assure you that we maintain significant resources to ensure public safety. On game day, we typically have 600 trained on-duty police officers representing LSU Police, local law enforcement, and state agencies to safeguard our community. We take full advantage of advanced technologies, including license plate readers, camera networks, and upgraded lighting, which allows for real-time, campus-wide monitoring and rapid response. Our law enforcement presence is fully coordinated. If individuals commit crime on our campus, they will be arrested, and we will work diligently to ensure conviction.
I feel safer already

That goes back to over acceptance. LSU infrastructure is not built to handle 40K + students. Students having to vacate campus after their freshman year is a huge problem. No sense of community or structure. It creates pockets of undesirable individuals all around the edges of campus. I was there in the 90’s when LSU was right around 25K. Students could stay in campus and build a sense of ownership. Not any more. It’s a cattle call of turn and burn as many mouth breathers they can push through the doors and they bring the hangers on with them on the weekends.

It’s not a proximity issue or a housing issue. We have gangs coming on campus to take in the sights of tailgating and bringing their problems with them.

“It happened in front of thousands of people near the ROTC building on South Stadium Drive. Arrest documents show an LSU police officer heard a “loud pop”
Just pulled a few comments from recent article of guy shooting himself… .. just a fun fact.. do you know which building is pretty much next to the rotc building…
Campus police .. office.. cars etc..
Just found it ironic ..

Having too many apartment complexes catering to Section 8 means there are too few students.

I was there in the early 00s when Tigerland and Sharlo were still dominated by students.
I was also there through 2008 and saw what the post-GO Zone development did, which is what led to Tigerland and Sharlo going completely ghetto.
Per that other guy's thread, the "new" complexes north of LSU are already Section 8.

And there isn't much that can be done to stop them preemptively. That's the problem (and I imagine they know it).
The best you could do is crack down on weed, which is only going to do so much (especially with how many non-thug students smoke weed these days).

Crack down on individual rights and profile. That’s what they should do.

No. It means there are too many complexes. LSU created this need. Back in the day when LSU could handle its enrollment the vast majority of upperclassmen that didn’t live on campus lived in Tigerland and kept it student centric. Tigerland went section 8 when all these newer more modern places startups popping up when LSU started forcing kids off campus. LSU taking that government teet money and letting in anybody that could get a student loan created this.

The Venue is not section 8 and is probably the safest complex close to campus. We set my daughter up there after she was forced off campus after her Freshman year. Lord knows we paid for that safety.

Do like some places do open container. Smoke weed all you want in your residence but not out in public.

How damned tone def can he be? "Bad things on campus - let me assure you we're still doing what we were doing when those things happened." How pathetic.

LSU did this to themselves and now the chickens are coming home to roost. Embrace and promote ghetto, don’t be surprised when your campus turns ghetto.

No. LSU forcing freshmen to live on campus created a vacuum. Then Burbank and Riveroad developments came along. Then you have those two shitlord land lords in Tigerland.

You open campus back up to tailgate where you want and the problem will take care of itself.
Those neighborhoods will never be cleaned up. It wasn't a problem until LSU got greedy and forced everything South.
There is another underlying problem with enrolment standards.

I know. I was there during the change.

Due to the post-Katrina Go Zone. Then it became culturally endemic with the student population.
Then developers overbuilt, and the ones that didn't fill went/are going Section 8

That would fill the excess capacity of these complexes.
Developers built too many of them. That's not due to LSU.

How?
You think these thugs are starting tailgates?

They were ghetto 25 years ago when I was in undergrad. It's not a new development. It's the OTHER stuff going ghetto that's causing issues.

What does that have to do with non-student thugs going on campus on game day?

It is directly related to LSU artificially inflating the student population with people that should have never been on campus.
Posted on 10/13/25 at 6:31 pm to BOSCEAUX
However inflated you want to call LSU's student population, there still aren't enough students to fill the over-development.
Developers built too many units EVEN considering your stance that the population is inflated. The purported inflation is therefore irrelevant in response to my statement.
You think that the problem would be better if LSU's student population went back to 25k? I think it would be unimaginatively worse.
