<p>According to the LA Times, Cal States and UCs have opened their doors to huricane displaced college students and are NOT going to charge them out of state tuition. There is room for several hundred students, mostly in the Cal State system but some in the UCs as well. Plus the UCs have agreed to make room for about 20 law students in their various law schools.</p>
<p>Already posted, but my law school is taking on displaced law students as “visiting students” this semester.</p>
<p>Kudos to your school Aries. I know it makes you proud when your “institution” demonstrates a heart</p>
<p>UCLA will also be accepting law students.</p>
<p>fordham law school accepted over 20 tulane students, as well as some loyola students. They are giving the tuition to tulane, as well as helping out with housing.</p>
<p>stanford law school was also accepting students</p>
<p>Email to my UCSD account:</p>

<p>San Diego State is not only taking students, but has apparently been finding room for them in the dorms.</p>
<p>ConcernedDad: Someone said yesterday that she’s afraid the Tulane/Loyola students will like it so much that they’ll want to stay.
I know that people have already gone out to buy bed linens and clothes for them. But yes, it does make me proud - and it reminds me why I came here.</p>
<p>I received an email from Stanford Law School that they and others are also accepting Tulane law students. The dean of the Tulane Law School was a Stanford Law classmate of mine–wonderful person too by the way. </p>

<p>To all members of the Stanford Law community: </p>
<p>We have all watched with horror the devastation that Hurricane Katrina has caused on the Gulf Coast, and particularly in New Orleans. The families of several members of our own community have suffered grievous losses. A variety of plans for support and relief are being developed by the University. I am writing to let you know what the Law School in particular is doing to help. </p>
<p>In common with a good number of other law schools, we will open our doors to members of the two law schools in New Orleans whose ability to operate has been destroyed – Tulane and Loyola. We expect a number of students from these schools to enroll as visiting students for the fall term (and if necessary, the rest of the year). We are giving preference to third year students and to students from the Bay Area. The law school will waive tuition, enabling the students’ home schools to keep tuition already paid as a buffer to help pay staff and faculty during the difficult months ahead. Deans Glaze and Deal are taking steps to make the transition of these students as smooth as possible. I am particularly grateful for their willingness to shoulder this responsibility and equally grateful to all those of you whose help they may seek. </p>
<p>I know that the victims of these terrible events are in the thoughts and prayers of many members of the community. </p>

<p>Aries: Your campus is beautiful. I could imagine many heads being turned by it.</p>
<p>Actually, I think it’s because the Tulane-ers will come to find that we out-do them on their own motto: “First we out-think you; then we out-drink you.”*
</p>
<p>…it’s our friendly, collegial, fun-loving, and oh-so-civilized atmosphere that does it.
Law school has gotten more fun since back in the day…</p>
<p>*If it doesn’t sound familiar, it should. :p</p>
