re: Thoughts on university fees for extra curriculars (Athletics and other wise)

ULM & Grambling should close and merge with LA Tech. Three universities that close together is absurd.

Our state is too small and broke for that shite

The fee is essentially an investment to make the degree more valuable, in my opinion.

Explain how that is the case.

Not too mention it’s a ton more forthright in its intentions then a lot of the other bullshite vague fees universities charge like an academic excellence fee or whatever other shite they come up with.

You assume this fee will be used in the way they proclaim.


Honestly, what will most likely happen, they will likely decrease funding for those entities through normal sources, allowing them to dispense those funds to other useless causes.

I can’t tell you how many times I have people ask me “where?” Or “who?” Or whatever else when I tell them where I went to school. ULM has made great strides in building up the academics of the school the last 10 or so years but i feel like it doesn’t matter if nobody knows about it. Building up the athletics (and other organizations) only gives the university more chances to get its name out.

Eta: In fact, every university in the state has been taking in more money each year than the previous year. They also spend more each year than the previous year. Financials are public

Hush, they want you to believe otherwise.
