IDK what it is, but there must be some chain of decision making. Who made the decision to defer or not enforce ACT scores? Who appointed that person, etc . . . all the way up to Landry.


I knew the fall of 2026 was screwed as offers had gone out before the hires, and the interim was a big holistic guy. 2026 will be Tate’s last FU, but I didn’t expect the new guys to delay required tests on 3.5 GPAs and above for the fall of 2027 or water it down so much by continuing the holistic admissions with ACTs just one of many attributes the leftist professors and other members can ignore for the fall of 2028.

Hopefully with ACT scores an investigation or audit will be triggered especially if scholarships handed out to those with inflated GPAs for the fall 2028 incoming class, but 1 more freshman classes based on Tate’s BS and recruitment push followed by 2 that aren’t going to be that much different will be difficult to overcome.

I still think some of Tate’s endowment success was tied to pushing more scholarships to black students. Thats who he recruited and then scammed the sports fans into believing his rising ACT scores bull shite.

My son graduates high school this month, so I’ve been browsing college admissions social media pages the last 6 months as we’ve researched schools. I can say that the vast majority of out of state parents that were posting about their kids headed to LSU this fall were black.

And likely too many who bring the broken culture with them instead of escaping from it.

They only want to be the flagship university for sports, not academics.

Opposite of the Ivy League schools— they have won a National champion football, baseball or basketball in over 80 years. Ivy League schools put academics first!!! LSU puts academics at the bottom.

I was stunned at the lack of academic scholarships LSU gives. It’s basically TOPS and a few free rides. Whereas the other state schools offer supplements to TOPS I guess they would rather have students “paying” full rides via loans.


The massive rise in free or close to free education for lower class is leading to more and more full pay students if you are middle or upper class. Rising costs are also being used to offset the entitlement/free education for lower class. This is not unique to LSU. It is a major issue that continues to get worse and middle class students are being priced out of good schools as a result,
