Eamon Kelly (academic administrator)
Eamon Michael Kelly (born April 25, 1936) was the president of Tulane University from 1981 to 1998.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tulane University - Past Presidents )〕 He was born in New York City and earned a bachelor's degree from Fordham University and a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia University.〔http://www.ifesh.org/content.php?info_id=138〕
While earning his Ph.D., Kelly taught undergraduate courses at Fordham and was a major influence on Mario Gabelli, who later became a billionaire fund manager.〔http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2015/10/mib-mario-gabelli-of-gamco/〕
Kelly is best known for shutting down the basketball program in 1985 due to a massive point-shaving scandal. Several players, including future NBA star John "Hot Rod" Williams, had been plied with cocaine in order to induce them to shave points. This revelation, combined with reports of academic irregularities, led Kelly to shutter the program in order to "demonstrate unambiguously this academic community's intolerance of the violations and actions we have uncovered." As it turned out, the outrage was such that several faculty members had demanded that Tulane drop athletics altogether, and were only appeased when Kelly offered to disband the basketball team. Kelly initially didn't intend to ever allow its return, but relented in 1988 after several students convinced him that they were being punished for something that occurred when they weren't at Tulane.〔Vanglider, Perry.
