Awesome

MIT is opening its doors to Katrina survivors who've suddenly found themselves without an alma mater:

In the meantime, we are accepting special applications from students whose educational plans have been interrupted by this disaster. We will evaluate such applications on a case-by-case basis. We are asking all such students, undergraduate or graduate, to first contact the MIT Admissions Office at 617-253-4791 for a special application form (PDF) for visiting students. Graduate inquiries will be sent to the relevant department for decision.

(Apparently Harvard is accepting emergency transfers as well!)

You see how Curt Schilling took in a family of 7 kids from Mississippi and is paying for them to live in a Boston hotel for a whole year?

I have to admit, that was pretty classy of the guy.
