Unfortunately it is illegal to not have DIE make work jobs, so I doubt there's much he can do without getting sued
…and hotel managers!
Yeah, I was hoping you might have some idea of what the hell is going on up there ..........................
Yes, Louisiana corruption at its best. Gallo learned the "give me some too" thing with all the China virus money Edwards was spending. Guice did the same.
I had at one time a copy of an article that appeared in the local media in New Orleans. I have since misplaced it. The article was provided by the University of New Orleans touting the economic impact the university had on the local economy. One statistic that I remember was the fact that it took 1 employee for every 9 students then attending UNO. Now, this was a few years ago. That seemed to me to be an incredible inefficient run organization. This is why tuition is so expensive. I wonder what that number is for Tech and the other USL institutions. I wonder if any of the 17 members of the USL Board of Supervisors know what that ratio is for any or all of the member institutions. I wonder if Jim Henderson knows what that number is. They all should.
I recently saw an article on the internet that showed that one of the elite "Poison Ivy" schools had more employees than it had undergraduate students. This may be true for all of them.
Yep, the powers that be were in a panic to replace Guice before the door knob hit John Bel Edwards in the butt on his way out. The governor appoints 16 of the 17 members to the USL Board of Supervisors. The student member is elected by the SGA presidents from each institution for a one year term. The other 16 members are appointed for 6 year terms. It appears to me that because Edwards has been governor for 8 years, all 16 members currently serve at his pleasure. It would be food for thought if we knew what political party each board member and Jim Henderson subscribes to. We know what party Rick Gallot favors.

In the midst of the mess at NSU, Dr. Marcus Jones is president and wouldn't be if not for Jim Henderson. Food for thought.
Fire the whole bunch! Start over.
Perhaps Gov. Jeff Landry will request the resignation of all 16 UL Board of Supervisors and appoint his own board. If the current board feels comfortable suspending the rules at their whim, then he should be able to ask them to resign at his whim.

Long story short, there were almost no faculty left and Guice wouldn't allow any new hires. Nano was already in a bad spot, declining for several years, but lack of institutional support was the nail in the coffin. I would have to check my numbers but I think other ENGR programs were also declining, but losing a few students is not a big deal for CHEM like it is for NANO. Just a very bizarre weekend when we found out, I don't have any official reason to think so but the whole thing smells fishy.
I'm very much out of the loop, but are you saying that the nano technology program that Reneau implemented with great fanfare is gone now? Like Poof!
As of a few months ago, there was one SR and one JR left, if memory serves. The rest transferred majors, but those are being given the option to finish out. Once they're graduated or if they decide to swap, that's poof.
Like so much else, we began with much promise but frittered it away and now it's gone.
Didn’t we build entire buildings for this stuff? Yikes!
Just another massive fail by Reneau/Guice.
DA*N...what a waste.
Yikes indeed. There are still a few small grad programs utilizing the IFM but it's in dire need of repair and grant-holding researchers
