Nobody got back to me with the % of the state budget and grant monies higher education gets... I wonder why?
A little over 9% (~3 billion). With 3% ($98 mill) OF that 9% being constitutional protected, so 97% of the higher education budget is subjected to cuts.
Departments with a higher amount of budget money:
Executive: $7 billion
Health and Hospitals: $7.9 billion
Dept of Education: $5 billion
Imo, tuition needs to be raised and decrease the number of postsecondary public institutions in the state.

Yes, but the number of state employees Louisiana has is obscene. Cutbacks need to be made in EVERY department including higher education.
