but when an institution attracts not just for its academia, bu also its environment and ambiance as a significant part of its offer, it begs the question why Tulane is asking its students to pay tulane tuition while attending other (possibly inferior) schools. Since I've been at Tulane, their slogan has been: "Only in New Orleans, only at Tulane." Obviously that isn't true anymore.
I totally agree with Chief here. The New Orleans community will be needing all the help they can get when it comes to tackling the great engineering problem that is New Orleans. It makes no sense that they should cut the engineering department when a majority of the other departments, lets say the French, or mythology department doesnt get cut. This is bullshit. So of course Tulane takes the easy way out and axes the program while emphasizing its liberal arts (read drop out alcoholics here) program. And in classic new orleans fashion, Tulane is rebuilding itself not as a new bastion of intellectual research but as the party school it has been trying to shake image of for 15 years...
I will be returning to Tulane to get my Biomedical eng. bachelors and masters degree , hopefully by next december. However, I just heard word, that Tulane is laying off 250 faculty members to deal with their project $200 million dollar recovery expenses. That must be why I haven't seen spring course offerings from some of my known professors.
I also wonder, how they can get rid of engineering, especially because we bring in a lot of research and get funded through other means such as the NIH, etc.
So frustrated
Civ III the board game is one of the best board games I have played. It is very true to the video game with technology being nearly the same, but also giving bonuses in combat. The only major differences between the video game and board game are the combat rules. The game is amazing with 6 players but can take up around 9 hours to finish the game with that many people. I would definately recommend it for families and friendly matches.
