Yes, and the LSU plan does not. He's contradicting himself.
Re: The (LA Tech/LSUS) Merger Thread II
He's essentially saying Tech can't give Shreveport a strong 4 year research university.
Re: The (LA Tech/LSUS) Merger Thread II
So we have all the LOCAL people supporting the merger, and some guy who "has spent a lot of time in Shreveport-Bossier" --but doesn't live there-- opposing it?
Nice. :icon_roll:

It will be after the opponents have a chance to testify on the bill.
The House meets at 2 PM today, so the meeting will have to end before then.

Exactly, and now Marsala is arguing that the BoR has blocked the expansion of Role & Scope and it's their fault...

Which wouldn't that indirectly support the merger? Get away from the LSU system BoR and into a system that will foster growth.
Re: The (LA Tech/LSUS) Merger Thread II
Now saying study was Anti-Shreveport Anti-LSUS...
Re: The (LA Tech/LSUS) Merger Thread II
Marsala's just doing his job, his arguement is based on how they've been held down, does nothing to address the needs of the city, dwindling budget or enrollment.... He sound's half-hearted...
Re: The (LA Tech/LSUS) Merger Thread II
Marsala is STILL playing the blame game. He doesn't present a single reason why keeping the status quo is better than the merger. He wants LSUS to become a national research university.

Doesn't matter how we got here.........only matters that the area needs a 4-year RESEARCH university, and the state can't afford to put money into a new one. Merging with Tech is best alternative.

Carmody to Jenkins: History is history. Let's move forward. Where is the money to implement the LSU Shreveport committment plan?
