Rebecca Natow, associate professor and director of the EdD in Educational Leadership & Policy Studies program and the MSEd in Higher Education Leadership & Policy Studies, was interviewed for “Higher Ed Changes Loom Under a Second Trump Administration,” that appeared in the latest issue of Governing.



The article explains that when Donald Trump becomes president, he will likely undo federal regulations enacted by the Biden administration, affecting issues such as Title IX enforcement and protections for transgender students. Those regulations were partly an undoing of Trump’s first-term policies.


“It’s been a burden because the people who are working on the college campuses implementing these policies on the ground are having to learn all new policies,” said Dr. Natow.

Dean Lukasiewicz noted that “every editing decision taken in a newsroom is now under a microscope and can be weaponized for political purposes.”

Nassau County GOP Victories Attributed to Unaffiliated Party Voters

Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, was interviewed by Newsday about GOP victories in Nassau County on Election Day. The reason for the wins was that more voters unaffiliated with a political party leaned Republican. “Whatever the Republicans were selling, the independent voters were buying,” said Levy. “Outside forces that really have nothing to do with the running of the county and who would be running it had a potentially strong impact on the outcome.”

Dr. Meena Bose appeared on WNYW-TV Fox 5 to discuss how the record-breaking turnout for early voting in New York City underscored public engagement in the mayoral race. “There is reporting that suggests total turnout on Election Day could approach 2 million.
