I was so sorry to hear the news that F. King Alexander, one of the greatest presidents in LSU history, is leaving LSU for Oregon State University. Under his leadership, much has been accomplished: 1. Largest and most diverse freshman classes in history. 2. Largest overall enrollment in history. 3. Largest graduating classes these past two years in LSU history of African-Americans, Hispanic, Asian American, female, out-of-state and in-state students, first-generation students, and veterans. 4. Five of the seven best fundraising years in history. 5. LSU systemwide achieved a milestone reaching $ 1.1 billion in research funding.

Well that's a slap in the face of every other previous president.

This from a man who stole a paycheck from LSU for over 25 years. Dale, shut up.

There is a lot of F King hate on this board. But I’ll give him props. You may have cringed at his methods, but the guy fought for LSU. He fought for funding, every single year, through all the Jindal budget cuts. He deserves more credit than anyone for bringing back acceptable funding levels.

Thank you for being the lone voice of sanity.

Then you know nothing about Dale Brown. He was a SJW before anyone knew what it was.

LSU should strive to get the most capable students and graduate them, not the most diverse.

It was not F King who did all that...any president would habe done that during the same time frame! It was inevitable to have that type of change with the economic growth that has occured

Not true.

Dale is different, but anyone that knows him knows Dale is a very genuine, great caring person. In his lifetime, he will have made a positive difference in many lives. That’s something we can all hope to achieve.

Does Dale know that today there are more people on earth than ever?

Correct.

And then keep them in state.

F King also did a great job alienating a large chunk of the alumni base.

He deserves credit for keeping “the ship afloat” during a state government economic crisis. But he also brought a lot of headache on himself.

He threatened to kill our football program. That is inexcusable and deserves the death blow.

We’d be paying Jimbo 75 million to trot Lowell Narcisse out for the Tax Slayer bowl?
