There is no reason a flagship school in a capital city should be surrounded by a ghetto.
I have always thought this ^. I wonder what LSU fans that traveled to Madison, WI thought?
When I think of Baton Rouge I think of Madison, Wisconsin. Two state capitals with large public universities. One is not like the other.
I understand the demographics are different but you’re correct, there is no logical explanation for LSU not simply buying the ghetto next to it. Turn it into student housing and keep it moving and grooving.
Probably some group of communists protecting “residents housing rights” in BR if I had to guess. I can see crime getting out of hand in large metros (Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans, etc) but I can’t understand how it can be that bad in a university town that is also a state capital.

F. Wallace Eversburg owned everything around LSU.
LSU was the deep state before we ever used that term. The student body has to battle a confrontational and unqualified employee cartel that views the student as a victim to plunder.

Most of the ghetto around LSU was formerly student housing. If you want to bitch; bitch about Baton Rouge allowing sprawl around the University with new developments that turn to shite quickly and HUD /Section 8. If code enforcement was used correctly. All those rat holes could be closed and bought at auction by developers or investment districts. This is a political problem and LSU is knee deep in it. They wouldn't want some over zealous legislator trying to cut more of their budget.
