Panel to Discuss Bush Administration
Policies on March 26 and 27
—Discussion Initiates Collaboration Between William Paterson
University and John Jay College of Criminal Justice
Panelists from William Paterson University and John Jay College
of Criminal Justice will debate Bush Administration policies during
a two-day program which marks the beginning of an ongoing collaboration
between the two institutions designed to provide faculty and students
with a unique opportunity to explore issues of global importance.
The collaboration resulted from discussions between William Paterson
Provost and Executive Vice President Chernoh Sesay and John Jay
Provost Basil Wilson.
"The panel discussions are the first events in the collaboration
between William Paterson and John Jay," says Michael Principe,
associate professor of political science, and chairperson of the
committee that is organizing the collaboration at William Paterson.
"In the very near future, we envision that the collaboration
will lead to a series of discussions, conferences, and joint research
projects in politics and economics, as well as in fields such as
genetics, philosophy, communication, and the environment, to name
a few."
The first panel discussion, "The Bush Administration and its
Foreign Policy," will be held at William Paterson on March
26 from 12:30 to 3 p.m. in the Martini Teleconference Center on
the campus in Wayne. The panelists are William Paterson professors
of political science Maya Chadda, Steve Shalom and Martin Weinstein,
who will also moderate. From John Jay, the panelists are George
Andreopoulos, professor of government, Maki Haverfeld, professor
of law and political science, and Itah Sneh, professor of history.
The discussion moves to the John Jay campus in New York City on
March 27 at 6:30 p.m. where the panelists will debate "The
Bush Administration and its Domestic Policy." Participants
from William Paterson include, Principe, Sheila Collins, professor
of political science, and Giuliana Campanelli, associate professor
of economics, finance and global business. Panelists from John Jay
are Avraam Bornstein, professor of anthropology, Barry Latzer, professor
of government, and Andreopoulos, who will also act as moderator.
The collaboration continues with an international conference, "Humanizing
Globalization: The Quest for Sustainable Development, Social Justice
and Good Government," sponsored by both schools, to be held
at William Paterson on October 30-31.
All events are free and open to the public. For additional information,
