Vitter would have plugged in some wealthy "business man" that does more damage than a trial lawyer, at this point it's just different sides to the same coin and it's just a different group at the feeding pen now.

Are these guys LSU alums? If not, where did they get their law degree and what is their previous relationship to LSU if any?

Ok fine Temple and Pitt since they have not been found guilty of covering up child molestation, and they also have a similar board makeup.
Does anybody remember the BOT know about the Sandusky situation before the shite hit the fan? I know Paterno did, the AD, and school President did, but I do not remember if any board members were involved?

I forgot to put the
up, but that had nothing to do with the topic, I was just trying to remember how deep the shite went at Penn State and could not remember if the board was involved or not. I'll go back and edit with the so ppl know that is not related to my argument for having a board that limits the political influence. quote:
Your original point is correct, despite how that particular event was handled.. Penn st. is far and away a better managed academic institution than LSU. We would benefit greatly from a system like that.
LSU and LaTech should be made state-related universities and the state should give them autonomy over their own budgets. If ULL, ULM, UNO, or any other school joins LSU and LaTech in Tier1 then they should also be given state-related status.

I went to school with Glenn Armentor. I will say this about him - his life story is a true rags to wishes story. He came from nothing to achieve what he has.

No because then we would never hear the end of The University of Louisiana shite.

The current management of actual higher education is pretty bad in the state. The state first needs to allow for more areas to be cut in the budget besides healthcare and higher ed. Then universities need to be dwindled down and have the people that run these places less political figures and worry about the actual education.

LSU and LaTech
La Tech and LSU are not in the same planet as "Tiers" LSU is a major state university that is nationally known university. Obviously differenf states have different ways that there pubilc higher ed is setup. There is really no right or wrong because each state is usually very different from another, broadly speaking. Except the way Louisiana has there setup with public higher ed systems that offer almost the same thing, because of politics and nobody seeing that and changing it, watching it crumble.

What does this have to do with being on a board of advisors to an academic institution?
Posted on 5/29/16 at 7:38 am to The Baker
I didn't vote for Edwards, but you guys act like the republicans did anything different. Kinda like Jindal appointed Lee Mallett from Iowa and he had never even stepped foot on LSU's campus until the appointment. His company donated close to $100k the year before to the state Republican Party.
It sucks all the way around that folks that don't care about anything but power are the ones with it.

Not a damn thing and I didn't say it did. I was just commenting on his personal life. Get off of your high horse.

Two different playing parameters:
LSU Does a decent job considering lack of funding by the state - actually it is an embarrassment that the state's "flagship" school is so poorly funded.
LaTech has benefited from a president that stressed academic progress at all costs - and those results show in nearly every metric. The new president seems very proactive on the academic side as well.
You have to include a New Orleans presence in the discussion and UL-L would need to be in the discussion and as well. The rest of the Louisiana's universities should be severely limited or shut down.

Williams went to W&L law school. May have gone to LSU undergrad but I cannot remember.
