The application of game theory and related mathematical approaches to explain decision-making processes of the U.S. Supreme Court is not new. Attempts to quantitatively model decisions of the U.S. Supreme court can be traced back to the mid-twentieth century. A new study by Turner College economist Frank Mixon and his co-authors Rand Ressler of Georgia Southern University and Benno Torgler of Queensland University of Technology extends the constitutional economics literature by focusing on the recent and much discussed U.S. Supreme Court ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade and, therefore, the constitutional right to an abortion. Mixon et al. focus their analysis on Justice Samuel Alito's now-famous 2022 draft opinion on Roe v.

Several cybersecurity Nexus s tudents recently enjoyed a virtual meeting with representatives from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency  (CISA). The group discussed how students in the TSYS School's cybersecurity Nexus program  use CISA's Cyber Career Pathways tool to help prepare our students to enter the cybersecurity industry. The tool can be found on the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Careers and Studies (NICCS) website and provides a useful and interactive model of the NICE  Cybersecurity Workforce Framework. "It's the best thing I've found to teach the NICE Framework. Our students use the tool to learn and understand the roles available 'in cybersecurity' so they can determine what roles suit them best," explained Patrick Aiken , Director of the TSYS Center for Cybersecurity.  The TSYS School's Nexus program is part of CyberSkills2Work , a national coalition of institutions for rapid cybersecurity workforce development.

The finishing touches are being put on renovations of the TSYS  Center for Cybersecurity on the first floor of the Synovus Center . "Recently, we got new glass boards and white boards installed in the new classrooms and offices. We also got some cool new wall decorations with more to come. The Center is getting more functional . . . every day," explained Patrick Aiken , Director of the TSYS Center for Cybersecurity.
