There are eight state run hospitals that you would read about in the newspaper having closed before anyone even mentions the idea of shaving pennies at either hospital associated with the med schools.Quote:

They lsusystem is playing scare tactics that it might have to close LSUHSC-S due to budget, but I really feel the 3 "satellite" campuses would be shuttered before any med schools...
That is correct. There is certainly a chance that LSUHSC-Shreve could close down, but that would only be after LSUS, LSUA, and LSUE shut down. In other words, not much of a chance.Quote:

The professional schools are each part of separate institutions.
That makes a lot of sense. I knew that politics were behind this somehow. The LSU-Xs are trying to fear monger into not getting as many cuts, but it's really sad they do it at the expense of students who actually believe their emails.Quote:

Most legislators were unfamiliar with the issues so they looked to those from the area for guidance. As we know, some from this area were opposed to the loss of the 3 letters - l, s, and u - and this is why the merger would not have gathered 70 votes.
We need to continue e-mailing ALL Louisiana legislators with the good news about TECH. Perhaps the Elite Report information about academics should be sent to all.
What does the average Shreveport/Bossier person think of LSUS and Louisiana Tech?
Until this merger debate, I never realized how much disdain/hatred for Louisiana Tech existed in Shreveport/Bossier. I know it's not the majority, but most of the people that were so vocal opposing the merger considered Tech to be an inferior institution which it is clearly not. It's like nobody gives a rats ass that the LSU System has neglected LSUS for 40+ years but as soon as your start talking Tech merger these people become all loyal and patriotic towards LSUS. If the suggestion had been to merge LSU A&M and LSUS, lots of men would be walking around the SBC with chubbies bulging out of their pants. Reeves Marine would probably print up 15,000 merger t-shirts.Quote:

But why waste my time since he doesn't have a clue. If he did respond it would be some dribble about Barksdale AFB and Moonbot studios that has absolutely no relevance.
The average "Shreveporter" grew up wearing LSU clothes. They grew up watching LSU play on Saturdays, whether in person or not, they are brought up to believe that LSU is the only university in the state. It's because of the window-dressing that having a successful major college athletic program provides. Most of their biggest fans have never stepped foot in a classroom at LSU and yet they give thousands of dollars every year. Just think about the number of Tech Alumni that give LSU money.Quote:

Apparently that sentiment also exists in Alexandria.Quote:

This means that we need a MASSIVE education effort in the Shreveport area about Louisiana Tech and our standing. Yes, there will always be those that want those 3 letters and will play on that falacy, but we can stop the ignorance of those that follow them.
A massive effort? Yeah boy, DR will be all over that! First words out of his mouth - "we don't have any money for that." Translated, that means "I'm in my 70's and that's too much work. Heck, that's too much work if I was 50!),Quote:
