The whole school's reputation will be badly hurt by this. Don't only lookout for yourself and your college (business or engineering I'm guessing). It's not all about you, bud.

You're right. if a 10% reduction in your operating budget results in your business "collapsing", LSU's administration should be embarrassed and have its reputation tarnished.

Environmental Science, also didn't go to LSU.

I agree, but to say that an art degree is just as important as engineering or science degree is absurd. You want to know why many graduates are having trouble paying back $100,000 in student loans? Because majoring in finger painting doesn't pay the bills.

Engineering and business students, y’all won’t be affected right? Those programs are the gems of the University. They wouldn’t dare touch those institutions.

Wrong.

While you are sleeping, your schools may lose their accreditation.

In February, when the cuts were an estimated 35 percent, administrators warned the cuts would jeopardize the accreditation of the engineering and business schools. Now the cuts are likely to be 82 percent.

The teacher to student ratio, which is already high, will go up and threaten both colleges’ national competitive standing. Your degree will not mean as much as a degree from Ole Miss or the University of Alabama, and your chances of finding a job in the national marketplace will decrease exponentially.

Completing an engineering degree flow chart will take longer than expected when the class you need to move on to next semester’s engineering classes is full.
