Has the below been posted here yet? Interesting stuff:

Over the last few months, Gov. Jindal has developed something of an alliance with “The Flagship Coalition,” an influential group of business leaders and others among LSU’s alumni, who seek more freedom for the main campus, and are willing give up the extension campuses in exchange. Lombardi has opposed the idea, but, as vouchers and public employee retirement reforms passed the legislature three weeks ago, the higher education panels in both the House and the Senate began to explore it.

Interesting possibilites. I certainly can agree with a lot of the ideas articulated in the article, and apparently supported by the Coalition. Selling the Charities to Oschner and other privates should be the first, slam dunk! move. But, this is Louisiana, and such moves make too much sense. Politics will interfere. Such as the proposal to merge UNO and SUNO made the most sense, but was crushed by politics.
