Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has been accused of plagiarizing her 2009 book, “Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor’s Plan to Make Us Safer,” that was released while she was district attorney of San Francisco.


Dr. Meena Bose discussed this with FOX news radio affiliates around the country, including WBAP in Dallas, TX; WFRK in Florence, SC; WFLA in Orlando, FL; KFTK in St. Louis, MO; WTVN in Columbus, Oh; and WILS in Lansing, MI.



Dr. Bose is professor of political science, executive dean of the Public Policy and Public Service program, and executive director of the Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency.

Severe Weather Events Mean Officials Must Be Ready for the Unexpected

Dr. Jase Bernhardt, associate professor in Hofstra’s Department of Geology, Environment, and Sustainability, was interviewed by Newsday for the article “Long Island storm prep increasingly means expect the unexpected.” Supervisors in Suffolk and Nassau Counties must have response plans for extreme and sudden weather events, which have been occurring with more frequency due to climate change and inadequate drainage systems. Though meteorologists have the ability to issue a flood watch alert between 12 to 24 hours in advance of an approaching storm, the more actionable and localized alerts people want arrive much later. “It’s great to have that notice … but you still can’t always pinpoint that exact locality, which is always frustrating to people,” Dr. Bernhardt said. “To pinpoint at that level, like what county or what town, unfortunately might only come very close to when the flooding actually happens.”

President Turns Up the Heat on Corporate America

NPR interviewed Dr. Meena Bose for its report: “Trump is tightening the screws on corporate America — and CEOs are staying mum.” President Trump recently demanded the resignation of Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, which Dr. Bose called “one of the most aggressive public statements the president has made.” She added, “So much of President Trump’s second term is really charting an independent path, with very little attention to precedent — or in some ways, almost a rejection of precedent.” Dr. Bose is Hofstra University professor of political science, executive dean of the Public Policy and Public Service program, and director of the Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency.

President Puts the Heat on U.S. CEOs

The Wall Street Journal interviewed Dr. Meena Bose about President Donald Trump upping public pressure on CEOs and telling them how to conduct their business. Recently he called for Intel’s chief executive to resign and told Detroit carmakers not to raise prices. Dr. Bose explained that this level of interference is highly unusual. “This is certainly not an approach the United States has seen in modern American politics,” she said. “It’s government bending economic interests.” Dr. Bose is a Hofstra University professor of political science, executive dean of the Public Policy and Public Service program, and director of the Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency.
