re: Note to Out of State Alums

We all should be agree with the state, not the university. For the past 2-3 years the state has told the public schools & universities to cut their budgets. This all came to be because after the storm, Louisiana had a surplus of money due to all the contruction and influx in cash on the gulf coast. This was a temporary influx and state politions started more social programs and spending that is now protected from cuts by the state constitution. Now that there is no more cash coming in, the state can only cut health care and education budgets. That is why year after year, state colleges are having to cut their budgets.
