LSU administration meeting soon and will have decision by 5:00 apparently. It's a big decision to make with finals, but are exams really worth risking the lives of their students?

Why not meet now, have a plan and make the call to cancel in the morning? Why cancel the night before when all it is raining now? Would be wise to assess the situation in the morning.

Its a joke the EBR already cancelled. Why not wait to see how it is then make a call. Parents (like all up north) will have to adjust and make arrangements but such is life.

Naw baw, that ain't fair. I literally couldn't make it out of my neighborhood and was terrified I was going to fail since they never would cancel classes. This was my senior year, so I was very relieved when I finally got an email back from my professor allowing me to reschedule.

I’m in law school.

Well, yeah, but I didn't know I had nothing to worry about for a few hours!

Not at LSU it doesn’t. LSU knows it doesn’t have the reputation for being the best or the most prestigious, but they take pride in zero grade inflation and shoving students through a f$&king meat grinder for 3 years. It’s probably the most rigorous school in the country. The hours requirements plus the fact that hours at the law school are an actual hour and now 50 minutes means that an LSU law student spends the equivalent of an extra year in class time compared to every other school in the nation.

So yes, law school finals prep sucks balls (and this is coming from a former engineering grad), and I really just want to graduate this spring so I can no longer be financially destitute and have Thanksgiving and Easter back.

Growing up I probably had 25-30 snow days and all but one were cancelled that morning usually around 5:30-6am. Parents adjusted fine and made arrangements. I understand cancelling ahead for a major imminent hurricane. But cancelling because it might be a little chilly and a snowflake might be visible?

If the buses cant run they have to cancel school. They determined the buses wont be able to run no matter what

LSU usually follows what the government offices do. Will be interesting.

When buses couldn't run, they waived tardy slips for the day and allowed a two hr time to get to school with no penalty.
