Prepare for one of Landry’s political donors to get the job.
Not many thing in life are certain, but profiling the next President of the LSU System wont be hard to do.

What exactly has Tate been doing? I’m asking in good faith. I don’t keep up closely

Landry is stupid popular and I don't know why. I think he sucks, although he can redeem himself if he executes on this GATOR thing a bit better and somehow gets dirt moving on the new Baton Rouge bridge project.
If those are the two things you're hoping for I think you're out of luck.
There's no money for the GATOR program unless they raise taxes.
And regarding the bridge, they siphoned money from the bridge fund to pay for Landry's tax plan.

Don’t worry. Rumor is Gov Huey P Landry may soon get his chance to influence the next President of our university too, and that has just as good a chance as being a crony political selection as Tate’s replacement.

Disappointed to hear about him moving on, but he left his position in a better place than he found it in.

Best president LSU has had since Emmert. What a shame.

It’s funny that people call this board racist and extreme right wing, but we now have multiple threads saying how disappointed we are that a black man is leaving an extremely important position within the state while shitting all over the current white republican governor .

Record breaking enrollment and donations for starters.

Horrible take. You obviously weren’t here when Tate was selected as President

For the people losing it and sky screaming at Landry, the average tenure around the country for school presidents is 5-6 years.
Every job is a tryout for another job. You come in, make a name accomplishing something or changing something and you move on to something better or another challenge.
Also, saying you were braking records for donations in the early years of NIL is a little over reaction. Every donation under the table could now be made in the light of day - so relax.

LSU Sets Historic Record for Research Activity at $488 Million LINK
AI provided this one, but enrollment is at record highs

So now Jeff Landry can get one of his hand-picked "You Ell" flunkies to run LSU.

His doctorate thesis gave people a legitimate reason to think he would be a huge SJW mess

Horrible response.
Virtually no one was mad about his race when he was hired. It had to do with the topics he seemed to be interested in researching before he got here. He ended up proving a lot of people wrong, including myself. That says a lot of good things about the character of folks here who have been willing to admit they were wrong.

You do realize that schools cannot contribute to NIL correct? Breaking donations records when athletic donations seemingly should be funneled away from schools to collectives is actually a huge accomplishment.

Yet he wasn't and was head-over-heels better than F'king Alexander. I'm sorry to see him leave.
