<p>I applaud Tulane for giving it's blessing to the student's to pursue a fall semester at a "foster school" while there is still time to make arrangements. These kids can now take classes free from any moral or ethical question of whether or not they are being disloyal to Tulane. Hopefully, these kids can settle in at the foster schools, take some classes, meet new people and just enjoy being college kids for a few months. Maybe they could think of it as a study abroad without needing a passport.:) </p>
<p>Now is not the time to make any major decisions. Emotions are still too raw and the recovery plan has not yet been formed. We can speculate all we want, but nobody knows what the future is. The families affected have enough on their plates right now, let's not add to it. When Tulane announces a reopen date, then each family can evaluate their student's needs and make a decision. One decision will not fit all and I think we need to be respectful of each other's opinions. There will be no right or wrong.</p>
<p>Good luck to the students of the Gulf Coast. I hope you all have a wonderful semester at your foster school.</p>
