Michael Fitts quietly transformed Tulane, New Orleans. Can he pull off this high-stakes project?

Tulane President Mike Fitts justifies expansion into New Orleans neighborhoods. (The “high-stakes project” is the Charity Hospital redevelopment.) 

On the Frostop dorm, the article states: "Recently tensions have flared anew over Tulane’s plan for a private developer to demolish a beloved local diner to build off-campus student apartments." 

You can download the article here: Page 1; Page 2.

Next step for Frostop advocacy—the developer's appeal of the HDLC's demolition denial goes to the City Council. The earliest possible date is the Regular Meeting of Thursday, May 21, 2026. (A June 4 hearing date is more likely.)
