re: The truth about LSU's budget--

What percentage of the budget for Pennington in FY 2007 was state funding vs FY 13? A huge problem for Pennington was that Jindal gave them a lot of money to build those state of the art clinic and imaging centers and promised to up the state funding for operating said buildings. Then he cut the funding.

That's total funding, but since they don't have tuition dollars, that's probably mostly state funding (federal grants are not budgeted via the state budget).

The numbers I gave were for the operational budget. The capital outlay budget is where the buildings were budgeted. They only got cut relative to the high-water mark of FY07-08. If you throw that out, they have been on a relatively steady (but minor) upward trajectory.
