A little more than three months after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans , forcing administrators to cancel the fall semester at Tulane University , the storm has dealt another blow to the institution. On Thursday university officials announced a sweeping restructuring that will slice $60-million from the annual budget and will result in the layoffs of 233 faculty members, the elimination of 14 doctoral programs and 5 undergraduate majors, and the suspension of 8 athletics teams. Tulane\'s president, Scott S. Cowen, revealed those plans for remaking the 13,000-student institution after concluding two days of meetings with the university\'s Board of Administrators in New Orleans . The plan is based in part on the expectation that 86 percent of Tulane\'s students will return in the spring.
