President Marvin Krislov is quoted in The Hindustan Times about the large increase in students from India attending U.S. colleges.

Professor Bennett Gershman examines the controversial actions of Supreme Court Justices who attended a Federalist Society Celebration in an article in the New York Law Journal.

"There is a vast difference between audiences raising legitimate concerns about exploitative, LGBTQ-mediated representations and queerbaiting, and the online trolling of Kit Connor," says Melvin Williams, associate professor of communication and media studies at Pace University.

Haub Law Professor Jonathan Bandler writes about cybersecurity:

Cybersecurity is important for every business so we now tour some essential basics. Cybercrime has created a unique mix of criminal and civil issues that affect business and consumers and the legal requirements are growing. Cybersecurity is about people and their decisions.
