Pace Now

But there are few tools available to hold the justice accountable, says Pace University Law Prof. Bennett Gershman. Thomas' willingness to receive such benefits, including trips and vacations which total in the millions of dollars, is almost “certainly unlawful and ethically reprehensible,” Bennett Gershman, a former New York prosecutor and law professor at Pace University, told Salon. “We have never seen a situation like this before,” Gershman said. “Thomas could be removed from the Supreme Court for his misconduct but won’t be. He won’t leave voluntarily even if he doesn’t like the pay. He has lifetime tenure. His position appears to be to stonewall his detractors and continue to serve on the Court, serving without much distinction, but with considerable power.”

“​The state court ruling sets a historic precedent which other states may follow,” Bennett Gershman, a former New York prosecutor and law professor at Pace University, told Salon. “It is a landmark ruling. I can’t think of an application of this provision in modern times.”

Pace University has announced its introducing a new game development program starting in fall 2024. Students can now graduate with Bachelor's Degree in game development, and will have the opportunity to learn how to create mobile and traditional video games, preparing them for a booming industry. Pace athletics announced E-Sports as its 15th varsity sport back in 2021. The program was recently voted number one in the nation after winning a march madness-styled bracket for college esports programs.

“As of 2020, the game industry is larger than the film and sports industry combined,” said Carmine Guida, professor of computer science and director of the game development program at Pace. “Our new Game Development major is highly project-based, enabling our students to graduate with a diverse portfolio of styles and genres of games. All are welcome to apply. Students who love technology and want to use it for creative pursuits thrive in this new major.”
