Baruch in the Media
Baruch faculty and staff continue to be a strong
presence in the media. This week, Ned Regan,
president of the College, and Burton Rothberg,
assistant professor of accounting at Baruch's Zicklin School
of Business, co-authored an opinion-editorial in the December
17 issue of The Wall Street Journal, entitled "A
Seat at the Corporate Governance Table," focusing
on the changes in corporate governance likely to result from
new disclosure policies for the massive proxy votes controlled
by America's mutual funds (the funds, Regan and Rothberg report,
hold more than 15 percent of U.S. stocks). Meanwhile, in one
of the unusual studies that have made him famous, professor
emeritus and former business school dean John Trinkaus
has observed that more than 95 percent of children were "visibly
indifferent or hesistant" when approaching a department-store
Santa Claus, according to an article in
The New York Sun. Only one percent of children appeared
to be happy during their Santa session, while another one
percent were visibly stricken with terror at the sight of
Jolly Saint Nick. The parents however appeared overwhelming
delighted. See the Baruch in the Media
