.7 billion in 2016. As interest in other cannabinoids, like cannabigerol, or CBG – which some are touting as the new CBD – continues to grow, so too grows the need for further medical research into cannabis.

EEOC Condemns Violence Against Asian Americans And Pacific Islanders In The United States The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) unanimously approved a resolution condemning the recent violence, harassment, and acts of bias against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States. The resolution reaffirms the Commission’s commitment to combat all forms of harassment and discrimination against

members of AAPI communities, and to ensure equal opportunity, inclusion, and dignity for all in the workplace. “The Commission condemns the recent violence and discrimination against AAPI persons in the strongest possible terms,” said EEOC Chair Charlotte A. Burrows. “Hatred, xenophobia, and racism violate our nation’s core principles.

The Commission stands in solidarity with the victims, their families, and AAPI communities across the nation, and we pledge to work together to address harassment, bias, and discrimination in the workplace.” The EEOC advances equal opportunity in the workplace by enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination.

New Report: Patients Pay the Price with Proliferation of Substandard Health Plans A new report published by 30 patient organizations shows the significant risks patients face when they enroll in non-compliant and substandard health insurance products, and details ways state and federal lawmakers can help protect these vulner-

able consumers. The report, “Under-Covered: How ‘Insurance-Like’ Products Are Leaving Patients Exposed,” issued by a coalition representing millions of people with pre-existing conditions, details eight different types of “non-compliant plans” that

www.citizennewspapergroup.com

do not adhere to Affordable Care Act (ACA) consumer protections like coverage for pre-existing conditions, elimination of annual and lifetime coverage limits, and coverage for essential health benefits. The plans have proliferated in recent years, and in many

cases, are marketed to consumers who don’t fully understand what they’re purchasing. As a result, patients are often vulnerable to exorbitant medical bills. This report serves as a warning to consumers to avoid these plans – and a call to action to lawmakers.
