Who is Eamon Kelly?
Eamon Michael Kelly was the president of Tulane University from 1981 to 1998. 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.
Kelly is best known for shutting down the basketball program in 1985 due to a massive point-shaving scandal. He 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.
