Exactly! He was so proud of the fact that he prevented Les from being fired. This fool belongs at a school without an athletic department.

Link?


I'll see if I can dig it up. I've heard it directly from both President Alexander and Provost Koubek at a public event. I believe one of them discussed it at a Press Club luncheon.

They aren't looking to drop it from 30k to 18k. More of an attitude to recruit higher quality students and if that results in a drop from 30k to 25k...so be it. You can see it in the BRCC-LSU partnership and the larger effort to streamline classes at the other schools in the LSU System.

I wonder what he considers higher quality? Im pretty sure it's not just grades that will be factored in. Does he want more northerners? Asians? Whites? Non-Christians? Very curious, because I don't really trust him to screen applicants on anything but gpa. This man is a liberal elitist.

If you'd make a coherent statement like the OP, you may have a point.

No you're not Charles. You're a piece of shite who thinks a bunch of teenagers running around a field with a ball is more important than a billion dollar machine that educates over 30,000 kids, employs over 13,000 full-time people, and provides ground breaking research that changes the world every day.

But your team isn't the best team anymore, so you need to throw a fit.

frick off.

I want our President to get the funding, as he would have anyway, and not at the expense of LSU athletic progress.

In other words, I expect LSU's President not to get strong-armed by extortionary tactics.

You realize the Provost, not the President, oversees recruiting initiatives?

Amen. ! Just like I expect him to stand up for the enginneering school and make the right decision without the BS. So if he will do what he did with all eyes on him. What does he do when it's behind the scenes without publicity. Does he sell out his deans ?

I hope that's why it dipped but I don't see that being the reason. Plenty of better schools are bigger than LSU

And you don't think F. King has any influence at all?

I think this semester's drop is mainly due to TOPS.

Most of those bigger schools are in bigger states. LSU could do some culling to improve is graduation and retention rates. Usually occurs with higher-end students.

Of course. But if you think he's telling the provost we need more Atheist, Asians, who identify as gender neutral you're kidding yourself.

The focus is on students graduating HS with better GPA's and standardized test scores. You can rest easy tonight.

Very intelligently said. Your statement echoes how a lot of others feel.

I believe Alexander is about to find out how little power he actually has....Money talks and Academics get run over.

Hey buddy I have been an LSU fan since before you were born. LSU fans are spoiled rotten.... The administration is doing a horrible job. But it's ironic that this thread s started after a loss yesterday.

You're a fricking idiot. King has done amazing things for the university. I'm so sorry the football team lost yesterday, but to fire the head of a UNIVERSITY that has done great things because a sport lost a game, is just fricking dumb. Grow up.


You are either an idiot or you hate LSU or both. Either way, I hope that people like you NEVER have any influence on policy at the university. You are a disgrace to the school, as is the entire board.

That, I wouldn't have a problem with at all. I would hope they would keep it only about gpa.
