Constantine "Taki" Papadakis, 63, who oversaw a major expansion of Drexel University in his 13 years as its president, died last night from pulmonary complications, the university announced this morning.
Mr Papadakis, who was in remission from lung cancer, went on medical leave Thursday.
"This is a day of profound mourning for the entire Drexel community of students, faculty, staff and administrators, our alumni worldwide and friends everywhere," said Richard Greenwalt, president of the university's Board of Trustees. "Our deepest condolences go out to the Papadakis family."
