Professor E. Bruce Nauman Passes Away
This past Sunday, Professor E. Bruce Nauman passed away at the age of 71. He had recently been diagnosed with lung cancer. Known on campus for his criticism of the current administration (and especially Dr. Jackson), he was well known in the chemical engineering field too, having authored five books and over 150 research papers. In addition, Nauman was the owner of six patents.
Before the Faculty Senate was dissolved in 2007 by the administration, Nauman had spearheaded the body’s “no confidence” vote of Dr. Jackson in 2006 which narrowly failed.
His passion and dedication to the ‘Tute will surely be missed. Our deepest sympathies and thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.
There will be a memorial service tomorrow, Friday May 29th, at 11 AM at the Chapel and Cultural Center (C + CC).
The Times Union has more, and Dr. Jackson’s email to the community is after the jump.
