Tom Gerety, a lawyer, philosopher, and self-proclaimed "60s radical", is the former president of both Trinity College (Connecticut) (1989-1994) and Amherst College (1994–2003). After leaving Amherst College, he became the executive director of the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law.[1] His early departure from the presidency of Trinity College was the subject of a critical Harvard Business School case about board governance.[2]While he was President at Trinity he also presided the tenure and reappointment committee whose actions resulted in two lawsuits, one of which resulted in the largest tenure case award against a college up to that time, 12.7 million dollars [3]
