Expert Quotes
Recent quotes in the media from faculty
“It can be as superficial as someone who is self-conscious about their appearance and doesn’t like to meet people in a real-life setting. They might be shy, and they try to put out a very attractive picture of themselves. That’s sort of the lowest end of it, and it ranges all the way up to the people who are malicious and cruel and want to see someone hurt.” – Nancy Cheever, associate professor and chair of communications, quoted in “Why Would Someone Create a Fake Online Personality?” (Jan. 18, CBSNews.com) regarding the fake girlfriend controversy involving Notre Dame football star Manti Te’o.
“Tremendous investment would be needed to deliver anything like modern internet connectivity to a broad segment of the population,” – Larry Press, professor of information systems and operations management, quoted in “Cuba Internet: Wired, But Not Connected” (Jan 24, Globalpost.com), and “Cuban Internet Access Crawls Toward 21st Century, But Not There Yet” (Jan 26, International Business Times).

It May Be Time For a Breakup” (Jan. 27, American Statesman)
