Save Tulane Engineering

Thanks for the update, Clay. We haven't heard much news lately.

A link to an article about Newcomb - http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,187115,00.html

Apparently, Cowen's "strategy" is pretty transparent to people who have nothing to do with Tulane at all. I was at a meeting today with some public southeastern university administrator types - one o ...

Again, Cowen says: The University will sustain propery damages and operating losses in excess of $300 million in this fiscal year alone. Again, I ask, has he opened the books to audit to prove this s ...

That article also emphasized how Loyola declined to make public service mandatory. But, Tulane did. It looks like, well we can expect PS from Loyola, but in order to look "good", Cowen has to requir ...

Here is an article appearing today on cnn online. It is mostly focusing on public service: For engineering students, the mechanics of pumps and levees has never been more important.

Yeah. 1) they didn't start out that size, and 2) bigger is not necessarily better. 900 very good students makes a much better department (and reputation) than one with 900 good students + 400 averag ...

Wow. I really do wish they would admit that the decisions came too fast, and too rashly. But I don't know if we'll ever see that. Alienating so much of the alumni base is going to haunt them for m ...

Again, this backs up the concerns of the AAU, of which tulane is a member. I still have not received any response when I brought the AAU report on Engineering and Tech to Cowen's attention.

None of you will remember your majors 20 years from now? That has to be the stupidest comment I have heard as yet. Well, I graduated just about 21 years ago (gee whiz!), and I use what I learned in ...

When I was a senior in Engineering at Tulane, we had Eamon Kelly. Kelly eliminated the men's basketball team "permanently" after the shoe box full of money, point shaving scandal (see I remember more ...

Is there anyway for someone to post as much as they can about the Q&A meeting today? As an alum, I am sure I am going to get email in the near future about how understanding and willing to sacrif ...

YCorrection: You can get to the alumni page directly from http://www.eng.tulane.edu/ so perhaps the alumni index pages are just out of date. But there are no forums there where I can find out conta ...

I just went to the alumni website, and tried to access the Society of Tulane Engineers. It doesn't work either - is this related? Are they trying to keep the info from getting out to Engineering alum ...

About the bumper sticker idea (which I love), How about
