<p>I didn't read all the way through but I know Boston University is accepting Tulane students...I don't know how many though.</p>
<p>To All of the Tulane Students.
My prayers are with all of you. I know that now is a very difficult time of readjustments and new ventures. You have to be strong even though the future is unknown and the news makes all look bleek. In time New Orleans will be rebuilt and the "Big Easy" will be up and running again. I am sure that all of you will get your Tulane degree and will have many stories to tell for generations to follow. Thank God you are all safe and out of harms way. I would take advantage of all that neighboring schools have to offer. They are reaching out with open arms to make this time of trouble be a little easier on all of you. Also by keeping busy with school makes the time go a little quicker without dwelling on the everyday anquish that the news portrays. Tulane is doing everything in its power to be up and running as quickly as feasibly possible. I wish you all the best and will keep all of you in my prayers.

<p>U. to accept roughly 100 students displaced by Katrina for fall semester
By Eric Beck </p>
<p>The University will assist students displaced from colleges and universities shuttered by Hurricane Katrina by offering tuition-free admission for a semester, President Ruth Simmons announced in a campus-wide e-mail Friday.</p>
<p>University officials declined to comment Friday on how many students could be accommodated, but Dean of Admission James Miller '73 told The Herald Monday that the "working total" is approximately 100 undergraduates.</p>
<p>Response to the University's offer has been steady over the weekend, Miller said, estimating that more than 50 displaced undergraduates have contacted the Admission Office.</p>
<p>Students in good academic standing at schools where the hurricane suspended classes for the fall semester are eligible to attend Brown this semester if they reside in Rhode Island, are the sibling of a Brown student or attend Xavier University of Louisiana, Dillard University or Tulane University.</p>
<p>Dillard is Simmons' undergraduate alma mater.</p>
<p>Brown will accept students displaced by the hurricane on a space-available basis. Temporary students will select from courses with space open after permanent Brown students have registered, said Mark Nickel, director of the Brown News Service.</p>
<p>The fall semester has been canceled at Tulane and Loyola universities, and about 30 schools are severely damaged, leaving nearly 100,000 students scrambling to find space elsewhere, according to the Association of American Universities.</p>
<p>"The idea is to provide as much as we can for as many students as we can," Nickel said.</p>
<p>The Rhode Island Independent Higher Education Association is coordinating assistance for Rhode Island residents. Eligible students should contact RIIHEA, Nickel said, and the organization will match them to the most appropriate participating school based on their academic needs.</p>
<p>RIIHEA members include Brown, the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence College, the New England Institute of Technology and Johnson and Wales, Bryant, Roger Williams and Salve Regina universities.</p>
<p>Independently of RIIHEA, the University is offering temporary admission to siblings of Brown students and students attending Xavier, Dillard or Tulane. The Admission Office will handle requests from these students.</p>
<p>Xavier and Dillard, both historically black universities, are in the Leadership Alliance, a 31-member consortium of academic institutions dedicated to increasing minority participation in higher education. Brown is a founding member of the organization.</p>
<p>Tulane is not in the consortium, but the assistance program was extended to its students because of its membership in the Association of American Universities, said Valerie Petit Wilson, associate dean of the Graduate School at Brown and director of the Leadership Alliance. The AAU comprises 62 top research universities in the United States and Canada.</p>
<p>Housing is not guaranteed as part of the temporary admission program, but Nickel said the University and RIIHEA will work with community members to find space for displaced students. A form on the Brown Web site allows area residents to offer spare bedrooms to temporary students.</p>
<p>The Graduate School will also assist students whose studies have been interrupted for the semester, Simmons said in her campus-wide e-mail.</p>
<p>A statement on the Graduate School's Web site reads, "We encourage departments to think of this as a chance to 'adopt' students for the semester and integrate them as fully as possible into their programs, not merely provide them with classes or laboratory space."</p>
<p>The Medical School is unable to make a general offer of assistance to displaced medical students because of capacity limitations, but the University is attempting to assist medical students from the hurricane-affected region on a case-by-case basis, said Associate Dean of Medical Education Philip Gruppuso.</p>
<p>Gruppuso said two recent Brown graduates who planned to start medical school this fall at Tulane contacted the University for assistance. Space was not available to accept them into the incoming Medical School class, but Kathleen Baer, director of admission and financial aid for the Medical School, tried to find space for the students at Dartmouth's medical school, he added.</p>
<p>"We were confronted with a difficult logistical situation," Gruppuso said.</p>
<p>The Medical School always strives to operate at capacity - leaving little extra space for last-minute additions - but Brown may have space in clinical rotations for third and fourth year medical students, he said.</p>
<p>Grupposo said Tulane anticipates finding space for all medical students at other institutions, relying heavily on temporarily relocating students to the University of Texas and Baylor University.</p>
<p>Faculty whose research has been interrupted because of the hurricane might also find a temporary home at Brown.</p>
<p>Vice President for Research Andries van Dam, who has been charged by Simmons to assist displaced professors by bringing them to Brown as visiting faculty, told the faculty in an e-mail that the visiting professors will likely receive their salaries from their home institution, but Brown would provide them with limited travel funds, office and research facilities on campus and library privileges.</p>
<p>Wilson called Brown's response to Katrina "a wonderful gesture - more than a gesture," adding that "a natural disaster should not be a career disaster."</p>
<p>"It's pretty extraordinary that the University is offering this kind of outreach for students in the area," Miller said. </p>
<hr>
<p>Clark University is accepting students as well. :)</p>
<p>I just got an email saying Wake Forest has accepted 15 students, 11 of which are freshman, from Tulane and the U. of NO. :)</p>
<p>Since it has been one-week, I am hoping that New Orleans area HBCU students (Dillard, Xavier, Southern U-NO) have taken advantage of the various enrollment offers. For example, If you know a displaced Xavier student from the Puget Sound region, refer them to the Jesuit school Seattle University. I understand that it is enrolling Loyola and Xavier students for free.</p>
<p>Here's an e-mail I received from the Dean of the College at Wake Forest:</p>
<p>Dear Wake Forest Faculty and Students:</p>
<p>Today, we will enroll, for the fall semester, 15 undergraduate students (11 freshmen) whose education was interrupted in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans. Please accept my personal thanks for your kindness toward these students. I know that your helpfulness and compassion will be evident as you welcome these students from Tulane University and the University of New Orleans into your classes and residence halls. I am grateful that you are giving life to our motto, Pro Humanitate.</p>
<p>Best wishes,
Debbie Best</p>
<p>Haha, Juba beat me to the punch.</p>
<p>CSUMB (California State University Monterey Bay) will be taking in students. Check out csumb.edu for more information.</p>
<p>Here at Bucknell we've already got kids from tulane, 15 I think, maybe more. It's so nice to see everyone stepping up.</p>
<p>Just got an email from Brown:</p>
<p>They are taking RI residents; siblings of Brown students; Tulane, Xavier & Dillard Students; and also grad students (& even faculty) on a space available basis.</p>
<p>Students will have one semester Tuition free. </p>
<p>I may have misunderstood but it seemed that ANY Tulane, Xavier, or Dillard student (whether RI, sibling, or not) can apply.</p>
<p>Sidney Frank, the guardian angel of Brown, gave $5 million to fund Brown's response to the Hurricane.</p>
<p>Yes, I was down there this morning, anyone can apply, but RI residents and siblings get first priority. As of this morning, they had room for 100 students and 50 had taken up the offer. I think I'm getting an apartment at University Apartments down the block from Prospect St. because they are not offering housing.</p>
<p>Is Sidney Frank the same guy that donated like $120 million last year to Brown? Where does this man get his money?</p>
<p>Yep. Grey Goose vodka and other boozes.</p>
<p>St John's University in Queens, NY is offering tuition free for this semester. Possible deadline is Friday. You should call first. Also, has anyone heard of the Red Cross giving displaced students $1500. for clothes, books, etc</p>
<p>Here's what VU is doing:</p>
<p>The Villanova Community--
The devastation in the Gulf has been on all of our minds and in our hearts. The Villanova communitys response to Fr. Dobbins email asking for suggestions on how we might respond has been insightful.</p>
<p>It is clear that our response needs to be varied, addressing both immediate and long term needs. Based on the input many of you offered, our response will include four broad initiatives:</p>
<p>Our first response, now virtually completed, has been to accept a number of students from schools in the affected area who will be joining us on Tuesday, September 7.<br>
Villanova is setting up a Villanova Hurricane Relief Fund, which will raise money in a variety of ways from faculty, students, staff, and alumni. The fund raising will begin officially this coming Thursday, St. Thomas of Villanova Day. Over the next several months many initiatives will occur to raise money for the victims. The money will be channeled in two ways: a) to major disaster relief agencies, such as Catholic Charities in the region, and b) to specific needs that exist in the regions recovery, such as those in schools or shelters, that have a connection to Villanova University.<br>
Instead of the usual St. Thomas of Villanova Day Banquet, we will have a more informal Picnic which will inaugurate the Villanova Hurricane Relief Fund. Money we will save, along with donations made that day by faculty, students, and staff, will be the first donations to the relief fund.
Service opportunities will be developed with Campus Ministry to provide assistance to those in need. We will be exploring options for Fall Break, Winter Break and Spring Break service trips.<br>
And, of course, we can all offer our prayers and good wishes. In addition, special Masses will be planned on campus to remember the victims, both living and deceased. Other efforts, such as clothing drives, may also occur in the future as we learn more about the needs and how they can best be met by us.</p>
<p>Please continue to let me know which efforts you are interested in helping with or contributing to.</p>
<p>maybe this has already been said but duke is accepting stranded students</p>

In particular, we have been working very hard with Amherst to identify a distinct program at one of the affected historically black universities that could be moved to our two campuses for the fall. The logistical challenges in New Orleans to bringing this about are considerable but the project deserves our best effort. We hope to be able to report more soon

<p>Sounds like a great idea - hopefully it will come to fruition.</p>
