TOPS cut, but no effect on LSU.

LSU officials are breathing a sigh of relief that, so far at least, spring enrollment does not appear to be affected by cuts to the state’s popular TOPS tuition program.
During last summer’s legislative session, lawmakers slashed funding to TOPS in order to help balance the state budget, though they front-loaded the program so that fall tuition would be almost fully covered while spring tuition will only be funded at 40%.
At the time, higher education officials said they were worried about the potential impact of the cuts on spring enrollment. But Jason Droddy, interim vice president for communication, says LSU was never really expecting a drastic decline.
There was never a problem!!!

It will affect the other state institutions more. Which is fine by me. We have way too many 4 year colleges in this state that only exist because kids like to take TOPS money to go live the college life for a few years and then drop out and go to the oilfield.

As the premier university in the southeast, LSU will still have plenty of students lined up to enroll, even if they have to pay a little out of of pocket.
