Response to comments: I knew David Filo of Yahoo gave permission to Cowen to spend the money as he saw fit, but this was pre-Katrina by several years. Also the original contact from Tulane was done by the Electrical Engineering Department. Once the contact was made by the EE Department, much of the money was going to go to the School of Engineering, however Cowen got wind of this and hi-jacked the process and convinced Filo that a broad distribution would better serve the university and the engineering programs. Since that time Cowen has forbid any school of engineering staff from making direct contacts to Filo. I believe Filo can not be happy with seeing his old EE and Computer Engineering Department eliminated, but he is being insulated from the real issues by Cowen. |
