    Note to all students considering Southern University: You may or may not get a degree, but dammit, you'll get an opportunity!

    I, for one, am glad I graduated from a university where one has both opportunity and a president who emphasizes graduation rate as an important benchmark for the success of the university.

    I get tired of hearing this excuse. My family (mom, dad, grandmother) came over here with more disadvantages...they didn't know the American culture and language. With only $200, they started a new life in south Arkansas. Ignorant about things like government aid (welfare), they got by without any assistance. My mom and dad just worked hard and saved.

    They raised 3 kids and all of us graduated college.

    Re: Jindal: UNO and Southern University should consider merger

    That has to be one of the most ignorant statements I have ever read by a public official. Any taxpayer that sees that nonsense should be pissed. Your job isnt to graduate people? Wow. I can understand giving African Americans an opportunity was part of their mission how many ever years ago, but graduating them should have also been part of that goal. Now that African Americans get a chance at all state schools in LA, it is time you guys get up to speed and be held to the same standards as everyone else. If you cant cut it, then it is time to look at other options (mergers, shutdowns, etc.).

    I would ask him how much better of an opportunity SUNO would provide if these people could actually graduate.

    I just watched that video. If that meeting is any indication, there's really not much grass roots support opposing the SUNO-UNO merger. Jindal needs to go ahead and do this as soon as possible, before he gives it enough time to bake into something more grand. DO IT NOW! Because right now, I really don't think more than a handful of loud voices even care.

    New Orleans NAACP Opposes UNO-SUNO Merger
    http://www.nola.com/politics/index.s...oses_suno.html

    Opposition to combining the state-run schools is an about-face from the policy that the New Orleans branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People took 42 years ago, saying then that it was "unalterably opposed to segregated public education."

    SUNO holds almost $96 million in unspent hurricane-recovery money
    http://www.nola.com/politics/index.s...million_i.html

    As of late January, FEMA had obligated $124 million for recovery projects at SUNO to compensate the campus for storm-related damage incurred in 2005. But only $28.2 million of that has been spent so far. Although some of the unspent money is supposed to pay for temporary facilities and damaged equipment, most of it, $71.4 million, is targeted for new construction and rebuilding damaged facilities.

    A university where nobody has to graduate....An automobile company where the cars do not have to start.... An airline where planes do not have to fly....A hospital where patients do not have to be cured..... Opportunity is truly a great thing!!!!
