re: The "Bama Advocate"

To be fair, the last one-third of the article explains how LSU is better than Alabama academically, especially in salaries to graduates, research and diversity and more curriculum choices (Alabama is more of a liberal arts school; while LSU is liberal arts, technology, engineering, and veterinary medicine).
Some of the areas we need to improve are attracting more nationally prestigious students than we already do, lowering student-teacher ratio, infrastructure (and we are building a lot on campus), increasing employee morale and salaries, and retention.

Why be upset at a newspaper if it indeed is posting actual facts. LSU is the one that needs to step their game up.

Very true,and he is running for the Senate next.

What I took away from the article:
LSU tuition is lower than Bama
LSU spends 3x more on research
LSU grads make more $ than Bama
Sounds like a win for LSU

Man I just saw that.
Writing that article any week is a little weird/bamabsessed. Writing it this week is downright inappropriate, and I mean that.
How would the advocate feel is lsu's journalism school offered a class entitled "why the Arkansas Democrat is a much better paper"?

our enrollment has dropped 2k since Saban left

Jindal reduced LSU to 1980 levels. stelly tax act allowed LSU to grow by leaps and bounds. Jindal imposed the largest budget cuts in the country on higher education and also removed the stelly tax. Faculty and staff left in droves.
As a result athletics had to step in and give 7m/yr to academics plus pay for much more

Yet we now have a surplus.
He is doing a better job than any of the idiots in DC

If they were going to compare us, it should have been to Texas A&M. I wouldn't let my worst enemy go to UA-T. Crappy school at best.

You think he's doing a good job?
Part of that surplus comes at the expense of higher education. It's not like he pulled the money out of thin air.

My son just left to return to Alabama after fall break. I have been on that campus more than I ever wanted to these last two years. It is fabulous. Anybody who thinks that LSU is keeping up is fooling themselves. And I say that as somebody who has 2 degrees from LSU and loves it to the core.
Alabama really only competes with Auburn for money. LSU competes with a bunch of 4-year directional schools that should not even exist.

Bingo!
Instead of slashing LSU's budget to ribbons, why doesn't Jindal shut down some of these schools that are sucking up money?

Bama has financed their so-called advancement by shutting out in students in favor of out of state students who can be charged more than double what an instate pays.

Well, they gave my kid a full ride, and he is from out of state.

LOL.
800 million in cuts just to higher education. Doesn't even count the cuts to health care. There's your surplus.
But let's not let the facts turn this into a poll board thread. The Advocate's article on the front page comparing us to UA is weird at best coming on this week in particular, and the day after Michael Harris' RTR love-fest.

I see we have a bunch of LSU young college student democratic loving liberals in this thread

Jindal has slashed and burned his way to a surplus. LSU gets no money for sports but did you know your hard earned taxes are going to fund sports at ULL and LaTech? Faculty at BRCC have not had a raise in almost 7 years and that is where all of the folks we will need to keep the industrial wave highlighted in another Advocate story are going to learn process technology. The slacker reporter did not give us how much funding each institution gets from state coffers. LSU is probably around 40% or less. At what point does it stop being a state institution?
