We're trying to target students who are eligible here with the new admissions requirements.

Once we did that we gathered whatever transcript that we needed to determine their status and if they were eligible for admission. Financial aid has been working with all these students, too. That's pretty much all they had to do.

Of course that was during the holiday shopping season. That's when the people were in the malls. There's just not enough traffic in the malls now. Staffing is also a concern.

I think that when you look at the master plan for post secondary education and where the state can best use its resources, it's going to achieve that purpose.

It's a pretty substantial number that decided to stay. With registration now going until Thursday (today), we don't know what's going to happen with that.

We were in constant communication with them throughout the semester. We wanted to make it clear that we understood that they were visiting students, and we were here to aid the institutions in New Orleans that were closed.
