As predicted, here's the LSU takeover of the Hebert Law Center...

FYI, Lawrence Clark is the new LSUS Chancellor.
http://www.lsusystem.edu/index.php/2...rt-chancellor/
Clark was one of the finalist that expressed the desire to worship at the altar of Baton Rouge: "we are not worthy....." Guess that is what the selection committee wanted to hear. Two of the other finalists made the mistake of saying (paraphrasing): LSUS needs to pull itself up by its own bootstraps. tch tch...
That said, Clark may make a good chancellor provided he remembers his "business" background and training.
University presidents should NOT be PhDs but rather MBAs who will run schools like a business. JMHO.
The first LSUS apparel in Purple and Gold will be given out on May 6th! Pilot Priiide!
Wow. Disgusting.
however, the Community Foundation's event "Give for Good" is a great thing for non-profits in the region. Its online and easy to donate for matching funds to many WORTHY groups around the ArkLaTex!!
sad a university has to intermingle with civic clubs, science organizations, and grade schools...

sad may not have been a good word choice. That's not the point. Out of that whole post, that's what you took from it? I just wanted folks to be aware of the event...
the whole thing is set up for community organizations, non-profit, charities,...etc
a state ran university (albeit the foundation) seems like the odd one out. You don't see Centenary, Tech, Southern Shreveport..etc in there
