No. They got my money when I was there. Zero relationship after leaving.

Not a cent. They can provide for themselves through the artificial and absurd fees and costs they levy now for a sub par public school education.

LSU. If they cut the enormous amount of needless administrative bloat and the focuses on things that have nothing to do with the schools mission or the success of its useful programs, maybe I’d reconsider.

Yes, small private, and will continue to donate as long as they believe that boys have a penis and girls have a vagina

Yes, and it's a tax write-off.

They’d probably get a higher alumni contact rate at glory holes.

Yes and have since I graduated in 1975. If we don’t support our universities the woke will take over. I encourage all LSU alumni to contribute and voice your opinion. If enough rank and file graduates get involved we can make a difference. Geaux Tigers.

You're just paying for them now. They have firmly taken over the American education system. Especially at the college level

I did until I heard they had promoted an a-hole instructor to Chairman of the dept.
We were in class, the bell rang to end the class, and change classes.
He was at the blackboard talking and was repeating himself, over and over.
Another Professor stuck his head in and reminded him the session was over.
He replied, "I know I just enjoy watching them sweat".

That’s a typical loser’s mentality. Too bad. Do you vote?

I donate to the academic and athletic sides. Once you do they call you even more! You’ll love it!

No. I worked for the LSU Foundation while in college, I marked myself deceased the day after I graduated.

Yes. And I did not go to LSU. I donate to the Stephanie Spielman breast cancer research center.

Stand up for something and do your best to make a difference. Most people don’t and that’s why our country is where we are right now. Stop. Look around. Do something positive and stop whining. You can make a difference..

No. They gave me 0 money through out college and every time I applied for financial aid, they literally told me I was too white and too male despite maintaining a 3.8 GPA. My parents didn’t pay a penny of my college but I worked on campus, participated in student life, volunteered, etc.

I went to school with a ton of people that were pot heads with 2.0 GPAs that had full rides because theirs parents were low income pot heads or “diverse.” Nothing wrong with either, but when you’re carrying the dude that’s hungover in group projects and jokes about how it’s all free money you get a little bitter.

Nothing against my university, but they got enough money from a poor 18-23 year old kid.
