    More of a Board of Regents decision, yeah?

    Re: Presidential Election 2020

    Sad to see an American President try to convince state lawmakers from giving their electoral college votes to the person that gets the most votes in the state. It is like he thinks this is Russia or something. Just more proof that this man should have never been trusted with the most powerful office in the world.

    Re: Presidential Election 2020

    My roommate was a Petroleum Engineering major, then changed to geology, and ended up working for some oil company for a while. Later he found he liked IT and earned another degree in CIS and is today a VP for some high tech company. Over the years I have met Tech grads who work in the O&G industry and often the topic of Tech dropping PE comes up. Usually people say Tech should have kept the program, even if it was tweaked in some way. I don't know enough about it to offer an opinion...so, anyone?

    I had almost the identical path as your roommate. Back when Haynesville shale was going gangbusters, I reached out to the dean of Engineering at Tech to ask about reconstituting the Geology or PE programs due to all of the O&G activity in the area. He said that Tech was looking to have an "energy engineering" program which would not focus just on fossil fuels, but all types of energy. It sounded great when he pitched it to me, asked if I would be willing to be on a advisory board and I said yes. That was over 10 years ago, and I never heard anything back.

    You are not sad, you are happy about it. You are such a bogus human being.

    I seem to recall that two EC voters in Texas (?) and one in another state voted for Killary even though their states' EC votes should have gone to Trump 100%. Didn't change the outcome...was considered an "understandable protest vote..." or some such nonsense. They were lauded for it, of course, by the Libtards.

    Yes, I recognize that a few malcontents is not the same as entire states not voting the way the popular vote went. But, those three should have been reamed by everyone...not lauded.

    No they didn’t. The faithless electors in TX went to other Republican candidates. None of Trump’s went to Hillary and Hillary lost more faithless electors than Trump (her went mostly to Bernie).

    Re: Presidential Election 2020

    The fact that the President of the US would request officials to not faithfully carry out the vote is inexcusable and a dangerous precedent to start. The Republicans that won’t check him are spineless unprincipled scum that need to get thrown out of office as well.

    Not doubting you, but are you sure? Seems like that was BOR call...Low enrollment, low completion. BOR does something...not sure exactly what.

    I do recall at the time rig count was as low as it’s been since Halliburton’s been keeping count..

    BOR has also been known to play politics to keep the other schools (Not named LSU) "in their place". Example: Mid 80's USL had a very good "Software Engineering" program/degree. In fact in was one of the few in the country at the time, and was getting high praises. I believe the BOR took that program from USL and gave it to LSU. Saying something to the effect of "Thanks for getting this started, but you have taken this as far as you can go. LSU will take it from here".

    Dropping Petroleum Eng. and Geology was really short sighted for Tech’s endowment growth.

    I think Trump should concede right after Stacy Abrams concedes the race for GA governor.
