Rudolph ‘Rudy’ Lamone, U. Md. business school dean, dies at 91

Rudolph P. “Rudy” Lamone, a professor at the University of Maryland who served as dean of its business school for nearly two decades and helped create a center for entrepreneurship at the school, died Jan. 30 at a hospital in Annapolis. He was 91 and lived in Annapolis. The cause was complications from covid, said his wife, Linda. “When Rudy came to Maryland, it was a mediocre business school that was overwhelmed with students, had limited resources and was far from the business school we wanted it to be,” said William E. “Brit” Kirwin, former president of the University of Maryland.
