Cowan also secretly was interviewed for some North East schools. He was using his 10 minutes of fame from the undefeated S King led football team.
Post-Katrina he gutted things too severely, they were censured for firing faculty and he essentially “merged” the Newcomb women’s college (and its endowment) into Tulane.
Used Katrina as an excuse to enact major changes.

Fat frick Scott Cowen killed the programs after katrina even though engineering alumns made the largest donations by far to the school endowment.
At Tulane, a school with a long history of really bad presidents, Cowan may be the worst. Example - Tulane grad David Filo (BS Eng. '88), a co-founder of Yahoo, gave $30 million to Tulane's Engineering School in 2005. The very next year, Cowan terminated both the ME and EE programs, whaich represent the backbone of any Engineering School in the world. Katrina was an excuse, not a reason.

How much do you think Filo has donated since then?

Incredible, even for Tulane.

Exactly. Cowen made Eamon look like a genius.

He is deplorable and Gibson circle named after him is a disgrace.

Filo is exactly what I was talking about and that was a lot of money back then.

Who would gut engineering when the city and state was about to get more federal funding than ever before to rebuild after Katrina?

Just liberal arts stupidity at its finest
