Dean of the Lawrence Herbert School of Communication Mark Lukasiewicz was interviewed by The Washington Post and Newsday about the historic debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump broadcast by CNN.
“The pressure is on CNN to make this a good debate for the voters and for their viewers,” Dean Lukasiewicz told the Post.
Because the debate will be held in the CNN studios without an audience, he told Newsday that it would not be the usual “public spectacle” of earlier encounters. “I think it’s going to be a very different atmosphere. And I think the result on television is also going to be very different,” Dean Lukasiewicz said.
Mark Lukasiewicz is a veteran producer, journalist, and media executive who has spent his professional career telling important stories to worldwide audiences and helping media organizations deal with transformational change.

Hofstra Law Professor Julian G. Ku has been featured in multiple news outlets, providing expert legal analysis on global issues and interpretations of international law. In a Newsweek article on China’s cancellation of flights to Japan, Prof. Ku provided commentary on how political pressures could play into fractious China-Japan relations. Prof. Ku also spoke with Dutch daily newspaper Trouw about China’s evolving vision of international law, explaining how Chinese leaders emphasize state sovereignty while downplaying human rights norms — a perspective that resonates in parts of the Global South. In Trouw, he described this selective approach as part of China’s broader effort to reshape the narrative around the postwar legal order. The Maurice A. Deane Distinguished Professor of Constitutional Law at Hofstra Law and Faculty Director of International Programs, Prof. Ku teaches and writes on international and constitutional law.

Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, is featured in the Politico report “Suburbia’s ICE Shift,” about voters – particularly those in suburban counties – souring on President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation campaign. This is significant because the suburbs are a key indicator of how the national mood has dramatically shifted over the last month.
