My daughter just finished at LSU under this program. It was a big help. Btw, it was a savings of 75% of the out of state fees.

B.S.

1. He is a liar. Should go work in Washington.
2. I love LSU, but if he thinks this is the way to compete with Texas, Michigan, Virginia, etc. he is a dunce.
3. Since he not a dunce, see #1.

I honestly don't have a problem with this. Why should a kid get a scholarship just because his parent(s) went to LSU? Saying he is making it a regional university is wrong though, because LSU gives very few scholarships to in-state kids now due to TOPS. They are on a very tight budget yet still trying to attract the top students in the country. I'm sorry if out of state alumni were counting on this as a way to send their kids to college, but I guess they should have went the "get good grades" or "be a star athlete" route if you didn't want to pay for it.
