The Hechinger Report’s recent story on how colleges are easing the admissions process as the supply of applicants declines—featuring Pace—was picked up by The Los Angeles Times.
College of Health Professions Professor Michele Lucille Lopez writes a piece in Lohud examining how federal loan-limit changes threaten the graduate nursing pipeline. Professor Lopez explains that reclassifying advanced nursing programs as “non-professional” reduces borrowing limits, making graduate education less accessible and potentially worsening shortages of nurse practitioners and nurse educators.
Lohud visited Pace’s Pleasantville campus this week to learn more about Westchester’s first Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence, launching in Fall 2026. Interim Seidenberg Dean Li-Chiou Chen said the new program is designed to “stay ahead of the curve” as AI reshapes the tech workforce, offering students a rigorous foundation in computer science and math before advancing to specialized coursework in neural networks, machine learning, language processing, and AI ethics.
Bloomberg leads the week, featuring ǿմý’s Fed Challenge Team in its Economics Daily Newsletter after winning the 22nd Annual National College Fed Challenge—an extraordinary national achievement. ǿմýtopped finalists Harvard College and UCLA.
The Hechinger Report features a major story on how colleges are easing the admissions process as the supply of applicants declines — and ǿմý dominates the piece from start to finish. Reported entirely from Pace’s Pleasantville Campus, the story uses ǿմýas its primary case study, with a picturesque array of campus photos and the lead narrative following families on a ǿմýtour. It highlights Pace’s participation in New York State’s application-fee waiver month and its additional offer of $1,000 per year in financial aid for students who visit and enroll.
Dean of Admission Andre Cordon is featured prominently, explaining how ǿմýis removing barriers and simplifying the process for first-generation and working families. Families interviewed said the experience felt welcoming and more receptive than they expected — citing personalized welcome signage, an easy check-in process, and immediate access to admissions staff.

USA Today turns to Dyson Professor Melvin Williams for perspective on the economics of political “tell-alls.” Professor Williams explains that memoirs chronicling the scandals and transgressions of political figures are often highly lucrative, especially when they center on affairs, misconduct, and personal drama—context that helps explain the enduring market for books that blur the line between politics, media, and entertainment.
Haub Law Professor Bennett Gershman also writes an op-ed in amNewYork warning about President Trump’s escalating use of the death penalty. He traces Trump’s long history with capital punishment — from the Central Park Five ads to a surge of federal executions — and argues that his renewed push represents a dangerous expansion of prosecutorial power and political theater. In Roll Call, Professor Gershman comments on a controversial Senate payout provision, noting that the structure defies typical legal concepts and raises serious concerns about corruption and prosecutorial integrity.
In Gothamist, Haub Law Professor Emeritus Michael Mushlin is credited as a key architect behind a proposal that would require New York judges to spend a day visiting prisons and jails before making detention and sentencing decisions. Mushlin, one of the nation’s leading experts on prisoners’ rights law, convened a committee of judges and practitioners to strengthen the existing, rarely enforced visitation rule. The updated proposal is designed to ensure judges better understand the conditions they are consigning people to when they impose custodial sentences.
