Take a look at what Richard Whiteside, Tulane's vice president for enrollment Management, had to say about Tulane and the aftermath of katrina:
Quote: | Tulane can present an unprecedented educational opportunity to students. “If you want to study hydrology, restorative work, social work, engineering, reestablishing public health and educational systems, there will by no place like New Orleans over the next decade,” Whiteside said. “We’re going to rebuild a city in very short order. There are few places in the world where someone can watch that as a laboratory unfolding before them.” |

As Mr.Whiteside pointed out, Tulane is in the perfect position to attract more engineers and play a bigger role in the city. This is the place to be for an engineer right now. I don't understand how Cowen and the board can be so blind as to not see this opportunity we have to make Tulane a world class engineering school. _________________ Jason Reasor
