Can you imagine if he had stayed on through all this mess?! Instead he's being paid more to be at a (slightly) more prestigious university, without this drama. He probably thanks God every day that Jeff Landry ran him off 1st!

Like him or not, Tate is a smart dude and saw the writing on the wall.

‘Member when he was hired and this board had a meltdown about racist math?

Although I respect Dr. Tate I have to wonder about what would be prompted to say on racist Ryan's podcast.

Is Tate allowed to say "not my circus, not my monkeys?"

Who gives a F@&K? He’s not here so he’s no longer a Tiger. He’s bringing “Diversity “ and DEI to Rutgers now. Good riddance.

The writing on the wall is the DEI nonsense is over. Time for LSU to worry about education and stop being the worst academic school in the conference.

This is a highly revisionist take. As much as he scared the sh*t out of me when he was hired, he really did prioritize the right things as President.

It's okay to disagree with somebody's personal beliefs and still believe they can do a good job professionally, hard as it is for some of you to understand

He prioritized flooding the campus with unqualified, test-optional Pell Grant minorities.

Yay.

The good ol boys were not going to let a black man be president of the LSU system. That was number one on their list.

But what a home run result for Tate, goes to a real university in the NE and out of the dumb south all in one whack.

You're forgetting one important part, we"re in La. where education is dead last or right above being dead last, so comprehension is not in most people wheelhouse here. It's backwood Billy's way or no way here.

Facts! One thing about it, the hate holds strong. It didnt matter what Tate was able to accomplish at LSU... they didnt want a black guy in that position.

This is so racist. How do you know the minorities aren’t qualified? Why the test optional approach didn’t help unqualified white ppl get in? Do your research, since more minorities has been admitted to lsu, they have improved their academic rankings.
