Perhaps LSU alums should not contribute until the university provides more balance in how it manages diversity
We are already blocking contributions until F King is gone. They ditched Alleva, which was nice.

Question: Does LSU admit every student that applies and meets the minimum requirements?
In short, yes. But the real answer is much more complicated. In the same way that the GPA and ACT/SAT scores work on a sliding scale (a 4.0 student may be required to have only an 18 on the ACT, while a 3.0 student may require a 23) the scales are different for various races, ethnicities and areas of origin.
The scale for a female student of color is not identical to that of a white male student.
~15% of freshman class is guaranteed for foreign applicants, provided that number applies. Likewise, out of state applicants have a protected segment as well, but it is very small.

Thanks for bringing this up because it made me go look at Mississippi State and they have The Office of Diversity and Inclusion. Which makes no sense as we have the highest percentage of AA students in the SEC.

The office of diversity essentially ensures there are organized activities and interests for students of color.
Are they too stupid to do this on their own? Seriously why is this needed?

It also assists LSU in recruiting/marketing efforts within minority regions/schools
Why is this necessary? Why is there a separate entity who’s only purpose is to reach out to minorities? Does the regular recruiting department leave them out? Nope....

If I knew I could log in and no one would have any way of finding out who I was, I would love to share some stories about "diversity" at LSU and what they REALLY mean by it.

I have no issue with naturally occurring diversity.
Forced diversity is when the shite hits the fan. Because forced diversity always includes lowered standards and majority exclusion.

I don’t know what the problem is. LSU is way more diversified than it used to be.

This is true and across the board LSU is worse off today than it was ten years ago from an academics stand point. In state students with great scoring leave and never return.
But it’s ok, because we got that black kid from Valley Park we had to lower the standards of admission for
give us your money, alumni.

Why? What is the reasoning behind this?
