Correct. The old "2020 Campaign" (I think that was the name of it) called for LA Tech's student enrollment to surpass 15K by the year 2020.Quote:

They mustve put that on hold to fix some of the housing and building situations first… definitely didnt meet that. But at the same time I can’t imagine the space for an extra 3000 unless they were all online enrollment.Quote:

Dr. Guice was asked about this at a tour stop in Baton Rouge in 2015. He went in-depth about it. It all hinged on the merger with LSUS.
I’m curious by what you mean of the infrastructure. What sort of infrastructure does Ruston need? Do you really mean ‘Ruston’ specifically or Ruston as in Tech in Ruston?Quote:

Been that way since well before 2015 and our campus has been completely renovated since 2015. If the "infrastructure" is not there now, there was some HORRIBLE planning.Quote:

Some of the parking lots and empty lots downtown would be better for the city if they had businesses and people located there.Quote:
