Constitutional Law Professor James Sample was interviewed by The Washington Post about the continued legal challenges faced by allies of Donald Trump who spread falsehoods and tried to reverse his 2020 presidential loss.
“It’s almost like the very top of the food chain is going to go and get off without consequence. And the very bottom of the food chain – those who actually engaged in the day-of kind of activities – are going to be pardoned,” said Professor Sample. “But the folks who were in a sense the field leaders … seem to be the ones who are going to have the most lasting consequences.”
Professor Sample regularly comments on voting rights and constitutional issues in leading media outlets.

WCBS-TV, WPIX 11, and WNYW Fox 5 interviewed Dr. Jase Bernhardt, Hofstra associate professor of geology, environment, and sustainability, about his virtual reality program designed to teach the public about the danger of driving in a snow squall. Funded by a $100,000 Road to Zero Community Traffic Safety Grant from the National Safety Council, Dr. Bernhardt’s project emphasizes the importance of heeding emergency weather advisories and what drivers should do if they are on the road when a snow squall occurs. Users wear a headset and hold a device – like a video game controller – in each hand to replicate the movements of a steering wheel. Bernhardt’s collaborators include Assistant Professor of Sustainability Sasha Pesci; software developer Frank Martin ’22, ’23, who earned both a BS and an MS in Computer Science from Hofstra University; and John Banghoff and other meteorologists at the U.S. National Weather Service (NSW) Office, State College, PA.
