BTW-This Mann dude shovels this crap while teaching two classes per year while being paid $128,000 a year by LSU.


So does he get paid for all of those anti-Jindal tweets and blog posts he does? I'm just trying to justify that salary.

He gets paid for teaching two classes a year.

$128,000 dollars a year. For two classes. Oh and I'm sure he's doing some "research" as well.

Right, because nobody needs to know how to read and write.

If you made it to LSU and you can't read and write, someone in admissions isn't doing their job.

What does the state spend in TOPS scholarships per year? Should we make it harder to attain and/or make the recipient pay back the money if they fall under the requirements?
It is 2.5 GPA and a 20 on the ACT for the lowest award.

Min for tops should be a 3.0, even then, I think it should be higher.

His Twitter account provides a better description than anything I can come up with.

Surprisingly he has a wiki page.

I've known him personally. His rhetoric vs. face to face is like jeckly and hyde. I guess that's true of a lot of people.

The first thing that should be done is to raise the minimum TOPS requirement to a 3.25 and 27.

No one who gets below a 27 should be getting a free ride.

TOPS needs to be reformed in a number of ways. So much revenue lost and people seem to have no idea how unique this program is. Obviously raise standards and tie it to remaining in state. Many ways to do it. It's ridiculous to give people free rides under a program intended to keep people in Louisiana, only to have them up and leave upon graduation. That's a terrible ROI for the state to educate that many for free only to have them not contribute after.

Why is our endowment so minuscule?

It's embarrassing how small it is.

Why is that the truth? Have any audits been done to assess the efficiency in the use of money and state schools? Why should the taxpayers be on the hook just so LSU & Co can continue to exist at the lifestyle they are accustomed to?




Louisianians congrats--you deserve your flagshit university.

Just curious - when did you attend LSU? Because this is a very accurate description of the ME department as well, except I didn't get to experience the "real educators." Apparently they had already been kicked to the curb.

Your answer is in this thread. No pride in having a world-class university.
