Not sure if relevant yet, but maybe. [187?]

Peter Awn, 75, who served as the eighth dean of the Ivy League university’s School of General Studies for 20 years, was hit about 6:30 p.m. Jan. 25 by a Toyota Highlander driven by a 23-year-old man at West 116th Street and Claremont Avenue, police said.

He was rushed to Columbia University Medical Center, where he succumbed to his head injury on Sunday. The investigation into the accident continues.

A former Jesuit priest and scholar of Islamic religion, Awn instituted sweeping changes across General Studies, where he served as dean between 1997 and 2017, capping off a career of more than four decades in higher education.

A man known for his socks, suspenders, and mischievous smile, Awn mentored thousands of students through a crucial juncture of their lives, and, for many, often for years beyond—officiating their weddings, meeting their children, and cheering them on in the New York City Pride parade. [WTF]
