Larry Clark Takes Over as LSU-Shreveport Chancellor

[TechAlum05]

Since March, Clark has worked behind the scenes to fill a projected $2 million budget gap at LSUS while wrapping up responsibilities in North Carolina.

He cut positions, including some faculty jobs, to save an estimated $475,000 before the 2014-15 budget year started today. A $1.5 million, long-term loan from the LSU system will plug the rest of the budget gap so LSUS doesn’t have to dip into money earmarked for scholarships and student assistance.

“The administrative leadership team has been superb. There are no dollars just sitting around to be cut,” Clark said. “I met with the Noel Foundation, and they provided $100,000 for the first year of interested on the loan from the LSU System. It is a loan, and we do have to repay it.”

“We really need to increase the number of students by 1,500,” he said. “In the short term, even 100 students -- 75 full-time and 25 part-time -- would have an impact.”

The school also officially changed its colors to purple and gold yesterday to reflect the colors of the mothership.

It looks like things are just dandy for those LSUS professors who fought against the merger.

I wonder how many LSUS kids think they are attending "LSU".

I'd like to see each "University of Louisiana @..." standardize brands.

Isn't this the same deal we just made with BPCC?

How many graduates of LSUS already say they graduated from LSU? It's only going to get worse now.

It would help if some of you would get your head out of the sand. You act like unless Tech does it, it's not done. Here's a 411 for ya, NSU established such a relationship with BPCC and then Tech copied NSU. Actually, NSU has articulation agreements with all the community colleges in the state and with LSU-E since it is still a 2-year school.

LSUS had a working agreement with BPCC for years. But this is now copying the NSU model as well.

That's what Dee-Wayne says 'bout himself.
