Greg Maney, PhD, professor of sociology and the Center for Civic Engagement’s co-director for active citizenship, was featured in Newsday and on News 12 Long Island regarding a dispute over the renaming of part of a local town.

Professor Maney, along with CCE student fellows and community partner Greater Uniondale Area Action Coalition, helped coordinate a town-hall demonstration protesting the designation of a part of Uniondale as “East Garden City,” a move residents say will lead to higher taxes, increased competition, and discrimination.
