LSU's enrollment pre-Katrina was as high as 31,000. LSU now has an enrollment of about 25,000. That's a decrease of 15%. How much has the LSU overall budget decreased from before Katrina to now? After these last round of cuts, LSU's is near or above the budget back when the student population was 31,000.
Maybe LSU DOES need to get rid of some of these instructors and staff to bring the student to staff ratio back into a more manageable/affordable range. There's nothing wrong with becoming a lean running organization, much like thousands of business have had to do in the last year or so. We, people in the private sector, have been dealing with no pay raises, job cuts, increased responsibilities, etc. I don't feel sorry if government workers now have to bite the bullet and experience reality like the rest of us private-sector employees have had to indure.
