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.

Planned Changes to EPA Policy Likely to Impact Public Health and Safety

Dr. Jase Bernhardt, associate professor in Hofstra’s Department of Geology, Environment, and Sustainability, was interviewed by Newsday about the planned revocation of 2009’s endangerment finding, and how it may impact health and safety on Long Island. The endangerment finding was a scientific declaration that determined carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health. Dr. Bernhardt said the consequences from rescinding the endangerment finding will be damaging but suggests they are likely to be incremental and slower for the public to discern. “It’s going to be more gradual,” he said. “There’s not going to be that singular event where you can say ‘this definitely had an immediate effect right here.’ It’s a long term change.”
