I chose my words carefully in 2013 when I announced my plans to retire as president of Tulane University.
I tried to make sure my colleagues and friends knew I was retiring from the presidency of Tulane, not from work or life! In addition to promoting my new book, The Inevitable City: The Resurgence of New Orleans and the Future of Urban America, I will also continue my efforts to improve K-12 education in New Orleans and my work with Opportunity Youth.more
