re: Tulane just wants to play

I would like you to answer this question that you ignored if we are going to continue this ridiculous argument: Do you believe that LSU is a superior academic institution than Rice, Emory, or Wake Forest? Your logic would suggest that you actually believe this...

LSU is better than wake. Rice and Emery are great universities and LSU in many ways is on par with them. You greenies are the ones who are delusional. Walk around LSU's campus. There buildings and research centers on campus at LSU that don't even exist at Tulane. LSU with it's scope and depth of graduate programs and research produces more knowledge than Tulane. Look at National Science Foundation Grants. LSU is a land grant instituion. It's research on agriculture alone surpasses the entire college of liberal arts at Tulane. LSU produces more graduate students, more ph.d's, more masters, more publications, more books, and more knowledge than Tulane. Compare research productivity of faculty at LSU versus Tulane.

LSU offers more high-quality progams than Tulane. Also LSU is dedicated to advancing knowledge and educating a much wider range of students than Tulane. LSU unlike Tulane has a mission to improve the lives of people around the world and Louisiana. More students come from all over the world to study at LSU than Tulane.

LSU also has the higher moral purpose than Tulane. Tulane wants to be selective, snobby, and elitist which limits the impact Tulane has on the world. Tulane has chosen to be small and provincial and concentrate on a few programs while LSU truly has ambitions that wish to help the planet in as many places as possible.

But in the end look at the numbers (research dollars, graduate programs, faculty productivity, degrees awarded). Tulane always loses to LSU.
