Reuters 04-13-2026
David Gibson, the director of the Center on Religion and Culture at Fordham University, a Catholic school, said it was difficult to understand Trump’s motive in attacking Leo and for posting the image, but that it was also hard to say if American Catholics would turn against him. “Will this move cross a red line for them?

Inside Higher Ed 04-20-2026
Debra McPhee, dean of the Graduate School of Social Service at Fordham, said the program usually offers a summer start for its online students, but this year administrators decided to promote it as an opportunity to avoid changes to federal loans, extending it to the in-person cohort. “It has the advantage of getting them eligible for Grad PLUS, but it’s also a pilot for us; lots of people talk about doing year-round … graduate programs” because many graduate students are adults who do not opt to go home for the summer, she said. “The timing is good—if we’re ever going to pilot it, pilot it this year.”

Expert analysis on Zohran Mamdani’s first 100 days as NYC mayor
CBS News 04-16-2026
“What he’s doing is actually governance — this low-hanging fruit that so many New Yorkers and Americans are yearning for. What are my tax dollars actually doing? What are these politicians, who should be public servants — what are they doing for me? I think what helps New Yorkers right now is that the mayor is young and energetic. I pray that he does not burn out, but there is something about seeing someone who has the energy to literally walk through the streets of New York, to see with his own eyes what could be improved upon,” said Christina Greer, associate professor of political science at Fordham University.
