Guys. Quit acting like LSU is Harvard. It’s near the bottom of the SEC in academics. It’s the flagship institution of the #50 state in education. It’s filled with Louisiana culture and students from out of state that couldn’t get into their own in state colleges.

bachelor’s degree at Nicholls State University in 1993.

Rousse worked his way up through the ranks in the marine transportation business and was encouraged to further his education for the benefit of the business, so he earned an MBA from the University of New Orleans in 2002. Rousse became a partner in the marine transportation business and played a key role in the sale of that company.


quote:

In 2004, Rousse continued his education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he earned a second master’s degree in economics in 2006 and a doctorate in economics three years later.


quote:

After advancing his academic degrees, Rousse was on staff at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Initially, he was an economic outreach specialist and then moved into the financial markets group as a policy research specialist.


quote:

Rousse was the principal of a registered investment advisory firm and was a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.


quote:

At Northern Arizona University, he taught economics and finance classes, and he eventually became the associate dean of accreditation and operations.

Dr. Rousse has a wide array of research interests, which can loosely be categorized into three basic areas: International Trade, Financial Integration and Gross Domestic Product Volatility, and Regional Economics.

I do not trust Governor Landry one bit. I do not think he has LSU's best interests in mind with anything he does. BUT, I did not interview the three finalists though I heard the Alabama Provost was the most impressive.

When did they move it from ULL? Had a kid in St Amant band way back and the competition was at the ULL football stadium and was very well done.

That must be why I saw all the buses and trailers from Quachita HS going down US 165 this morning.

Volumes? My words are plain: McNeese is a crap little podunk school and there is no way LSU would ever hire their nobody president but for our crap little podunk governor. Those enough volumes for you?

Did you believe that LSU would have ever hired a guy without any presidential experience? Ever? Because we did, and you didnt make one comment about it

Which means that youre a fraud. Youre likely not at McNeese. Or have kids. And if you did, they arent in a band. This actually gave you away
