The state of Louisiana has become very blind to what is going on. TOPS "may" have been designed to keep the best and brightest at home, but it is rewarding the very average as well.


I don't see how that precludes the program from keeping the best in state.

At the same time they are financially punishing higher achieving out-of-state students.


I'm not buying this. LSU (and all of LA) has some of the lowest oos tuition in the country

LINK

This list shows LSU as the first major, non-satellite, university for oos tuition. Now I'm not putting all my stock into this link, but everything I have ever seen has been consistent in that LSU is one of the cheaper universities you can attend, regardless of residency.

That link said that LSU out of state tuition is $5800. LSU website states oos tuition is $26,800 per semester or roughly $34,000 more per year than a LA resident.
