Dr. Charles Oswald is an instructor within the Department of Finance, Banking & Insurance in Walker College. He also plays a role in a book released last fall centered on one of the many subplots of the country's economic troubles.

"Tower of Thieves: Inside AIG's Culture of Corporate Greed," aspires to fulfill the promise of its title. It is described as "a true story of personal greed and downfall, corporate greed fueled with economic and social treachery, shareholder waste and discrimination at AIG, 70 Pine Street in the heart of the financial district." It has since been nominated for a Pulitzer prize.

Oswald, who joined Walker College in 2008, is featured in the book "as "the man you wanted at your right hand" when "running a war room" in respect to the counsel he provided during the dramatic run-up to events of late 2008."
