""Dr. Ivor van Heerden, the coastal scientist who saved lives in New Orleans and St. Bernard Parish, and led the state's independent Team Louisiana investigation into Hurricane Katrina levee failures, has been fired by Louisiana State University - without explanation.
The New York Times quotes Dr. Charles Delzell, an LSU professor and president of the LSU chapter of the American Association of University Professors as saying,
“It’s a clear case of retaliation for his (van Heerden's) criticism of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.”
If you agree and want to do something, call the LSU President John Lombardi at (225) 578-2111 and ask him to consider re-hiring Dr. van Heerden. You can also email him at lombardi@lsu.edu
You can also sign the petiton below urging the Chancellor of LSU to reconsider his action.""
