The Carnegie Corporation of New York announced today that it would provide $14-million in grants to help rebuild the higher-education infrastructure of New Orleans, two years after Hurricane Katrina devastated many of the city’s colleges and universities. The grants include $2-million for Dillard University, $4-million for Xavier University of Louisiana, and $5-million for Tulane University. The grants followed word last week that the U.S. Department of Education had awarded $30-million in grants to higher-education institutions in Louisiana and three other states that were damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. —Marisa López-Rivera
