Tulane plays hardball
A long front-page Wall Street Journal article today discusses this place's problems.
Although the school has a decent name (43rd in USNews rankings), recruiting students had become a hard job. They were spending $2,712 per incoming freshman on recruiting brochures and marketing. (Wonder how this compares?)
Tulane is still paying the faculty, refusing to release scholarship athletes, and forcing students to pay fall tuition although no classes are offered.
The administration fears many tuition checks are lost in the flooded mail room. Many students hope that's true.
