Following the death of Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, Dr. Meena Bose was featured in a Newsday article about his legacy.
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.
She noted that Carter served under difficult economic and political times. “But then, of course, he went on to have a highly successful post-presidency winning the Nobel Peace Prize, being highly active in public housing policy, voting rights … and really was quite active on the public scene until just a few years ago,” she said.
The article also referenced the Hofstra Cultural Center’s 1990 three-day presidential conference on the Carter administration, which President Carter and First Lady Rosalynn Carter attended.

In a Newsday article about Long Island Iranian-Americans’ reactions to recent developments involving Iran’s leadership, Dr. Paul Fritz, associate professor and chair of Hofstra’s Department of Political Science, discussed the history of the United States toppling authoritarian regimes, which, he said, rarely leads to new democracies or stable leadership without extensive American support. “The Trump administration is banking on the people rising up and demanding some change to the regime,” Dr. Fritz said. “Foreign imposed regime change doesn’t work very often.”

Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, was interviewed by the Investigative Post for the article: “Housing shortage could cost New York politically.” New York’s persistent housing shortage, driven in part by restrictive local zoning and slow homebuilding, is contributing to population loss that could cost the state two U.S. House seats after the 2030 Census as people relocate to more affordable areas. Levy said that because housing policy is handled town by town, many communities “become villages of no,” resisting new housing and exacerbating the problem.
