9/21/22 Update: still nothing from Tate or the official LSU Twitter account.

They do have a second update on hazing, and a HILARIOUS video about the cool dorm CRIBS competition.


9/19/22 Update: still nothing from Tate or the official LSU Twitter account.

They do have an update on hazing.



Nothing from LSU beyond a generic BS press release (that had spelling errors).

While I'm certainly not blaming him - it happened off campus and he's fairly new - he should be furious at the state of the city his students live in.

He should be calling out the city leadership and asking them to do their jobs.

Note: If he has made a comment and I missed it, I apologize. There is nothing on his Twitter account, or the official LSU twitter account. Zero mention of the incident at all.

Tate gains nothing politically by lashing out at the city officials. The risk is backlash from LSU students, parents, and alumni. So people need to make an uproar about this that comes in the form of bad publicity or less donations. Speak up and be loud

Funny how they always "wait on facts" when what happened doesn't help their cause.

Frankly, I don't care what any of them say, this city needs action, and now.

Aside from all the CRT Tate is all about, he’s actually done a decent job up to this point.

New Orleans and BR are spiraling into anarchy. Predictable because our political “leaders” appear to be anarchists too.

Not saying right or wrong, but for context, it took three days for him to release a statement in this incident:

Seems like he just tends not to be quick on releasing statements.

This is so fricking stupid. He doesn't have to comment on the perp, but how about the fact that she is dead from violent crime? How about also discussing the obvious issue of crime against LSU students? How about addressing the students' parents who are on edge? What other facts does he need to do the decent thing other than some bullshite release about being "saddened?"

She was shot and killed. Now he can comment on what he and his admin can do to address the fact that 2 lsu students have been shot during the first month of school.

Exactly. I am a parent of an LSU student. It would be great to see the president be aggressive and bold and at least TRY to accomplish something.

He has a bully pulpit and he should use it.

It takes him a few days at least to figure out how to spin it for his own self aggrandizement.

City officials have no authority or control over Tate. He has no reason to treat them with any kind of reverence.

His only duty is to his students.

That is scary and really bad no matter what the facts are. Then you had the "attempted kidnappings" which apparently weren't, but obviously something bad took place with some creep working for a food delivery service.

It's hilarious to ever see a leftist say "waiting on some facts." This only happens in instances where we actually have enough facts to draw conclusions already, and is never said in situations where it is beneficial to their worldview.

If he's concerned about how things will look "politically," then he wasn't a good choice. Politics is not a concern when it comes to keeping people safe.

Yea, there really are no "facts" that could change anything Tate would say.

A murder of an LSU student happened. Period.

Who did it, what their motives were, etc., don't change that.

There is no reason to wait for more facts.
