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.

I agree with this. There is a whole lot at LSU that is going to be affected by the cuts. People should be directing a lot of that anger at your representatives IMO.

TOPS needs to go and that money can be given to universities to use other ways

No sense in keeping tops with these kinds of cuts

Given the close to $100 million cut from the LSU System budget I don't think the school has much of a choice.

I will agree that due to cut backs, these kinds of measures are necessary. But the way I understand this, it is a re-allocation. Where is the savings? This is hypocritical. :beatdeadhorse:
