    A poor state overfunding too many universities vs population is a set up for failure.
    We need to do something like UT System did with UT-Rio Grande Valley.

    Consolidate N Louisiana Schools - LA Tech, ULM, LSUS into one Louisiana Tech University. The administration of the three schools would be consolidated into Ruston. Shreveport and Monroe would have a dean to oversee day-to-day operations.


    The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) is a state research university with multiple campuses in the Rio Grande Valley region of Texas; founded in 2013, it entered into full operation in 2015 after the consolidation of the University of Texas at Brownsville,the University of Texas–Pan American and the UT Regional Academic Health Center - Harlingen.

    That would be a fantastic consolidation. The Medical and Pharmacy School additions would help the Biomedical ENGR Program at Tech

    You know very well that the LA government would rather burn Shreveport, Monroe, and Grambling to the ground and salt the earth rather than see them consolidated to Tech. The Gulf shore will be in Alexandria before that happens.

    Good luck, fellows. I sat through a lot of the "LSUS/LaTech" consolidation BS talks, and you've never heard such screeching in your life. My feeling is that several "unsavable" 4 year schools need to just go down, then someone can pick up the savable pieces. Otherwise, the surviving entity will be blamed for every "short coming". I've been told by the powers that currently rule that there is a lot of debt associated with several schools that need to be closed and will have to be addressed. My comment was that "you have to start somewhere".

    That is EXACTLY what Dan Reneau tried to do with the Centennial effort back in the day. LSUS' chancellor was on board, so was BPCC, and others. The BoR in Baton Rouge had a "power ego" field day with that, reprimanded Reneau, and it was immediately killed. It was arguably the most intelligent thing Louisiana higher education has ever tried to accomplish, but 'Louisiana politics' always wins vs common sense intelligence.

    OohLaLa would really fight this because it would make Tech the flagship univesity of North Lousiana if not the UofL system. We really ought not try to pitch this unless it's under the Louisiana Tech University name. There is no telling what name the powers that be would force on us and we might lose our Louisiana Tech identity.

    How many additional wins do they predict that investment will net them ?

    Oh, but it's all about recruiting. All of those four star football recruits will just be licking their chops to take a look at that great softball field/stadium

    That's just obnoxious. There's no way to get a decent ROI on a $30M Softball stadium. I don't care if they win 15 national championships in a row in softball, they are still SOFTBALL championships in a non-revenue sport.

    This is what happens when some schools get obnoxiously disproportionate "BCS money" that they simply don't know what to do with it all.

    ROI has nothing to do with it.

    It's all about IX. The totally unconstitutional complete misinterpretation of Title IX.

    Probably scared of a lawsuit after all of the money that was spent to completely rebuild Kyle Field.

    The Medical School in Shreveport has nothing to do with LSUS.
