Seton Hall University faculty were featured in a variety of national and regional media outlets in January, providing expert commentary on subjects including economics, labor negotiations, state policy, and legal issues. The university’s experts contributed to coverage that reached millions.
Danielle Zanzalari, assistant professor of economics at the Stillman School of Business, wrote op-eds for Daily Caller and National Review addressing the relationship between federal policy and consumer finance. In her National Review piece, Zanzalari stated: “Prices are not arbitrarily set. They signal risk, allocate scarce resources and determine who is served in the market. Ignoring that reality does not eliminate risk. Those basic principles apply just as much to credit markets, and policies that ignore them come with predictable consequences.”
Ines Murzaku, director of the Catholic Studies Department, discussed Mother Teresa’s influence on atheism in Albania in an op-ed for National Catholic Register. Murzaku wrote: “Catholic tradition sees social transformation beginning not in slogans but in the human person: conscience, then heart, then hope.”
Dean Emerita of Management Karin Boroff spoke to the New York Post about causes and effects related to an ongoing nurses strike and labor negotiations. Boroff and political science professor Matt Hale also gave analysis on political and labor developments to NJ.com and Spectrum News NY1 during a period marked by a nurses strike, gubernatorial inauguration, and changes in state policy. Dawn Apgar, director of the undergraduate social work program, provided comments to NJ Spotlight News regarding New Jersey’s updates to outpatient treatment regulations.
Seton Hall Law School faculty appeared widely in major media as well. Dean Ronald Weich provided constitutional analysis amid national political uncertainty for BINJE; Katri Nousiainen discussed artificial intelligence and law with The National Law Review; while Professor John Kip Cornwell analyzed mental health conservatorship and criminal law issues for The New York Times. These appearances highlighted Seton Hall Law School’s commitment to legal scholarship and innovation.
The range of expert commentary reflects Seton Hall’s continued presence in public discourse through its faculty contributions.
