<p>Jym626, your statement that “most posters were accurate here in their responses” is not right. The OP posted back in September, and nobody responded by addressing some serious issues that the school is currently confronted with, which prompted my original response in this thread. How about if something along these lines was said by a current Tulane parent, and there are obviously many paying attention here based on the large number of posts in the past day or so: </p>
<p>“You might read about 3 rapes that occurred recently near the vicinity of the library. The school is doing A,B and C to address this. You might also have heard about some recent and serious hazing issues resulting in hospitalizations for burn injuries suffered. The school has done D,E and F to address these, and the investigation continues.” </p>
<p>The OP asked a very fair, valid question and I firmly believe that it deserved at least one thoroughly honest response. IMO the issue of poor taste arises in choosing not to do so. It’s one thing to feel a strong sense of loyalty to a place, and I do respect that, but in order for it to continue to thrive, these issues must be aired out and resolved responsibly. It is not enough to throw out names like Univ of Wis and USC and UT to simply argue that this stuff happens everywhere. This thread is under the Tulane heading and the question pertained to safety at Tulane.</p>
