The only thing LSU should be involved in, if anything, would be advocating for a "safer" city in general in which it is located. Higher crime rates eventually will deter and/or play a role in potential students from attending a school. This should be LSU's only angle.


Correct, in this situation. Don't know why you are getting downvotes.

However, after watching how LSU handled the Brooks situation, it is obvious LSU isn't going to go out of their way to call out the real issue. Instead, they took on "underage drinking".

Yeah, that will solve the issues. LOLOLOLOL

He's getting downvotes because he brushed off LSU's involvement with "if anything." Every single parent/student that has ever gone through an LSU orientation remembers LSU leading off the presentation with just how serious and important it purports to take safety and crime on both campus and the city that houses the campus, how if LSU was a city itself it would be the 4th largest city in Louisiana so the university has a fiduciary responsibility to every parent and student yada yada. I'm not going to cite LSU's entire mission statement but again, they have been plugging this great fiduciary responsibility for the last 50 years plus, so they don't have an "if anything" plausible deniability especially when one of their students was headed back in the direction of campus and was senselessly ambushed and slaughtered simply from a crime of opportunity. And then then incompetent city had to finally admit it lied in the past about an alarming and growing gang activity miles from LSU's campus.

LSU should have been using its resources and political clout to clean up the area around campus starting 30-plus years ago.

There is constant building and development by LSU on and near campus, so there is no reason they could not have improved those areas.

They could have built classrooms, student housing, parking garages, even some smaller sports facilities in some of those areas, or done some other things to attract private development and money.
