While so many are focusing on the OOS Legacy Program, LSU has plans for you in state people as well. I just wonder how citizens of a state with income averages ranked second lowest in the country are going to find a way to pay tution and fees similar to its southern peers like Georgia and Florida (approximately $4,500 per semester) as described in the LSU plan.
If you think Martin is only focusing on OOS, think again. He has now turned his stepping stone at LSU to the in state people as well. Martin is a very engaging individual and could probably do standup comedy if he chooses.
See the facts below and look at his press conference on Youtube at the 17:30 mark.
THE LSU PLAN FOR GREATER IMPACT ON LOUISIANA
The financial problems of the State of Louisiana for Fiscal Years 2011, 2012, and 2013 will cause
additional funding reductions for state agency and higher education budgets. To best prepare LSU for these significant budgetary challenges, the University is implementing the “LSU Plan for Greater Impact on Louisiana”, a strategy to position the University for the next three years and beyond. Several aspects of the LSU Plan are consistent with the Executive Budget and the LA Grad Act that Governor Jindal.
Financial Goal for Autonomy:
Minimum of $14 million net increase in tuition/fee revenue annually.
LSU requires greater authority and autonomy over its operational variables so it may provide
the best educational value to the students and citizens of Louisiana.
A. Tuition and Fee Authority
1. Amount of Increase – LSU needs the ability to charge students a sufficient rate to
maintain a quality classroom experience. Tuition and fees remain the primary means to
counteract reductions in state funding. Governor Jindal’s proposed LA Grad Act would
permit a 10% annual increase in tuition, which is an amount more closely reflecting
what LSU will need in the upcoming years.
2. Peer Analysis – LSU seeks to increase tuition and fees to a rate that is similar to its peers.
LSU’s current tuition and fees are $2,761 per year less than the average of its peers.

Martin Press Conference
Good Luck to all in Louisiana, but I don't see a future in Martin's OOS or IS plans. I only see it bettering Martin and not the people of Louisiana.

LSU's instate fees are cheap as hell. They should be raising them. Probably the cheapest for instate students of schools equal size and caliber.
