Who's this guy saving Fanin's butt?
Fiscal notes are calculated by the Legislative Auditors to show the $$$ impact of proposed bills.
Who's the guy speaking now? He said he's "only been here a year." That's shocking. Must be Jenkins.
Somebody is disputing Marsala's testimony of the BoR blocking new LSUS programs. He said the BoR gave them initial approval, but LSUS never followed through with bringing them back for final approval. Shame on them. He said LSUS can't just apply to be a doctoral university. They have to earn it.
Rep. Edwards says that it's troublesome that Marsala and that guy have irreconcilable contradicting testimonies. He doesn't know what to do.
The guy says that Marsala initially supported the merger, and then 2 weeks later he was vehemently against it.
That was the BoR head I think, basically called out Marsala for supporting this initially and now flipping....
Also, calling out that BoR did not block LSUS but that LSUS hasn't followed through...
Rep. Patricia Smith appears to be really concerned about the costs. She said that the Southern U System didn't know about the amendments.
Who is the lady rep speaking? Picking on the money issue...
