It is. And being in Louisiana, that stipulation will last all of 10 years max after he is gone. Ruston doesn't seem to have the political support to get what is necessary done (closing of ULM/GSU, increase/keep funding), so there is little to make me think they will have the power to keep Tech in Ruston if Shreveport were to start as equals, but then see enrollment and support increase in ways Ruston has yet to dream.
I think you're incorrect, it's not Tech's job to leverage political resources to close ULM/GSU, that's a risky and counterproductive endeavor, and Tech has increased funding through supporting and pushing for the performance based funding formulas.

Tech moving to Shreveport is an asinine statement mainly for the fact that the state would have to do two things it (and tax payers) loathe, walk away from already owned buildings, land, and infrastructure in Ruston and purchase additional land/buildings in Shreveport.

I know the study focuses on growing Shreveport's educational capacity but don't be fooled the only way it happens is if it can also reduce costs to the state/systems...
