In his open letter to the PASSHE community, Greenstein expressed gratitude for his six years in the position, during which he emphasized affordability by freezing tuition and securing significant state funding increases, including a recent 6% rise. His leadership facilitated essential system redesign efforts that improved financial stability and student enrollment. The Board of Governors praised his commitment to higher education and student success, noting that his tenure has left PASSHE in a better position.
