In the staff meeting last week, they said more job cuts could come very soon for my office, limited vehicle repairs, no new auto purchases, they are taking supplies away from us, parole boards aren't waiving fees, no new equipment, etc. on top of the cutbacks we have already taken


every dept at LSU has been doing that for 2 years now. LSU has taken 43 Million in cuts the past 2 years. Now in July if things dont change it'll be 1/3 of the instructors at LSU being laid off because most departments are maxed out in how much more they can cut.

Same in my department. Like I said before, the higher education is bloated and needs some substantial cuts. And yes, I understand the outrageous constitutionality of the cuts, which I don't agree with.

How much did the LSU budget increase soon after Katrina because of the windfall of taxes from reconstruction. If you compare the cuts to the increases from a couple years ago, LSU might still be better off today than they were before Katrina.
