Nice post, I'm guessing this will be the setup for conversations with State Legislators and Community Leaders.

This is the type of stuff that it takes to build towards a long term goal. I like it!

I really hope this includes "how to make a dang presentation." (yes, I know there's Technical Presentations but not everyone takes that and it's only one class)

They mentioned ULM and Grambling along with Tech. I guess they are depending on those two to staff their kitchen and janitorial staffs....

Actually, the lion's share of money, jobs etc. for the IBM deal will go to ULM/monroe. There will also be funds directed to ltu and grambling, but that will only be tangential to main part of the project.
Sorry, but no matter how much you hate ulm, or me for stating it, lol, won't change the facts.
Au revoir, mes amis!

My goodness man, what's wrong with you? Perhaps you didn't read the very first 2 statements of Dr. Guice's blog:

"A good university will use its intellectual and programmatic strengths for the betterment of the institution. A great university uses these assets for the betterment of society."

Why would we hate any institution for positively contributing to our region? The entire PREMISE of your post is absurd. It isn't about who GETS what. It's about how who leads and GIVES BACK.

That's SUPPOSED to be the mission of every university, right? That whole "suckin' on the state teat" mentality is what has gotten all of us into this ridiculous higher education mess we're in.

Can't expect a LaLaff person to understand.

Can't expect a LaLaff person to understand.

...well, when you consider that the Technology and innovation corridor we're discussing here is along I-20, and a random poster from a school 200 miles away comes flying up in here to "set us straight" about what's going on in our own backyard...

reminds me of something Papadawg reminds me of from time to time, "Tis better to sit quietly and be THOUGHT of as foolish, than to open one's mouth (or keyboard) and remove all doubt."

[Champ967]

His sick, sad obsession with Tech is to be pitied. His posts used to annoy me, but now I just feel sorry for him.

geaux's need for continuous attention from Tech fans speaks to the ennui of his sad, lonely life.

[Champ967]

I am not 'obsessed' with any of them

And yet, here you are. Again.

I live a very full life and rich life

All evidence to the contrary.

But I do give you props for using 'ennui.' It is one of my favorite words...

Well yeah, it's francais. One would expect a frog-eater from the baya to know it, cha.

[Champ967]

So, people who post in public web forums don't have a life? Ha.

And I take back my ennui props: I don't eat frogs, I do not live on or near a 'baya' (I am assuming that you mean a bayou), and goodness even knows what you were going for with 'cha', lol.
