The Improbable President

By Vincent O'Leary

From the cover: The turmoil of the Vietnam War era had badly shaken the State University of New York at Albany. But it was doubly taxing for a campus caught up in converting a small teacher's college into a major university center. Worse, budget cuts had lead to the closing of academic departments and the firing of faculty. By 1977, there was serious concern about how this not yet fully formed campus, unsure of where it was going, would cope with these reversals. That would be the challenge facing a new president---the fifth in eight years. His qualifications were unorthodox. Before becoming a faculty member, he was a national authority on community corrections who had once organized and directed the parole supervision agencies of the states of Texas and Washington and served a s Assistant Director of the US Crime Commission.
