Tulane University Statement Regarding La. Supreme Court DecisionJuly 1, 2008
Today's decision is based on a narrow procedural issue related to the standing of the plaintiffs. The court has required the plaintiffs to prove they are in fact heirs of Josephine Louise Newcomb who have a right to bring this lawsuit.
Tulane University remains confident that our actions regarding women's education at Tulane are consistent with Mrs. Newcomb's wishes and that her will imposes no conditions.
Additionally, women students are finding a Tulane education more attractive than ever with women composing more than 54 percent of this year's incoming class.
