Dean James MacLaren leaves Tulane after 28 years
A HUGE loss for Tulane academics and athletics. Dean MacLaren is one of the most approachable, honest, hard-working Tulane leaders I have the pleasure of knowing. He truly cared for all of Tulane University and accomplished much to improve our university. To name a few - our rise in college ratings, expanding the courses and opening the Tulane School of Professional Advancement (University College) to undergrads, creating value added through alumni mentorship/job & internship programs. Plus, he was one of our biggest supporters of athletics.
I hope this was his choice.
I wish Dean MacLaren and his family the best in his new endeavors.
He will be missed...

Coincidence or is it just time? 28 years anywhere is a long time.WaveProf wrote:The best person at TU!

The rumors I hear (FWIW) are that he's just ready to retire. His departure is a HUGE loss but lord knows he's done plenty enough.TUPF wrote:Coincidence or is it just time? 28 years anywhere is a long time.WaveProf wrote:The best person at TU!

Provost at a university in Chicago. (I think Loyola of Chi but I’m not sure)

Re: Dean James MacLaren leaves Tulane after 28 years
see.....success in basketball
kidding.
if it is Loyola, its not a step up in terms of academics, but Chicago is a nice city and certainly a change of pace from NOLA.

Re: Dean James MacLaren leaves Tulane after 28 years

Re: Dean James MacLaren leaves Tulane after 28 years
That's a significant step down. Is he from here.or was he forces out? Those are really the only two options that make sense to me.

In fairness it’s a step down institutionally but a step up position wise. But still....
