Last semester, Baruch College President Emeritus and University Professor Mitchel B. Wallerstein (left) released the book Public Higher Education That Works: One College’s Path to Academic Success and Financial Stability. In the book, Wallerstein reflects on his 10 years as president of Baruch, examining how and why the College became a “positive outlier” in the world of higher education, succeeding academically and financially when many other public universities have struggled with financial constraints, severe space limitations, and other common difficulties.
At a book launch reception shortly after its release, Wallerstein chatted about his research with University Professor Scott Evenbeck (right) of the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs.
