re: Note to Out of State Alums

I live out of state. I want to get back so bad but it isn't possible right now. My son runs track and has written offers from GA and TN. It is my dream for my son to attend LSU in 2 yrs. But GA is offering him a lot. I just can't imagine me rooting for GA even in track. Guess it just sucks to be me...

Ya'll are going to be really upset when you get wind of the proposed budget cuts being announced mid sept.
LSU will be set back a decade or more as a result of these cuts. Over 100 profs/instructors to be cut. Some have already turned in their notices and left for greener pastures and many in the process of leaving but still teaching this semester at LSU. That means much larger classes and courses to be cut.
Many will not be happy with the cuts to be announced by facility services. They will be able to do routine maintenance and keep the grass cut but no new flower plantings or general landscaping improvements on campus. 80+ employees cut. Instead of custodial staff cleaning nightly every bldg it'll be reduced to 3 times a week per bldg.
On top of the elimination of many programs to come.

written offers from GA
Go to Georgia. Better school.
This does set LSU back. I understand the whole merit thing. I agree with it. But LSU cannot attract top students outside LA based solely on merit. It is not there yet. The legacy program was a step toward that.
More LA students will get in. But they won't be the top students. They will be the ones that would not get in other than the fact that there are fewer out of staters. And they will pay the low tuition. And LSU will slide.
And fwiw, the legacy scholarship has merit built into it. It is not automatic.
