Wasn't SULC's bar passage last year around 40%? How the hell can you be accredited with numbers like that
I would like to know the percentage of those who passed and failed went to Southern for their BA.

Is this because of all the murders?

Still better than SUNO's graduation rate.

Though Mims-Devezin said the graduation rate, by the university’s own calculation, was at 20 to 22 percent this year, the state last pegged SUNO’s four-year, on-time rate at 11.7 percent.

Absolutely agreed If we still want a state funded "flagship HBCU" then keep SU but close SUNO and Grambling The SU campus is large enough to accomodate demand There are too many campuses siffoning from the very limited financial well.
You know, I get still get alot of flack for my previous threads on SU.
However, this is an idea that even I came up with a few years back. I agree that SU in and of itself is enough to meet the need for a state HBCU. Let Xavier stay private and possibly privatize SU.
I think Grambling and SUNO should go as well. Not because of rivalry but because the money in those areas would be better concentrated in other areas. Both schools have the enrollment levels of community colleges and could easily siphon off to other universities.

Shut. It. Down.

I've seen this quote in the thread more than once "let Xavier stay private." Is there really a move out there from XULa or anyone else to become public? I worked there for a time, and that was never even a thought.
XULa has a pretty solid BoT and identity, there's no way they want to become public. To suggest otherwise or "let them stay..." is beyond ignorant, and sounds so condescending. It's like coon-asses commenting on Chris Blair and how good of a job he does.

If he does, apparently it won't even matter.

Believe me when I tell you it is so much worse than the newspapers let on...
Decades of incompetence and underfunding has lead to shortcuts and underqualified personel running departments they should have never been hired to work in the first place.
The state should absolve themselves of SU and let it be a fully private university.
While this is true, I sadly think this is used as to propogate stereotypes. There are plenty of nonHBCU university that have the exact same issues.
The problem lies in that there is not enough funding or that there are too many univerisities which is ultimately watering down the services they provide.

15 downvotes? It seriously was an esteemed university more than 30 years ago. Let's not kid ourselves.

I only said "let them stay private" because that is the path that they wanted to go and as you stated, they are succeeding.
To be honest, I could have been accepted into Xavier if I wanted to be. However, they did not have the graduate program that I wanted.
If I was more into Pharmacy or medical sciences, I definitely would have chosen Xavier over Southern.

XULA is a great school. Are there any plans to make it any bigger? I know they are kinda land locked, but I would like it become a flagshipish private university in the state for all people and just not upper middle class black people

You are correct
But we have too many 4 year schools when you consider the size and population of our state.
That in itself stretches funds too thin. Not to mention there is an su Shreveport and su no, along with all the different lsu affiliates (excluding med schools)
Unfortunately southern needs to absolve or become privatized.

"Decades of underfunding."
"State should absolve itself."
Hasn't the state already done that by underfunding?

Should have happened years ago.

I think this would be a good plan
Keep Southern University BR
Absolve all SU branches (SUNO, SU Shreve, etc.)
Absolve Grambling
Those students really should just go to SU if they want an HBCU experience. Some of the money from closing the schools could go towards adding the necessary apartments and buildings for the intake of new students. As for Dillard... well I don't see why its above investigation.
As for traditional universities, could someone explain to me why Southeastern exists. Also, why does LSU have a Eunice branch?
It is perplexing why we always just target the HBCU when we also have other 4 year schools that are relatively niche.
