Medical students at Tulane who have been denied their education by that bitch Katrina can take a semester overseas at Tel Aviv University's Sackler School of Medicine in Israel.
Medical students unable to attend the Katrina-ravaged Tulane University in New Orleans can attend Tel Aviv University's Sackler School of Medicine.
In addition, any college student from the Gulf area affected by the storm may apply late for the University's Lowy School for Overseas Students, which is waiving deadlines and some requirements to make room for Katrina's victims.
"In tragedies such as this, you desperately want to help, and these are two things the university can do -- offer academic sanctuary to Tulane medical students and an overseas program to other Gulf-area students whose campuses have been destroyed," said Itamar Rabinovich, president of Tel Aviv University.
The semester in Tel Aviv doesn't start until October, and all courses are conducted in English. Any Tulane students who've ever wanted a study-abroad opportunity are being handed a wonderful gift by this Israeli univerisity. I hope at least a few students take advantage of it.
