I would 100% support that

Tell these people to pony up some serious donation money and they can name these buildings whatever they want.

I believe LSU has more Asians on campus than African American students which combined is still less than 5%

Absolutely false.

This is exactly what they did for the new business and engineering buildings.

Let us not forget the Barnes and Noble / Starbucks building.

"better reflect the diverse student population" translates to "only reflect the diverse student population"

The more diverse it is, diverse it gets.

I love how pissed people get over the name of a building. This goes for both sides.

Asian Students: 13.2 percent increase at undergraduate level, 12.1 percent increase at graduate level and 13.1 percent increase overall – makes up 3.5 percent of total student body

African-American Students: 5.8 percent increase at undergraduate level, 5.9 percent increase at graduate level and 5.8 percent increase overall – makes up 11.2 percent of total student body

Parker was Louisiana governor from 1920 to 1924. He participated in and refused to apologize for the 1891 lynching of 11 Sicilian immigrants accused of involvement in the murder of New Orleans Police Chief David C. Hennessy.

I'm sorry but no one should be immortalized or revered after participating in that terrible event. I'm a proud LSU alum and fervent supporter of the university and absolutely support removing Parker's name

Name the building after a WWII war hero and be done with it.
