Faculty and administrators at NSU regularly are sought by national media for comment on the issues of the day. Here's a sample.

Said Frank Orlando, a retired Broward juvenile judge who now heads the Center for the Study of Youth Policy at Nova Southeastern University's law school: "This isn't the last time this is going to happen. There are a number of states that have so advanced the issue of how you deal with these kids that it makes Florida look silly." - McClatchy Newspapers, January 20, 2008.

“But mental health problems can be severe in the heat of financial competition. Drugs and alcohol are commonplace on Wall Street. A 2001 study of brokers by Florida's Nova Southeastern University found that 23% were clinically depressed, compared with 7% overall among American men.” - The Guardian (UK), January 5, 2008.

“Michael Simonson, a professor in instructional technology and distance education at Nova Southeastern University, agrees. The main point to remember about visual learning, Simonson maintains, is that it can affect the substance of education. ‘The curriculum is the key--not the media,’ he says. ‘We've fallen into this trap of considering that the use of technology is going to be an automatic silver bullet that's going to make kids learn more, be more motivated. But we forget that it's not the technology, not the media. It's the content, and it's the way those media are used. In other words, it's the pedagogy, it's the message, it's the design--it's the approach--that is the critical element." - eSchool News, January 2, 2008.

“Parenting and family life expert Dr. Meline Kevorkian at Nova Southeastern University says the Graulich family has fallen into a familiar trap. Meline has developed a simple four step plan to help families like the Graulichs regain their sanity.” - NBC News Today, January 1, 2008.

“Nova Southeastern University law professor Robert Jarvis, who teaches classes in constitutional and ethics issues, echoed Rodriguez-Taseff's position that the Florida Bar has a right to limit First Amendment rights as a condition of a law license. Jarvis said attorneys can talk about the qualifications of the judiciary but shouldn't resort to name-calling.” - Law.com, December 5, 2007.

“Blogging may make it harder for less-elite law reviews to compete, according to two law professors at Nova Southeastern University. That was one of several changes Robert Jarvis and Phyllis Coleman saw in an update to their 1997 study ranking student-edited law reviews based on the prominence of their lead-article authors.” - National Jurist, November 1, 2007.
