There is neither rhyme nor reason for this merger based upon any sort of logic, and the legislatures who presented the bills in the House and Senate certainly haven't presented a clue as to why they wish to go against the advice and wishes of almost everyone involved, from the Regents to the Faculty, Students and Alumni of LSUS. As stated on the opinions page of today's "Times", as a University, LaTech is behind in almost every collegiate standing when compared to LSUS. They should have added: Except football.
Yes, this makes no sense. "LaTech is behind in almost every collegiate standing"???
How are we behind in "almost every collegiate standing"? What does that even mean? Obviously this guy knows NOTHING about Louisiana Tech.
And he knows nothing about LSUS. He's in the same crowd that thinks LSUS is LSU.Quote:

There is going to be minimal funding for LSUS going forward if they do not merge. The money for LSU to support these remote campuses is not there. You would have to be a complete moron to not think that LSUS would be better off as part of LA Tech.

The Times-Picayune editorial this morning is a piece in SUPPORT of the merger. I couldn't find it on nola.com, but it is in this mornings paper. It appeared the website may not have today's editorials up yet, everything still looked like yesterday's. I'll look later to see if it is linked.

The bill is scheduled to be debated by the House on May 15th.Quote:
