BUFFALO GROVE, Ill., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Profile^® Products today announced the start of a game-changing $9 million manufacturing expansion project, an important investment that will provide a significant increase in capacity, improved logistics and enhanced safety and quality systems for Profile’s sustainable product lines.

Golden Gate University School of Law Launches Journal Focused on Social Justice Issues

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Students at Golden Gate University School of Law proudly launched the GGU Race, Gender, Sexuality, and Social Justice Law Journal on Monday, the first online-only journal at the school and one of…

The student-edited journal will provide a platform for practitioners, students, judges, and academics to write about race, gender, sexuality, and social justice via a born-digital format.

«As a group of diverse law students, we saw the need for a new journal that gave minority students on campus a platform to publish on issues that directly impact our communities,» said Founding Editor-In-Chief Silvia Chairez-Perez JD/MBA ’21. «As John Lewis once wrote, ‘Every successful movement needs to have achievable goals to give the people involved some victories. That keeps them focused, keeps them going.’ We hope this journal will elevate the voices of liberators to keep the movement going.»

Chairez-Perez is joined by two other co-founders, Managing Editor Tiffany E. Avila ’21 and Online Editor Bacilio Mendez II JD/MBA ’20, LLM ’21. The Founding Faculty Advisor is Professor Jyoti Nanda.

The students unveiled the journal web site on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Students will contribute short-form blog posts throughout the academic year, then publish a first edition of scholarly articles in late spring.

GGU Law is a well-respected leader in the education of race, gender, and social justice issues, and it serves predominantly Black, brown, LGBTQ, and other minority law students. Given these strengths, Nanda said, the school is perfectly positioned to host a platform for its faculty and students to publish scholarly work focused on these and related issues.

«The launch of this journal comes at a pivotal moment in our country’s history amid a reckoning with the dynamics of race and gender, particularly with respect to police interactions with Black and Brown communities,» Nanda said. «These three GGU students are true visionaries. They created a journal to analyze social justice legal issues with an intersectional lens that takes into account race, gender, and sexuality—issues and voices often missing in legal academic literature.»

«As someone who has spent her entire career as a scholar activist on legal issues impacting communities of color with an intersectional approach,» Nanda added, «I deeply appreciate the need for complexity and depth when addressing social justice issues.»

The founders included both words «sexuality» and «gender» in the journal’s title to acknowledge the distinction between the two and to encourage students and other writers to engage in meaningful scholarship on both topics.

Mendez said that, as a long-time activist and ally fighting on behalf of and alongside friends living with HIV/AIDS, he struggled with how to reconcile the need to step back from activism to attend law school.

«I founded this journal with Silvia and Tiffany,» he said, «to help ease the path for other queer agitators-turned-academics who struggle with the transition from direct action to legal advocacy. To them I say, this journal is proof positive that being in school does not mean that you have to be silent.»

The journal complements GGU’s three other publications: the GGU Law Review, the GGU Environmental Law Journal, and the GGU Annual Survey of International and Comparative Law.

GGU Law Interim Dean Eric C. Christiansen agreed that the moment is ripe to augment the school’s current scholarly publications with one dedicated to the law’s capacity to advance social justice.

«My wish is that this will give voice to those whose stories are too often overlooked,» Christiansen said, «that it will empower legal advocates to pursue inclusive, meaningful equality in necessary and novel ways, and it will connect a broad community of scholars and activists to the work of justice.»

Students intentionally launched the journal on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Chairez-Perez said, to acknowledge the tenor of the times and the emergence of a «new civil rights movement.»

Located in San Francisco, Golden Gate University School of Law provides students with a solid foundation in legal theory and the skills necessary to be a successful practitioner. GGU Law has a special commitment to public interest law. In addition to a strong public interest law curriculum, the school offers financial assistance to students who pursue careers in public interest law, and our in-house clinics provide legal assistance to underrepresented populations. GGU students reflect a wide variety of ages, work experience, and cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. GGU’s 700 law students include working professionals and recent college graduates from more than 100 undergraduate and graduate institutions.

Zillow Survey Predicts Austin will be the Nation’s Hottest Housing Market in 2021, Leading a Sunbelt Surge

SEATTLE, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Austin will be America’s hottest housing market in 2021, leading a list of mostly Sun Belt cities expected to continue heating up faster than the nation’s large coastal markets, according to a new…

SEATTLE, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Austin will be America’s hottest housing market in 2021, leading a list of mostly Sun Belt cities expected to continue heating up faster than the nation’s large coastal markets, according to a new Zillow® survey of experts.

The booming Texas destination heads a lineup of sunny and relatively affordable metro areas — Phoenix, Nashville, Tampa and Denver — that are most likely to outperform the nation in home value growth, according to a panel of economists and real estate experts recently surveyed by Zillow.

The Zillow Home Price Expectations Survey, sponsored by Zillow and conducted quarterly by Pulsenomics LLC, asks a large panel of economists, investment strategists and real estate experts for their predictions about the U.S. housing market. The Q4 survey also asked about their expectations for 2021 home value growth in 20 large markets compared to the nation¹.

An overwhelming 84% of those surveyed said Austin values would out-perform the national average, compared to just 9% who believe it would fare worse. Phoenix came in second with 69%, followed by Nashville (67%), Tampa (60%), and Denver (56%). Page views on Zillow for-sale listings in Austin by out-of-town searchers were up 87% in November compared to 2019.

The top-five metros are all affordable options compared to expensive coastal areas that have led home appreciation ranks in recent years, providing relative value for Millennials looking to take advantage of low mortgage rates to buy their first home. The top five are also, for the most part, sunny locales. Four of the five counties holding the largest cities in these MSAs all rank in the top-third of counties in the contiguous U.S. for average daily sunlight, according to NASA data analysed in The Washington Post. Davidson County, home to Nashville, ranked just below the midline.

«The pandemic has not upended the housing market so much as accelerated trends we saw coming into 2020,» said Zillow senior economist Jeff Tucker. «These Sun Belt destinations are migration magnets thanks to relatively affordable, family-sized homes, booming economies and sunny weather. Record-low mortgage rates and the increased demand for living space, coupled with a surge of Millennials buying their first homes, will keep the pressure on home prices there for the foreseeable future.»

An improved economic outlook thanks to COVID-19 vaccine roll-outs and better treatments was pegged as the most likely tailwind for the housing market in 2021, followed by sustained strength in first-time home buying among Millennials. It proved a powerful demand driver in 2020 and is expected to persist for years to come.

Those looking for homes — especially their first — will enter a competitive market. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage, working with a trusted agent and taking advantage of online research tools are a few tips shoppers can use to get a leg up.

Austin was predicted to be the hottest market in last year’s survey, and that proved true. By mid-December the median list price for homes in the Austin metropolitan area was up 23.6% year over year — the largest rise among the 50 largest U.S. markets.

«During the pandemic I think a lot of people spending a big portion of their paycheck on rent or mortgage in cities like New York and San Francisco started working from home and suddenly had options. Their dollar goes a lot further in the South, the climate is better, and Austin has a lot to offer — from the food scene to outdoor activities and live music,» said Thomas Brown, a Zillow Premier Agent in Austin and CEO of The Agency Texas. «Those factors are going to continue drawing people into the Austin market in 2021.»

Expensive coastal cities are predicted to fall short of the national average — 82% of respondents said New York would see sub-par growth in 2021. San Francisco (77%) and Los Angeles (67%) round out the bottom of the 20-city list.

Tight supply conditions and affordability concerns were each cited by 29% of the panelists as the greatest headwind.

«While sustained tailwinds are forecasted this year across most of the shifting U.S. housing landscape, certain densely populated markets with high-priced real estate face prevailing headwinds,» said Terry Loebs, founder of Pulsenomics. «Accordingly, home value appreciation rates within coastal cities such as New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles are projected to see a downshift from last year’s remarkable levels.»
