Tulane's President, Working in a Houston With a Skeletal Staff, Says Reopening by Spring Is Essential - JEFFREY SELINGO, Chronicle of Higher Education
The president of Tulane University said on Tuesday that he had little choice but to get his campus up and running by the spring if it is to survive as a national research institution, and he urged other colleges that are enrolling Tulane students in the wake of Hurricane Katrina not to encourage them to stay permanently.... But Mr. Cowen said he expected that the colleges accepting Tulane students would abide by the guidelines established by the American Council on Education and other higher-education associations on Friday. Those guidelines urge colleges to admit students only on a provisional basis, so that they remain students of their home institutions. The guidelines also suggest that the colleges not charge the students' tuition if they had already paid their home institutions and, if the students had not, to collect tuition and pass it on to the home institutions. Tulane plans to keep tuition revenue that it has already received from its students for the fall. "That allows us to have some source of revenue this fall, while we are closed," he said.
