It’s been my primary personal email address for last 18 years. I got word a few months back that this might be happening, so I’ve slowly started transitioning to another email.

The amount of spam and phishing attempts that have passed through their filters in the last year or so has been a pain to deal with

This was the only reason stated in the email


I would trust LSU before gmail and other corporate toadies.

If you are an LSU alum and want to complain (or if you believe that LSU's decision to terminate its Alumnis' email addresses is miserly, mean-spirited, and just plain wrong), you should call or write to the people who can stop this: Your Elected Representatives who decide how Your Tax Dollars are used to Fund LSU. The links below provide contact forms and phone numbers:

Louisiana State Representatives: LINK

Louisiana State Senators: LINK

Governor Landry: LINK

If you want to write but do not have time to formulate a letter, you can quote from and cite the text from a letter to the editor published in the Baton Rouge Advocate, April 15, 2026: LINK

Damn that's pretentious. Shut up and go get yourself a gmail and start a substack. If you're as notable as you claim to be in the academic world, people will be able to find you.

Bonus points on the AI fear mongering.

Have they not considered attaching to chicken's servers. Any alum worth his salt pays for TD premium... it just seems logical

Endless horse s***. How much do they take in every year from the endowment and athletics? Over a billion and hundreds of millions.

Yet they can't afford an email system for the alumni.

Cheapskates. They just don't want to anymore.
