Scott S. Cowen (born 1946 July 27) was 14th president of Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he was also Seymour S. Goodman Memorial Professor in the A.B. Freeman School of Business and professor of economics in Tulane's School of Liberal Arts. He has written more than a hundred peer-reviewed journal articles and five books. His most recent book, The Inevitable City: The Resurgence of New Orleans and the Future of Urban America, was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2014. Cowen is the eponym of Tulane's Cowen Institute for Public Education Initiatives. Cowen served as Tulane’s president from July 1998 through June 2014.
Son of Helen Cowen and Stanley Cowen, Scott Cowen finished his secondary education at Metuchen High School, where he was class president for his first three years and then president of the student council. Upon graduation in 1964 he was cited as "the student who had done the most" for Metuchen High. Cowen was recruited by Lou Holtz to play football for the University of Connecticut, where later-legendary Holtz was briefly serving as an assistant coach. After receiving his bachelor of science degree from UConn in 1968, Cowen entered the United States Army Infantry Officer Candidate School and served for three years as an infantry officer, including a tour in the Middle East. On discharge he enrolled in George Washington University, where he received his master of business administration (MBA) in finance and doctor of business administration (DBA) in finance and management. After a brief stint as an instructor at Bucknell University, he began a 23-year career starting as an assistant professor and finished as dean and Albert J. Weatherhead Professor of Management in the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University.
