Shreveport Times: Lombardi: Move Tech into the LSU system

I changed some of the paper's writing to better reflect what Lombardi really means.

1. The Southern University System would be merged into the University of Louisiana System.

2. Louisiana Tech, UL Lafayette, and UNO would move from the UL System to the LSU System.

Rep. Joe Harrison (R-51st District) has filed House Bill 927. This bill would move LA Tech, UL-Lafayette, and UNO from the UL System to the LSU System. It also moves Southern (BR), SUNO, and SUSLA to...

John Maginnis: Higher Ed Issues on Spring Break

Sorry about that. I was using the figure from the LSU-Shreveport Foundation report.

From a quick scan of these reports, I didn't find any red flags like there are for Grambling or ULM. I guess the one good thing about the LSU System not allowing LSU-Shreveport to expand recently is...

Here is the link to House Bill 964 (by Rep. Fannin and Sen. Walsworth) that provides for the merger of Louisiana Tech and LSU-Shreveport.

Just like it was a coincidence when the LSU-BR Chancellor Michael Martin was the keynote speaker at Tech's Spring Commencement last year. Then news broke about the possibility of Tech joining the LSU...

My bad. I thought editorials and op-eds were one and the same. I learned something new today.

My overall point still stands, though. I figured the News-Star editorial on the merger would read...

I'm kinda surprised that the News-Star op-ed was so positive and supportive of the merger. You know that first sentence had to cause some pain along some of the ULM people.

I meant the vast majority of people in Shreveport-Bossier City who never attended any of the games. I wasn't a season ticket holder of the Mudbugs, but I went to about 10-15 of the home games the...

The people in Shreveport-Bossier City didn't care too much when the city's Arena Football team moved to New Orleans and the league champion Mudbugs hockey team shut down operations last year. Why...

Actually, according to figures from pages 22-25 of the Louisiana Tech University Basic Fact Book (2004-2008), between 22.47% to 23.68% of LA Tech's undergrad enrollment came from the...

I agree that the Southern University System should go away. SUNO should merge with UNO, SUSLA should merge with BPCC, and Southern University (Baton Rouge) should be moved into the UL System like...
