<p>tabby, good to see all made it safely. You are welcome here in Oregon</p>
<p>Tabby, I’m so glad to hear you are well. Take care and let us know what we can do to help.</p>
<p>the comment earlier referring to the lack of federal response, may have some validity; but to suggest they did nothing I believe is overstating the problem. </p>
<p>The biggest problems are individual and local. CLearly the mayor of NO; had not prepared for the sort of problems </p>
<p>AND
You explain to me how it is the federal government fault that the maggot infested vermin that are SHOOTING AT AID WORKERS AT HOSPITALS !!! are the fault of the federal government.</p>
<p>IT IS THEIR FAULT THAT THEY HAVE NOT ALredayady treated tehm as the terorists they are and brought in significant military assets to ‘neutalize them’ you have a gun pointed at a hosptial — I think that is enough due process for me!!</p>
<p>Tabby, I wish you and your family well! Good to hear that you are okay!</p>
<p>COLLEGES MAKING SPACE</p>
<p>Several Texas universities reported receiving calls from parents and students from the disaster area asking about transfer opportunities. Many schools are still working out details for accepting students. Here are some examples: </p>
<p>The University of Texas at Arlington admissions office is reviewing the requests on a case-by-case basis and will try to enroll as many students as possible. The campus has limited housing, and many classes are filled. </p>
<p>Texas Christian University is offering admission until Tuesday to Dallas-Fort Worth area undergraduates previously admitted to a university severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina. </p>
<p>The University of North Texas posted information on its Web site (<a href=“http://www.unt.edu%5B/url%5D”>www.unt.edu</a>) encouraging community members to support the hurricane relief effort and providing resources for students, faculty and staff with family and friends affected by the hurricane. UNT was scheduled to play Louisiana State this Saturday in Baton Rouge as its season opener. That game has been postponed, but a pep rally will go on and will enable students to contribute to the relief effort. </p>
<p>The University of Texas at Dallas expects to enroll several students from the Dallas area enrolled at colleges affected by the hurricane. UTD is also redirecting Web traffic for Tulane University’s Web site at <a href=“http://www.tulane.edu%5B/url%5D”>www.tulane.edu</a> so visitors can obtain emergency updates. </p>
<p>Both the University of Texas at Tyler and Baylor University in Waco are working out a plan to admit students from colleges in the affected areas. </p>
<p>The University of St. Thomas in Houston said about 10 students from Xavier, Loyola and Tulane universities in New Orleans enrolled Wednesday. </p>
<p>St. Mary’s University in San Antonio is reopening registration exclusively for students from Gulf Coast colleges and universities ravaged by the storm. The special registration period continues through Sept. 8. </p>
<p>Rice University in Houston is accepting students from Tulane who live in the Houston area. </p>
<p>Texas Southern University in Houston will admit any student enrolled at institutions affected by the hurricane for the fall 2005 semester. Application fees will be waived. </p>
<p>Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, will let students from affected schools attend on a visiting basis, with the option to apply for permanent status at the end of the fall semester.</p>
<p>I posted on the other thread about UT Austin. 2 of my S buddies just enrolled there.</p>
<p>Oh Tabby, here’s a big cyberhug for you and your family. What an experience to live through. Please stay in touch and let us know if there is anything we can do…</p>
<p>Add to schools accepting Tulane kids: Columbia, SUNY Binghampton and Hofstra.</p>

<p>Dear Friends of Tulane,</p>
<p>After five days on campus, our emergency team has just arrived in Houston from New Orleans, where we will be joined by the rest of our senior leadership team from locations around the country. We will be working out of Houston effective immediately. Now that we have access to electricity and Internet connectivity, we will be corresponding regularly via this website: <a href=“http://emergency.tulane.edu%5B/url%5D”>http://emergency.tulane.edu</a></p>
<p>Our immediate priorities are:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Attend to the needs of our faculty and staff who remain on campus. They are safe but living conditions are not good. We evacuated the entire uptown campus safely. As of today, only a core team of public safety and facilities personnel remain. We are in the process of evacuating personnel from the Health Sciences Center downtown . Additionally, we are trying to continue to supply provisions to the remaining staff on-site at the Primate Center in Mandeville. All of the students who were evacuated to Jackson State University in Mississippi have returned to their homes or are in the process of returning to their homes.</p></li>
<li><p>Re-establish our communications with constituencies ASAP. In particular, we will be giving guidance within 48 hours about our plans for this semester. I understand everyone’s anxiety but we need additional time to assess the situation in New Orleans. </p></li>
<li><p>Begin the recovery process. The campus did sustain some damage, though it generally fared very well during the storm. There are many downed trees, some buildings sustained water damage, and some roofing tiles were damaged. The necessary repairs are manageable. The dorms are intact and students’ belongings are safe.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I will update you again no later than 11 a.m. CST tomorrow, September 2, 2005. Please disseminate this email as widely as you can through any additional means you may have.</p>

<p>Thanks CC friends! Looks like I will be finding a school outside Louisiana for the fall for my 12 year old and a “temporary” teaching position (subbing, probably) for myself while we wait for the parish schools to recover. They’re saying December. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT AND CYBERHUGS!!! You all have big hearts…and I have every confidence that your kids will do well at whichever college they might spend the fall. (Shout-out to ag54 - we are fine!)</p>
<p>Hey tabbyzmom, if you find yourself in western NC, give me a PM. We’d be glad to help you in any way we can. We have some space and will share anything we have with you and yours.</p>
<p>my neighbor/friends brother is very lucky…we have some really good colleges nearby that allow u to admit late…Hes starting at a great university(NOT tulane but still a very good school) locally and will probably transfer to another school in another state next year he was close to getting into indiana b/c his parents have friends…but i personally would reccomend HOfstra if u live on Long ISland and cannot go to school b/c of Katrina…Hofstra is actually not Community College like at all its really good…and its not commuter…theres actually some really good dorms…</p>
<p>so wat im saying…is if u need a college HOFSTra is opened to people needing a school its in hempstead(i live like 20 minutes away) ny on long island its like under an hour from NYC</p>
<p>Hofstra is a very fine small university in a great location for those who would like to partake in Manhattan “city life”, yet its own setting is that of a lovely virtual garden of a place. Fairly contemporary buildings set off by beautifully done landscape and plantings. It ranks in the top 100 in several fields. It was a “safety” school for S and, in true cc form, it was one he would have been very happy to attend.</p>
<p>We just heard about my D’s friend from Tulane. She is one of those in Jackson. They now know that there will be no school this semester. Once she is evacuated, she will make alternate arrangements. Relief. I can’t imagine how the evacuees that don’t know where their family members feel. It was pretty stressful for us not knowing anything.</p>
<p>With students waiting to enroll today, it seems as though Oklahoma City University is becoming a “second home” for some our new friends from Tulane. We’re happy to extend free tuition for the fall semester. Let us know if we can assist in this time of need.</p>

<p>I’m seriously concerned about the future of Tulane. I think it might be a stretch to actually think NO will be open for business in January and that thousands of faculty, staff and students will return. Many students will make alternate plans and with no marketing for fall admissions where will Tulane be in August '06? There are ongoing personnel expenses with no tuition money - Tulane could burn through it’s endowment in a short period of time. I’m afraid Tulane may not be anymore.</p>
<p>ricz - please don’t speculate. What is your source of information. For example, did you know that Tulane’s Office of Admissions has already relocated so that it can continue its work? Why would you state that there will be "no marketing for fall admissions? Tulane still has its tuition money- the flood of colleges and universities which have offered visting status to Tulane students have ensure that Tulane will keep its tuition money by requiring that visiting students have either already paid Tulane, or the visiting school will collect tuition and escrow it for Tulane (there may be a few exceptions, but this is the general plan AND the plan recommended by AAU). Etc, etc.</p>
<p>It is irresponsible, I am afraid, to post your type of remarks without having the facts and without thinking of the negative impact posts like yours can have.</p>
