“This is the nightmare scenario that to millions of Americans is unfathomable but realistically possible,” Bennett Gershman, a former New York prosecutor and law professor at Pace University, told Salon. “It is also the scenario that millions of Americans look forward to with glee and the opportunity for retribution against the enemies of Trump.” Ultimately, the Supreme Court will “need to step up and prevent Trump’s plot to abuse his power,” Gershman said. Invoking the insurrection act and the ex-president’s plan to punish critics is “obviously unconstitutional.”

Pace’s School of Education is working with the White Plains School District to help address the teacher shortage.

Pace University political science professor Kerriann Stout said local officials decide what infrastructure is repaired, how much funding is provided to schools, police and DPW's. "If you care about how fast 911 responds or care about where your water comes from or who is picking up your trash," said Stout.

I recently had the incredible pleasure of watching a short film that was produced by a group of students at Pace University through a program called PaceDocs (including my friend Jerry McKinstry, Assistant Vice President of Public Affairs at Pace and, in this case, adult student, who introduced me to the film). The documentary For the Love of Food showcased the slow food movement – farm to table – in France and in Westchester. It makes the case for sustainability, and slow cooking and dining. The experience of watching this film, which showcases the most delectable ingredients and results, was sheer pleasure to the eyes, as well as my palette (well, in my imagination).
