Recent quotes and/or interviews in the media from faculty

“Banks and credit unions can make money off the security deposits from secured credit cards, but the amount that they raise from security deposits is very low, to begin with. Since many secured credit cards also offer other benefits (such as points) to credit card holders, the cost of such benefits may offset any interest the issuing cardholder may earn.” – Prakash Dheeriya, professor of finance, was a featured expert in a WalletHub piece about secure credit cards.

Chris Hallenbrook

“Traditionally, anything local is a lower-turnout election, fewer people are paying attention, and so it’s really going to depend a lot of ways in who shows up,” he said. “It’s easier for the turnout to be skewed, to not be representative of the county.” – Assistant Professor of Political Science Chris Hallenbrook was quoted in the Los Angeles Times about the race for L.A. County Sheriff in the Primary Election.

“I recommend students use a summer job to try a job before they buy it. This means you should look for a job that will help you learn about a new career or new industry while getting a sense of what you like and dislike about both. A summer job is a short-term commitment that will help you make a better choice for your first job post-graduation.” – Thomas Norman, professor of management and marketing, provided WalletHub his expert advice on the best places for summer jobs.

Larry-Rosen

“[Teenagers are] afraid if they’re not hooked up all the time, they’re going to miss out on something important. Even just watching those little bubbles go on the iPhone, back and forth. Waiting for someone to respond can create a lot of anxiety.” – Larry Rosen, professor emeritus of psychology, appeared on KSL-TV news to discuss teenagers’ use of cell phones.
