Furthermore, allowing Tulane freshmen to apply for the spring admission does not violate any ethical obligations to the Tulane. With 90 percent of Tulane??s class of 2009 already having stated its intention to return to campus, Tulane is not worried about losing a handful of students to Harvard. Tulane is not interested in depriving students of their liberty and forcing them to return to New Orleans. Our applying to Harvard is sanctioned by Cowen, so any arguments opposing the transfer of Tulane freshmen must be rooted in the interests of Harvard and its student body...

...Tulane University and Loyola University New Orleans will remain off-campus until their schools reopen for spring semester.Many of these students have opted to attend other institutions in the interim, including 36 undergraduates who are now enrolled at Harvard.Tulane freshman William Ke, now at Harvard, said that he thought Tulane??s decision to remain closed was the right one. “I don’t think it’s as disruptive as having a condensed fall semester,” Ke said. His main concern, he added, is that Tulane??s winter semester...
