SU NEWS AND EVENTS COVERAGE

USA Today and Politico articles on federal enforcement efforts on health care fraud prosecutions cite statistics from Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) and quotes David Burnham, co-director of TRAC. Also, an Atlanta Journal Constitution story on possible dismissal of court cases against suspected illegal immigrants facing deportation in Georgia, and an Omaha World-Herald article on suspending deportation proceedings against illegal immigrants determined to pose no threat to public safety cited TRAC statistics. Additionally, a Dallas Morning News (subscription required) story on illegal re-entry, and a Charlotte Observer article on criminal law and immigration law also referenced TRAC statistics.

An NPR Talk of the Nation segment discussing the state of al-Qaeda worldwide referenced a New America Foundation study of domestic jihadist terrorist cases, conducted with the Maxwell School.

A Broadway World article on performances of The Tramaine Experience references the Araca Project, a new initiative of the Department of Drama in the College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Araca Group, one of New York City’s leading entertainment production and merchandising companies. The Araca Project gives selected theater artists an opportunity to take on the full artistic and fiscal responsibilities of producing their work off-Broadway.

The “Ted Koppel/Frank Langella – One on One” session taped at Syracuse Stage in 2009 appeared on WNET Sunday evening, as noted in the PBS station’s program guide.

A Sunday Post-Standard article features the Gifford Street Community Press book “Home: Journeys to the Westside” in which SU students edited and compiled writing and poetry by neighborhood residents. Steve Parks, associate professor of writing and rhetoric in The College of Arts and Sciences, is quoted in the article.
