Time for F. King Alexander to go
Posted on 5/3/16 at 11:33 am

It's been one fiasco after another since he got here. The academic bankruptcy scare tactic that turned out to be fruitless; The Les Miles debacle; and now if the allegations in Roy King's law suit have any basis, it's time for this guy to go. From the person that's supposed to promote and enhance our university, he's a PR nightmare. I realize bad press is going to get more attention, but what has Alexander done to make LSU better?

100% agree. He needs to gtfo

I agree. I'm not a huge fan of Alleva, but I think he's received a lot of criticism in the last 6 months that should have been directed at FKA

What have you done?

Start the petition to get FKA TF outta here

i'm at crossroads because while he hasn't exactly accomplished anything of note, he inherited a complete dumpster fire that hadn't yet surfaced before he got here.
We're a POS state that desperately needs to shut down obsolete universities, and it's simply out of his hands.
I'd prefer someone with a stem background or someone who came from a peer institution we're aspiring to be, like Ohio State or UGA
eta: i 100% agree that he's a pr nightmare for LSU though

Don't forget the longstanding LSU professor that King fired, despite being recommended to not do so. King and LSU are now being sued by her as well.

The lawsuit states that in December 2013, Buchanan was told she would not be teaching the following spring semester because students alleged the professor made inappropriate comments during class. The suit goes on to say that Buchanan was told that she would also not be up for promotion to full professor.
"I will go to my grave proud of the job I did at LSU," Buchanan said.
A faculty review committee did not find the allegations warranted Buchanan’s dismissal and only recommended that she be censured. The LSU Board of Supervisors, at the recommendation of Alexander, fired Buchanan in June.

What in the lawsuit brought you to this conclusion that Pres Alexander was behind this?

For starters, he's removed a metric ton of duplication within the LSU System through consolidations of AgCenter, Health Science Centers, etc.
I agree wholeheartedly on the need for more positive PR from his office, however.

Fire F King then have the new person hire a new AD and then fire/hire new coaches...profit

Ill be curious how this King Lawsuit shakes out but it doesnt look good from a PR point. Alexander may not have been directly involved with the accusations but I dont buy for one second he wasnt part of the end game. They seem to have felt King was low hanging fruit in that many people didnt seem to like him or felt his style was not conducive for public support.. The lawsuit at a time when people dont feel confidence in the administration is the problem they didnt see. Purely idiotic on their part that they didnt see it.

I just read the entire document. If even ONE of the things that Roy is claiming is true, which I believe all of them are, F. King needs to be fired. Along with a couple other named defendants.

I 100% agree. He has embarrassed the University enough. We could do a lot better. This is not his little fiefdom.

The Les Miles debacle
F. King did not start or cause this.

Didn't he just sign an extention? Pretty sure he did.

You forgot to mention that he is also currently censured by the LSU Faculty. This guy is a piece of work.

Agreed, Alexander is a complete joke and needs to be shown the door. He has done nothing but bring embarrassment upon the university. His little puppet shows in front of the legislature have made us a laughing stock. These left academics are the same as the damn politicians, gimme gimme gimme, more more more, yet none want to look and tighten the belt. These folks crying wolf prey upon the publics ignorance of how much money is actually coming in. Could LSU get more funding? Sure, but it isn't like they have lost anything in the past few years. Why not instead of begging for more of the public's money do you figure out how to raise more from private donations, make cuts to non money making programs, or generate additional revenue.
Their stubbornness in retaining Johnny Jones shows they don't give a shite about raising additional revenue.
