re: Would you support a 'Don't Send Your Kids To LSU' campaign?

But pressure from LSU, arguably the city's greatest and most important tenant, could seriously swing some major big dick energy on forcing this shite city to finally do something.

One thing LSU can do immediately, start allocating funds to buy up all the property it can around the campus. Tigerland, dumpy apartments, trap houses. EVERYTHING. Tear them all down tomorrow. Play the PR trumpet about the school growing, needs more dorms, needs land for future expansion, (avoids all the bad press from trying to create distance from ghettos) Then just sit on the land. Create a giant green donut buffer zone. Its the cheapest way to do it. You're in at lot value, no construction costs incurred, bad PR avoided, it helps the city, makes the campus prettier and safter. Just gobble, gobble, gobble. Maybe put a telescope on it or some shite if it means you can use a space grant.

In state, send to Tech

In Texas, Baylor is the choice

To the OP…F@ck your own face.
I’m a proud LSU alumni, 2 degrees.
I’d be proud to have any of my children earn a degree from my alma mater.
LSU ain’t the problem. It’s a fine university.
Now if you want to talk about cleaning up BR, that’s a different discussion.

So your plan is to somehow force property owners to sell to LSU, kick a few thousand low income, mostly minority, people out of their homes, and then do nothing with the land? Somehow this won't get any negative PR?

What year did you graduate from LSU? I ask this because overall violent crime in Baton Rouge was way worse in the 80s and 90s than it is now. I said this in a thread similar to this one that was posted a while back and even posted a chart directly from the FBI web site depicting that crime was worse back in those days and people still tried to deny it.

Judging from the graduations I attended this week, the don't send your kids to LSU campaign has already started. Heard Tech a lot more than past years.

Here’s another one scared of big bad Baton Rouge

You'll be amazed how the world is so much better when you find somewhere functional to reside.

I'm very involved in my grandkids college choices. Out of Louisiana urban areas is the first rule.

There has been like a 50% decrease in murders thus far this year. You can say that they don’t care, but things are slowly changing.

Random violence has always spilled over. Was there this much outcry when those grad students WERE killed on campus years ago?

Not excusing things, but let’s deal in reality.
