I totally agree with your statement about their denial. I DO think we should take it, if given the opportunity, though. That is how you save higher education in Louisiana. You merge universities...

I think this has more to do with the new economic status of Louisiana for higher ed.

I do think it would work and save a TON of money by consolidation. No need for a full administration in...

I would think we would. We could close our campus over there and just get rid of all their administration. The budget crisis will end and we can do something with it when things improve -...

Shreveport is really sick..........

And THAT is what so many were missing. This was a great collaboration project between schools in N. Louisiana to build something great for Shreveport and for Tech. Believe me, though, it will come...

Amen!

AMEN! This is a ridiculous situation. I feel for SBC more than any other entity in this situation. GROUND BREAKING NEWS: BPCC is alive and well for those that don't meet admission standards...

I said I was finished with this, because there simply is no argument for not having this merger - but, I had to post again. It is as simple as the below:

LSUS/Tech merger means a Tier One...

Since we both know that BPCC is not going 4 year, what is wrong with an arrangment of 2 years at BPCC and an auto transfer to Tech's Shreveport campus? BPCC is a great feeder school, takes...

It was a merger of the two that took care of both issues. I know you were being sarcastic, but why have a university that serves non-traditional students when BPCC is right next door? Why doesn't...

My whole job depends on merging programs. You wouldn't believe how much administrative costs can be saved by merging. As for the non-traditional student, BPCC can eventually join in the merger as a...

This is true, but the general public needs to be educated, so the faculty can't fool them any longer. As for the students, 4000 isn't enough to get people elected. Keep speaking the truth and...

Have you changed your mind about what would have been the best plan - the merger?

Also, I have already commented on the latest article. It would be great if we could KEEP commenting. Let's...

Idiots........... That is all I have to say....

That is good news. They need to educate the ones that threw such a fit about not having those 3 letters that made them feel a part of something that they are NOT too. Educate the Legistures AND the...

Even worse with LSUS, since they aren't a school trying to change their name. They, actually, think they are an extension of another campus. They don't understand the difference between the system...

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...

This has nothing to do with Republican or Democrat. Some are trying to make it that, but it is not. I don't defend ignorance. We may have a different opinion on our politics and we can take it...

The ignorance or people playing off of other's ignorance continues to astound me.

True.....

It's a private for profit college. Nothing too much to worry about, except the perception by the everyday person reading about it.

Exactly! And that is why it is SO important for everyone on here in Louisiana to contact their rep and let them know how to get your vote next time and how not to get your vote. They need to know...

Tech posted a "contact your legislatures" on Facebook today. As soon as it appeared, someone wrote "so they would be the Tiger-Dogs?". The ignorance of this is TOTALLY blowing my mind. I...

He just rambled to me. He convenienty dismisses the study that was done, how LSUS is totally underfunded and the lsu system is not and has not done anything about it, that UNO had to leave the...

Better than that, the entire Shreveport Chamber of Commerce, Mayor, and D.R. need to make the phone calls to both.
