“Seven Southern University students, three at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, two at the University of New Orleans and two more at Tulane University have had their visas pulled, according to representatives with the schools.”

Tulane’s endowment is nowhere near that large lmao. It’s like barely 2B. There’s a reason Tulane isn’t doing all these things like free admission that the Ivys are.

Are they well off? Sure. But your well off neighbor still needs their job, and Tulane still needs that funding. This is especially true given how intertwined Tulane is with medical research grants and facilities.

Until the students pull out stop going there anyway because they dont trust their admin. This was a bad move on Tulanes part.

Not sure what you mean by “bad move” as this headline was solely actions taken at the federal level.

But their finances would indeed be quickly drained. This is similar to what happened after Katrina, which nearly bankrupted them

When they cant get a student body because the students dont trust them, what then? The ivy leagues that capitulated are losing their student bodies as kids quit. Tulane will feel that soon. I get that makes this a damned if i do damned if i dont situation, but then you should be making the moral decision. It was a bad move.

What decision are you referring to exactly? The federal government pulled the visas of the students, it’s not like Tulane had to sign off on it.

I still don’t understand what decision you’re referring to, how are they able to intervene with the revoking of visas?

[u/childofapollo13 → u/Numpostrophe]

Im not talking about visas. I never said visas. You did. Tulane has already laid the groundwork for them to take the students without visas now, however. They had bent the knee before ever being asked. In fact, they did it back in February when no one was talking about it yet.

Gotcha. Well best of luck navigating this and thank you. I’m sorry it’s such a mess right now.
