Law Professor John K. Eason reports today on TaxProf Blog: Eason on The Impact of Katrina on Tulane Law School:
Overall, the University suffered about $200-$250 million in physical damage and an approximate $150 million operating loss. The physical damage will ultimately be covered by insurance, and some creative financing has spread the operating hit out over several years, leaving the endowment in tact. Needless to say, the University has taken a serious look at its core mission and made some strategic decisions. The law school has fortunately emerged from this strategic restructuring virtually unscathed. The administration has even restored our faculty-wide discretionary book and travel allowance for the Spring semester. Although we like to think that these and similar lagniappes resulted from the law school’s longstanding status as an effective and efficient operating unit within the University’s business model, we certainly didn’t mind loaning Dean Ponoroff to the University President for a few months to help guide these decision. [Emphasis added.]

The devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina may have receded from the national headlines and the public consciousness, but for those affected the story is not yet over.  Tulane University recently released its renewal plan, eliminating several programs and laying off 230 faculty members, 65 of whom are tenured.  Among those let go are several members of the Tulane Law Library.  This week I talk with Lance Query, University Librarian and Interim Director of the Law Library.  I also talk with Ray Lytle, former Head of Public Services at Tulane Law Library.
