I'm surprised they didn't at least try to tighten up the requirements first.

that would be discriminatory and/or racist and black groups would file suit

they'd rather have no TOPS than a tougher TOPS

and this is just your typical government fear mongering. rattling the cages to protect their government handouts

I would have had to drop out if that happened when I was at LSU. Holy shite.

^Their plan is working


Remember guys, Alexander and Co are the clowns who are responsible for the Miles debacle, as well as another fiasco involving lying about bankruptcy during a bond offering.

This is all just a game.

Until the state constitution is amended, which no one seems in any hurry to do, there's not much else that can be done.

With that said, any non-minority is now really fricked when it comes to obtaining any sort of financial aid.


That isn't exactly true. Elite students can get aid regardless of their race.

The 24 ACT folks are screwed though.

“In other words, if nothing changes, TOPS awardees will owe tuition to their schools for the current semester,” said Ashley Arceneaux, an aide to LSU President F. King Alexander.


That's insane.

Really blows for the students who use this and need it to get their degree. I'm really ashamed of the direction things seem to be going.

this really sucks for the top-shelf students who would have scholarships regardless of TOPS if TOPS wasn't so popular

No, you numbskull. But electing Vitter would mean not electing the idiotic socialist Democrat we have now. So there's that.
