In fairness, NOLA is home to a lot of private schools as well as a large public medical school.
Tulane
Loyola
Dillard
Just to name a few.
UNO should still absorb Southeastern and SUNO...but it isn't as if New Orleans is short on universities.

Except they are short certain programs- for example Tulane basically killed their engineering program after Katrina.

what the crap is this? NLU is the only other school in LA with a football national championship other than LSU.
How many other pharmacy schools are there? ULM is one of two I believe.

1.2MM people in NOLA metro and no public University.
UNO still has 11,000 students, it's role has been, for years, older students who have already entered the workforce.
Secondly it's only one of FOUR schools in the entire nation with a naval architecture/marine engineering program.
LSU-E and SU-Shreveport are already junior/community colleges, no reason to keep bringing them into the discussion.
ULM is the only public pharmacy school in the state.
A board of education doesn't simply pick up entire colleges and move them to other schools. Thus, merging ULM and Tech. is not likely to happen.
SLU and ULL are jockeying, year-in and year-out for second largest enrollment in the state. Again, when universities are pulling 20,000 +/- on a regular basis, it's hard to justify closing them just because everyone has Huey Long disease...and yes, I got a MLIS from LSU, have followed the Tigers all my life, don't want anything to happen to LSU.
But often this discussion is really an exercise in the "Strong LSU over everyone else" dynamic.

19,188 from what I've seen for 2016.
ETA: 14,594 is what I'm seeing for Southeastern.

I think SLU is trending upwards

With ULM getting a medical school, they're trending up as well. 8800+ this semester. Tech has 12,000+ on their campus. ULM can be just a medschool/pharmacy. Expand Tech to include ULM undergrad.
State needs to continue to incentivize DE classes in high schools and cut elective classes. Students will get out of college faster.

UNO, attendance is below 10,000. Why keep it open?
The highest attendance for 2016
1) LSU
2) ULL
3) Southeastern
4) LA tech
So you have a school in
1) BR
2) Southwest part of the state
3) Southeast part of the state
4) North Louisiana
If you look at the 2016 numbers the rest of the 4yr colleges fall below 10,000. Those are the colleges that need to merge with the larger 4yr schools.

The state can't afford to fund and maintain all of these universities any longer.

La Tech would absorb this program.

FIFY, it sounds good, but in actuality it's not near as prestigious as I've seen many of my Warhawk friends drum it up to be.

Isn't LSU Shreveport a pretty major hub for medical school?

The medical school is separate from LSUS.

Yes. There have been talks for the last decade for LaTech to absorb the school and med school. With that and a ULM-Tech merger North Louisiana would have a flagship University with Aero, Construction, STEM, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Medical programs that would be an excellent compliment to LSU and Louisiana would have at minimum two very well respected Public Universities.

Given that the graduation rate of all of the smaller schools (Southeastern, Nicholls, ULM, La Tech, ULL, etc) is under 50%, and in a few cases under 40%
What percentage of these students actually dropping out of college? I suspect a large number of them are transferring to other schools.

Give Tech the ULM pharmacy program, rename ULL to ULM and rename ULM to ULL.
