UL System cuts tuition to $275/hour w/no fees (UPDT: only for adults returning to school)
Posted on 5/5/20 at 10:56 am

Results in 4,125 for a full 15 per semester. Fees are gone.
Schools include: Grambling, La Tech, McNeese, Nicholls, NWSU, SELU, ULL, ULM, UNO

So the Advocate has updated the story since they originally posted it.

The tuition change is almost a 45% decrease in price, Henderson said. The move is part of the UL System's "Compete Louisiana" initiative, which aims to boost the percentage of Louisianans with a college degree from 44.2% to 60% by 2030.

The lowering of tuition will also lower tuition revenue in school budgets, but Henderson said the program is "not a loss of revenue in any way." He said it's designed to improve the system's revenue from a business perspective. The program, Henderson said, is designed to make more students into workers in Louisiana, growing the number of taxpayers, and help the revenue growth in the state.

Tuition prices for regular students remain unchanged, and the Compete Louisiana students must meet three qualifications to receive the lower tuition rate: they must be a Louisiana resident, have earned some college credit but no degree, and they must be out of school for at least two years.
(Editor's Note: This story was updated to include the student qualifications for these tuition cuts.)

While I like the idea a lot, at the end of the day it falls on the legislature to create a competitive and diverse job market in the state to stop the brain drain.

Just another reason the University of Louisiana is THE flagship

Good course change, but it won’t change the business climate in LA or help to generate jobs that do not exist.
It may just result in more people going to ULL.

When did they get removed from the LSU System? Am I that out of touch?

This is a brilliant move and one that will actually lead these universities in a sphere of huge enrollment gains. Kudos for the forward thinking leadership there.

Glad Louisville is finally doing something for their students.

The ULL system is getting their arse handed to them now that LSU went to holistic admissions.
And good luck with that funding model. Tuition increases can only be approved by the state legislature. What makes fiscal sense today will bite them in the arse tomorrow

They charge for that crap they call education?
Posted on 5/5/20 at 11:05 am to fightingtigers98
Really good move. Now if all schools would eliminate the shitty electives to pad the tuition cost and reduce a degree to core curr at 90 hours, they would be very much commended.

If they really want to help enrollment a few of those schools should be consolidated.
ETA: and stop killing kids financially for useless degrees.

But muh "well rounded students" argument...

Still $30K+ to get a degree from ULL, McNeese, etc
That's about $29,995 too much

Here is your damn problem. We have WAY too many damn schools. We should cut them down to LSU BR, LSU Shreveport, UNO and maybe ULL. Why is it that LA refuses to eliminate all these institutions?

I'm wondering where they're getting these numbers. No way 44% of Louisianans have a college degree.

100% agree!!!
We also have THREE state university systems
Maryland, which has 2 million more citizens than Louisiana has only one system and is in the midst of a campus consolidation plan saving millions if not billions of higher ed dollars

Yeah, it looks like only 21% of Louisianans have a college degree.
