It seems that the issue is being taken care of. Check below from tulane's

Dear Tulane students, parents and friends,
Since arriving in Houston about twelve hours ago, I have learned that there
has been an outpouring of support and assistance from universities and
colleges across the country. They are reaching out to help our students and
university in all possible ways. I am deeply appreciative of these efforts
during this time of tragedy.
I had an opportunity yesterday to speak with representatives of the three
leading higher education organizations in the United States including the
American Council on Education, the American Association of Universities and
the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges. We
have scheduled a conference call for 2 p.m. today to discuss how
universities and colleges around the country might offer help to our
students in the event there are no classes held on Tulane’s campus this
fall.
When possible, I’ve been trying to scan the student web blogs and am deeply
touched beyond words by your support and passion. Your loyalty to Tulane
University is touching and vital to our recovery plan.
I will update you again at 6 p.m.
Scott Cowen
