Did a moldy building kill 4 New Orleans college professors?
By: Jed Lipinski, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune
A three-part investigative series exploring the mysterious deaths of four professors at Southern University at New Orleans
Four Southern University at New Orleans professors who died within three months of each other had all worked on the second floor of the Multipurpose Classroom Building. So Cynthia Ramirez found it ironic that SUNO chose to hold a vigil for the dead on the same floor.
Ramirez, a tenured professor of fine arts at SUNO, had her own office in the Multipurpose Building until 2013. That fall, she demanded to be moved, complaining that the building was to blame for her worsening respiratory problems.
