What did he do wrong when he was here?

Driving force behind the Master Plan. Focused on upgrading LSU research opportunities instead of education. His initiative was the reason LSU started firing all its instructors and replacing them with phds or doctoral candidates.

While I had some good professors at my time at LSU that were phds, the majority of them were there to do research, and class got in the way. I learned far more from instructors that were there to teach.

This also resulted in the combining of the CM and IE depts which meant all the CM instructors that actually had built stuff we're replaced by IE phds who had no clue what they were teaching. Thankfully its been corrected, but for the last couple of years CM has been putting out kids that don't even know how to read plans. That's a problem.
