Discussions of storms and professional ethics dominated the annual conference of the National Association for College Admission Counseling here in late September.
As Hurricane Rita raced toward the Gulf Coast, admissions deans and high-school counselors discussed the long-term effects of Hurricane Katrina on higher education. Although attendees left with more questions than answers, the association vowed to continue helping colleges deal with the disasters, and it created an ad hoc committee to develop recommendations for aiding displaced students.
