Jesuit Solidarity

[C86]

I spoke yesterday with a friend who left New Orleans because of Katrina and is now living in Houston. He told me that the Jesuit high school in Houston, Strake Jesuit, has taken in 400 students from the Jesuit high school in New Orleans. The influx of students is so great that the school is now running two shifts, with the second shift from 3p-9p. No one has been charged a dime.

The President of Strake, Dan Lahart, is a Hoya. This is an outstanding example of Jesuit education and values in action.

Good to hear that. Go Jebbies!

Thanks for the input, c86! GU has taken in DC area Loyola-U of NO students (don't know if it's a no charge situation--I suspect it is). Maybe DFW can give the board input as to what Dallas Jesuit HS is doing also (he was up here for the inaugural MSF game with Brown yesterday...)....

"At Georgetown University Law Center, meanwhile, the staff worked through Labor Day weekend to allow the students to enroll as visiting scholars, tuition-free. "

Good for GU Law, taking in students from Tulane -- free of charge
