Michigan Technological University is also going to accept students  
displaced by university closures.  The details of tuition and how  
many students seem to be unresolved, but I expect will reflect what  
Columbia and others are attempting to do-- at no or very low cost.   
The administration's offer was first targeted to undergraduate  
students in science and technology, but as the scale of the tragedy  
became apparent I think they extended it across all subjects and  
levels.  Very brief details are at: http://www.mtu.edu

We have not had a moment to discuss this among the industrial  
archaeology faculty at MTU, but displaced graduate students should  
contact Pat Martin at [log in to unmask] if they feel that MTU's IA  
program might keep them on track for their degree.  Given all the  
offers of help, I hope everyone will settle into a place.

Best,
Tim Scarlett
