The law requires any state employee earning over $100,000 per year must obtain a Louisiana driver’s license and register any vehicles in their name in the state. The four LSU employees, all residents of Illinois, refused to do either.

LSU knew of the situation since at least Feb. 6, when an internal audit was released in response to a confidential tip that the four employees were not compliant. Despite all four employees having worked at LSU for more than a full year, they did not consider themselves to be Louisiana residents and none had obtained a Louisiana license or registered their vehicle with the state, the audit said.

The highest paid of the four, LSU Chief Technology Officer Andrea Ballinger, made $268,000 a year working at LSU, the audit says. Ballinger was given a $20,000 relocation stipend to assist with her move to Baton Rouge.

LSU management set Mar. 8, as a “tentative target date” for the employees to comply with the law, but nothing had been done by that deadline. The other three LSU employees include Matthew Helm, who made $202,085 per year, Susan Flanagin, who made $149,000 per year, and Thomas Glenn, who made $144,200 per year at LSU. Helm was given a $15,000 relocation stipend by LSU and Flanagin was given a $5,000 relocation stipend, the audit said. Glenn did not receive a relocation stipend.
