One of the programs that actually benefitted from Tulane's "Bold Renewal" was the Green Wave baseball program. Last month, Tulane announced that it will invest $7.5 million to expand Turchin Stadium where its baseball team plays. The new, enlarged stadium will include four private, air-conditioned suites accessible by elevator and furnished with rest rooms. According to Scott Cowen, "In the aftermath of Katrina, Tulane student-athletes came to symbolize the character and determination of Tulane University and the people of New Orleans to not only recover but to thrive."
Cowen may feel he has hit a home run with the expansion of Turchin Stadium, but the loss of the academic programs and faculty who were struck out by his foul balls suggests that he should be retired from the mound.
