I found this Interview with Tulane Science and Engineering Dean Altiero. Some snippets:

[on the return of the computer science major] The longer term plan is for a full undergraduate major within five years.

Tulane Civil Engineering grad pilots the final shuttle. Doug Hurley went to Tulane on a NROTC scholarship and eventually became an astronaut, along with his wife.

UPDATE:
Tulane vows to bring on-campus football back. Dickson said he and the university refuses to strap itself with a mountain of debt to build facilities.
