Rice did well with Rita
Rice was the safest place to be during Hurricane Rita — not just because of its buildings and location, but also because of the dedication of the Crisis Management Team, college masters, students, staff and others. We thank everyone who pitched in to help us prepare for the worst, even though the worst didn’t happen. (See story, page 1.)
In addition, we applaud the decision to cancel classes Monday. Even though it put us a little further behind in class, the decision made sense given the mass migrations to and from Houston last weekend. We also appreciate President David Leebron’s and Provost Eugene Levy’s decision not to make up the missed days. They correctly ascertained that Rice students and faculty can catch up in a hurry when they need to.
