<p>Duke is trying to allow displaced students (12 at Duke) to transfer for the spring, thus altering its transfer policy slightly. Are any other colleges doing this?

<p>Duke Student Government proposes that the University accept displaced students as spring transfers. Whether the University will consider this is another matter entirely:</p>
<p>"The next step is to present the proposal to members of the administration, who seemed resistant to the change earlier this week, said Senator George Fleming, a junior. He sat down with Provost Peter Lange and Robert Thompson, dean of the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, earlier this week.</p>
<p>Accepting transfers would deprive New Orleans institutions of both students and tuition dollars, some administrators told Fleming. In addition, they thought it would be unfair to make an exception for one group of transfer students, Fleming said."</p>
<p>True, I realized that shortly after I posted. I should have said “Duke SG is trying…” 
Anyway, I’m still wondering how other universities are handling this.</p>
<p>My d’s University is allowing them to stay.</p>
