Stick it to these arse clowns and spread the message. Don't give a fricking penny to these assholes until FKA and JA are gone.

I understand the angst, and this campaign seems to be mistimed on the surface. That being said, donating to the endowment has very little to do with the issues you bring up.

Nothing about too hastily suspending Will Wade? that's what this is really about, is it not?

Thanks for wanting a better LSU athletic department. Lets hope more share your same sentiment.

To be fair, the lazy river funding came from student approved fees, paid by students themselves.

Oh but it does. Every cent given to LSU right now is a vote of confidence to its current direction, no matter when that money is spent.

still gets the point across, maybe even more so.

It has nothing to do with athletics specifically and they are still losing out on $$$

Pretty sure the lazy river was voted on by the students and the majority of the cost was covered by an added fee to the tuition bill spanning over multiple years.

ETA: Smalls beat me to it.

Blame the students on that one. Look, I want King and Alleva gone just as bad as anyone else, but let's at least get the facts correct.

That's why I'm running it by the rant. Need the fact-checkers to take a look.

I have to LOL at the idea that Hazing is new as well as death of students from hazing being administrations fault. Also, LSU was drastically lagging behind in rec facilities and considering the inflated cost of school these day, who is anyone to tell them what they’re money should go to?

It isn't, but in today's world, it's MUCH more public, which goes back to our leadership's total incompetence when it comes to public relations.

quote:

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.


quote:

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.


quote:

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.


quote:

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.

Got it. Thanks. Getting the point across was my intent. I'll let y'all check me on it.

Absolutely idiotic to call out any improvement to student life, such as the Rec expansion. Why does that bother you?

If this is put up as a billboard the OP can claim being responsible for the biggest pileup on whatever interstate this is on.
