The Louisiana Legislature is considering a bill that would give Republican Gov. Jeff Landry and his successors unprecedented power over higher education: the ability to directly hire university system presidents.


I realize the governor heavily influences the board but when it gets to this point it impacts the leadership at the university and LSU will become even more political then it already is. Hopefully common sense wins out and this bill doesn't see the light of day.

It won’t be long before ULL is the flagship. Started with Blanco. Gonna be finished by Landry.

Kinda like Obama then Biden.

What in the hell about changing the Middleton name and the hiring of F King or Tate gives you the warm fuzzies that the BOS is doing a fantastic job? Forgotten this already?
quote:

LSU Board of Supervisor member Collis Temple’s comments reflect poorly on LSU

quote:

Will Temple and the board move next to establish the image police and begin monitoring the words, activities, and social posts of employees and all sponsors and business partners that are affiliated with the university that might reflect poorly on LSU?

Do they start with fraternities, athletics or the board? The ongoing political theater by the LSU board over the energy contract is embarrassing and reflects good ol’ boy Louisiana politics at its worst. And guess who’s right in the middle of it? That’s right: Temple.

LSU has always been political. John Bell could be considered one of the most political Governors when it concerned LSU in the last 50 years. The BOS appointments are political patronage. It is funded by our taxes so LSU in inherently political. You are just throwing crap against the wall because it is Landry.

If some of his constitutional changes pass, there may be a way to actually protect some of LSU's funding. I guarantee you Landry won't be on the news saying there may be no LSU football if we don't pass his agenda. You are really grasping at straws here. JBE gave us Jim Berhard and Collis Temple's full entrenchment in LSU. He worked to privatize services at LSU as a direct transfer to Bernhard. That is why Collis Temple is on the board.

LSU is and has always been political. Please provide any inkling of proof how Landry is going after LSU. We survived Blanco who was far more involved in LA University politics than Landry. This is just trying to start garbage.

Maybe Landry won't try to run over LSU fans leaving games with his police escort going 90 MPH. Maybe he won't show up at the next Heisman Ceremony or try to get Brian Kelly to campaign for him.

You need to go away with this shite.

This isn't possible.

It will actually just get political in a different direction.

He showed his arse early - just like JBE . Don't frick with LSU. I was willing to give both a chance and they both lost me early in their tenure because of it. I was done with JBE when he threatened LSU if his taxes didn't pass, and I was done when Landry went look at me pandering without the facts and aimed it at LSU.

The governor appoints the board. The board does his bidding. It's the same fricking thing.
