There's an article in the Lafayette Daily Advertiser www.acadiananow.com that talks about their search search to replace their president Dr. Authemant.

The main point they make is salary and compensation. They do point out that even though the ULL president has the highest salary in the system Dr. Reneau actually is the best compensated due to his pension from the Foundation.

Now I do like Dr. Reneau (even though I too had wish he would have been more behind Athletics in the past). I think in terms of recognition we are the more respected academically. But it will be interesting to see if they try to lure in a new President with the highest salary in the system to try to once again buy recognition.

I grew up in Lafayette so I am very familiar with their "struggle" for recognition. They already tried to do it with their name. I now wonder if they will try to put pressure on Sally Clausen to buy a (diamond ring) president.
