Dillard University President Dr. Walter Kimbrough talks about the campus and Hurricane Issac with Inside Higher Education.

Hurricane Isaac has brought powerful winds and many inches of rain to the storm-weary Gulf Coast, leaving hundreds of thousands without power in New Orleans and elsewhere in Louisiana. Among the many people and places that have lost electricity: Dillard University, one of the institutions hardest-hit by Katrina.

Dillard students were sent to Centenary College, in Shreveport, safely out of the way of the storm.
