June 30th marks the close of an era at Rutgers University, as President Dr. Robert Barchi officially retires after 8 years on the banks. While Barchi accomplished many great things during his lengthy career in higher education, he leaves a mixed legacy at Rutgers.
To be fair, being the President at Rutgers is probably one of the hardest jobs at any University around the globe. Barchi shined in ways that have set up the institution dear to our hearts very well in multiple areas in the years to come. Of course, from an athletics perspective, it’s fair for Rutgers fans to cheer his departure.
