[10] As professor and chair of the Department of Criminal Justice and longtime director of the Homeland Security and Terrorism Institute, Kushner has always been an innovator in curricula development for his students.

Decades ago, before other institutions of higher learning thought it important, he brought in two agents of what may be the most hated form of law enforcement, the Internal Revenue Service, to teach a course on financial investigations.

[14] In addition to his innovative course development and his desire to meet technological progress head on, Kushner has always organized numerous symposia on national security and criminal justice topics to both educate and train the academic and professional communities alike.

[16][17] Prior to the September 11 attacks and continuing until today, Kushner advised, educated, and trained police personnel throughout the State of New York.

[18][19][20] Kushner currently serves as the Education Advisor for the Nassau County Municipal Police Chiefs Association, a post he has held since 1991.

[33][62][63][64][65] From exposing terrorists on the FOX News Channel’s The O’Reilly Factor[66] to explaining the meaning of high alert on the Oprah Winfrey Show to discussing airport security on CNN’s Larry King Live,[67][68] Kushner has appeared on all the major cable and television networks.

[69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76] Kushner has also worked as a guest host and contributor for the FOX News Channel’s millennium coverage in 2000 and MSNBC’s New Year’s Eve 2001 celebrations in Times Square, NY.

For many years, the Dr. Harvey Kushner Show was a fixture on WGBB 1240 AM, Long Island’s first radio station and one of the oldest in the country.

For example, MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann criticized Kushner for his column in Human Events on CNN’s Jack Cafferty’s remarks on Senator John McCain’s condemnation of Russia’s invasion of Georgia in 2008.

On August 19, 2008, Olbermann awarded Kushner the dubious distinction of being his “Worst Person in the World,” a highly controversial segment of his nightly show that supposedly identified evil.
