Weitekamp (Decem– February 5, 2022) passed on February 5, 2022, at the age of sixty-seven. There you can find links to videos featuring Ed, as well as his obituary and details about his March 12 memorial service. We will use that space to carry forward Ed’s great legacy … to stand on his shoulders.Ī memoriam page has been setup at the following location. But it was the right call, and Ed knew it. In fact, it caused a minor dust-up with the Dean before it was approved. This was a fitting tribute because it was only due to his salesmanship that the room was even included in the building’s renovation plans. Ed was a high-level scholar who saw the value of translational work long before it was trendy.ĭuring the fall of 2021, the University named the School of Criminal Justice conference room in his honor. At the time of this writing, his Google Scholar page shows more than 12,000 citations, with a sustained rate of ~900 citations per year for nearly a decade. Of course, none of this would have been possible had his academic work been shoddy. Under Ed’s leadership, the School of Criminal Justice received over 300 funded grants totaling more than $60 million in external funds. He embraced innovations and was not afraid to take risks. He used his skills to generate resources that supported faculty to pursue their own research agendas. Since its inception, our doctoral program has sent nearly 200 scholars into academia, the field, and the community.Įd was also a serial entrepreneur. Flanked by his long-time colleagues, Francis Cullen and Lawrence Travis, Ed helped build a program that filled an important gap and has grown into a powerhouse. His straightforward communication style and ability to speak truth to power allowed him to develop an outsized presence in the University as well as the field more broadly.Īmong his accomplishments was the development of our Ph.D.
Blessed with tremendous administrative skills and a keen understanding of human motivation, Ed could get things done with an elite level of efficiency.
The School mourns his loss, along with his family and his legion of former students, partners, and friends he leaves behind.Įd was school head for nearly 40 years. Ed’s passing was peaceful, marking the end to a long battle with cancer. Latessa, the long-time leader of the University of Cincinnati School of Criminal Justice, passed away on January 11, 2022.
