The board of trustees has appointed Scott Cowen, a former dean and faculty member at the university, to take on that role starting Oct. 1.

“Scott’s extensive knowledge of our campus and extraordinary experiences as president of Tulane University make him uniquely well-prepared to lead Case Western Reserve at this critical time,” board chair Fred DiSanto said in a post on the university’s The Daily website. “We are grateful to him for assuming this interim role while we continue the search for the university’s next president.”

Cowen served as Tulane’s leader for 16 years, starting in 1998. Prior to that, he worked at Case Western Reserve’s Weatherhead School of Management for 23 years, including 14 as its dean.

Lewis to donate nearly $37 million for the Frank Gehry-designed building that became the school’s new home,” the post said.
