    "The Louisiana Flagship Coalition, which was incorporated this week, plans to hire a team of lobbyists to push a multifaceted agenda designed to give LSU's main campus a different set of rules than other public colleges and universities in the state."

    At least the LSU folks are upfront and honest about it now. I thought LSU had a different set of rules than the rest of Louisiana's universities for years.

    The members of the coalition include the COO/VP of Lamar Advertising, the President & CEO of Gannett Broadcasting, the founder of Cajun Contractors, and the CEO of Roy O. Martin Lumber.

    I wish we started the North Louisiana Flagship Coalition just to piss them off.

    I worked at Roy O Martin Lumber for a few years, and the CEO is Roy O Martin III. I always liked Roy (though he is a little pompous and full of himself), but he is no doubt a huge LSU homer. He is in tight with Jindal and has a lot of political stroke.

    I don't understand why this should only be applied to LSU and not all of the state universities.

    They are talking about saving money, you know Bobby will listen. It sounds like they want to be able to cut through bureaucratec red tape faster. Hell, why dont we just implement this for all schools? Well, at least the ones that can be trusted to be responsible.

    I don't get what you're saying LSU is "at again"

    "The long-term goal is to lift LSU academically while making the school less reliant on state support."


    I dont see how this is a bad thing...

    Just between you and me...it's a bad thing because LSU is doing it. Had Tech come up with the idea, it would be the greatest thing since sliced bread. Like I said, keep that between me and you.

    If it is a good thing, then why can't the other Universities get the same exemptions. Why is this ONLY for LSU?

    This is most of the issue right here. It isn't just that LSU is doing something, it's that they want to be able to do something and to make sure no other school can do it.

    Exactly.

    This is a good thing. It just needs to be available to all state schools to help with budget cuts.

    Re: LSU at it again

    Just another example of a group wanting to insert another layer of separation. I'd say they're insecure.
    Likewise, a Tech-oriented coalition of moves and shakers should be in the chute, ready to come out with a Tech plan.

    Which is fine, but why is it not extended to other schools? There has to be some strategic advantage they are trying to garner by being less reliant on state funding (ie it can get you more state funding, it boosts rankings, it helps you in some way). A reason exists for them to want hold this all to themselves, I just dont know what it is. If it is as simple as helping the state out, then the model should be extended to all public schools.
