Who gives a flying frick about LSU enrolment? We need this murder solved.
exactly!
The truth is that poor girl happened to be an LSU student, but I believe it could have easily been a nurse, a waitress, bartender, or someone’s wife.
In other words that could have been just about any woman out alone late.

No one is saying that based on this one murder. We are talking about trends.
Baton Rouge is trending in the wrong direction. This is just the latest evidence.

Agreed. And I can't think of one person I know afraid to go out after dark in frickin Baton Rouge lol
I'm certainly not. I've been out in Baton Rouge at night near where this happened very recently. Big deal.
But to deny that there are people who won't or don't is being naive.
People get numb to crime, me included. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be concerned about it.

This is the part that frustrates me about those who come into threads like this to mock others.
We have been so conditioned by our failed leaders to accept mediocrity in every aspect of our lives, that those who voted for this feel the need to let you know that you need to get used to this and worse. And we have accepted it.
To those of you who think the FBI will solve this, you need to pay attention to what the POTUS and his FBI have directly stated is their first priority in the US today. Unless this involves a fake noose or an attempt to promote the "white supremacy" lie, they won't care.

the hysterical posts you and Bjorn are posting about LSU need to stop. It's just not reality. What happened was absolutely tragic, but it's not going to bring down LSU.
You're partially right. Maybe it alone isn't going to bring down LSU. But it's one more domino that will either slow or hasten more dominos. That combined with the fact that this city and it's leadership is trending downward, with nothing done to counter it, I think it will hurt LSU badly in the long run. Just Allie Rice's death isn't going to shut the doors but another death, or another or another; more homicides in the city than ever before. Chana Banks or C. Denise Marcelle as the next mayor; an activist district attorney the likes of a Jason Williams to succeed Hillar Moore, etc.
Where is LSU in a decade? Unscathed? Flourishing?
Their silence right now doesn't bother you? I'm pissed, dude. Because this thread is eventually gonna be unstickied and this case will get cold and everyone is gonna forget what happened. It is very much in LSU's best interest to say something. To do something.

Pretty much.
It isn’t going to kill the school directly but this is a likely tipping point because the mayor and police chief want to deflect blame rather than fight crime.

Things like this can snowball quickly.
God forbid if another LSU student is murdered, then it's national news.
Then what if another is murdered? And in a city setting murder records, this could easily happen.
You think some mom in Ft. Worth isn't going to take notice?

It bothers me that this crime has not yet been solved. As to LSU, I would be surprised if there are not communications with BR leadership concerning student safety, both before and since this horrible tragedy. I don't think that public statements from LSU criticizing BR leadership (Mayor/police) is the way for LSU to go. What statement are you looking from LSU?

More than what they're doing. I think they could announce some kind of task force being joint run between campus police and BRPD. Announcements about working in tandem with city government to solve this crime. Statements about working with city government to make the city safer for all current and future students. Maybe something about being aware of the rise of crime in areas students go off campus and ways to help stop it. It doesn't have to be critical on its face but it needs to show that there's some concern there.

If you don’t think this could affect enrollment, you aren’t reading all the posts on TD, much less FB. And these are parents concerned about their students that have other kids coming up that many are already steering elsewhere. There are other viable schools in state, and LSU is a shell of what it was at one time academically, so changing to Tech or UL or McNeese isn’t viewed as a downgrade like it once was. Anyone insisting that a heinous crime involving a student that’s summarily ignored and dismissed by BR and school “leadership” will have no impact on future enrollment is really out of touch.

My daughter was deciding what college to go to and lsu was a front runner. I told her last week it’s off the list. BR is becoming New Orleans. People can close their eyes to it all they want.

I'm not sure why you are getting down voted, considering a female LSU college student just got randomly murdered close to campus. I don't blame you one bit. If this shite was happening in Tuscaloosa I'd feel the exact same way.
Maybe if they see a drastic drop in enrollment then they'd actually give a shite.

LSU just had a record freshman enrollment. If the crime problem is an issue, it should drop next year. It hasn’t yet.

Well good for LSU. That doesn't change my point at all.

Nope, but we have a benchmark to see if things drop.

This is really well said!

Things aren’t going to get better, they are going to get worse. It’s just a matter of time till some coed walks out of Ivar’s and gets raped. Whoops! That already happened.

We are talking about future potential trends. LSU is getting a huge bump in enrollment and fundraising right now from the 2019 national championship, as most schools do.
We will see if it holds.

Yea Bama is a weird example of that being true.
At LSU The enrollment growth has everything to do with TOPS.
