This.

You can always tell the ignorant person in the room "why are they using tax payer money..."

And general "well why don't they use that money for this instead"

Money that is assigned by an outside party cannot be reassigned by the recipient. Additionally, what LSU is doing by trying to be certified as a sanctuary or even "gold" cert sustainable campus, is that additional grants and fellowships will be open to the uni as a whole and individual programs

Which means that if anyone wants to complain about classrooms falling apart, write a check to fix that specifically.

Would this help the vet school specifically or could it have more broad positive impact? Either way, this looks more like an investment rather than a vanity project and should be applauded as such.

Especially if it is the Athletic Booster Club funding an investment in the academic side.
