    Maybe so, but wouldn't the UL System at least pretend like they are doing a "comprehensive, national search" first before they settled on the pick they really wanted?

    I think the comment was who did the UL BOARD OF TRUSTEES want?
    Louisiana Tech University
    Flagship of the University of Louisiana System

    A state-appointed fiscal administrator perhaps...

    It doesn't appear as if they have the time for that type of search at this point. They'll go through the motions for the next four weeks.

    Outside of the financial issues at Grambling over the past 50 years, the biggest problem on that campus is the fact the stated mission and scope of the university - and corresponding funding from the state - differs from that of its alumni leadership who want a national university with corresponding programs and spending. That's led to a school that maintains underfunded departments and colleges across the board. It doesn't really excel at anything.

    What Dillard's president is advocating - at least some of it - might not be a bad idea. Bring in a highly reputable outside consultant for a year. Come up with a plan and then implement it. Appointing a permanent fiscal administrator from the outside; cutting programs, departments, and perhaps entire colleges may upset the alumni base, but it may bring the school in line with its mission and bring some fiscal sanity to the campus.

    Common sense hasn't prevailed in government since the 50s.

    Since we know we will continue to bail out the mess it would be nice if they would actually try to make them work.

    Well ... I've met a bunch of white people, and liked just less than half of them.

    So yeah, I guess.

    The answer to the thread title is no, but they always think they are. To be under siege also implies that whatever they possess would have some value. So again, no.

    They have economic value to Lincoln Parish.
