UO Offers to Help Students Affected by Katrina
Kudos to the UO administration for offering to help students from the Gulf Coast area. One question, though: what happens to a student from, say, UNO who is unable to return to school for longer than one term?
The university will make every effort to accommodate the students affected by the hurricane and will work with each student individually to address their specific needs, including admission, academic and personal advising, course placement, housing and financial aid,” Moseley said. “We expect that many of these students will want to return to the institutions where they originally enrolled as soon as possible. Those who are able to return to those institutions before the end of the term will receive tuition refunds.
(emphasis added)
Will the administration’s generosity expire if New Orleans takes longer than four months to rebuild? One would hope not.
