Then can someone explain why the RCAF has zero marketing....CLUELESS

Would anybody vote for Mary laundries over Jindal?????

That would be an abstain for me. Jindal is a complete fraud who fooled me once. Landrieu is also. Her latest is failing to pay her taxes again.

She cast the vote that will eventually ruin this country.....the vote to allow the vote on Obama care...

The trend throughout the nation is for more private and less public/government support for our universities.

We are going through that adjustment period, and I hope that our educational leaders are up to the task.

Performance of RCAF and the UL Foundation & Alumni Association are becoming more critical than ever.

Guys, if you want T-Joe to put more money into athletics, he needs more money on the academic side. Our funding is approaching twice Tech's, this is a chance to put them away.

Higher ed is only about 3% of the state budget. It would be very easy for the state to protect higher ed.

Here's a petition you can sign: http://signon.org/sign/support-higher-education.fb23

Fun, I got your phone call last week.. Apologies for not returning it yet. Will do it soon.. Hope the chirrens is good??

I have know problem with athletics funding them self, but the cost of a college education should reflect its value. A college education in Louisiana is dirt cheap compared to other states.

One could question if the cost of a college education is over-priced in other states. Or if there some median between LA's cheap cost and the higher states.

Compare the rising costs of college tuition vs. inflation. Makes absolutely no sense.

Maybe other states should look at why there tuition is so expensive. I know people with out of state degrees from a small local public college comparable to McNeese or Nichols and they are 20k plus in debt. Today's college graduate is starting out life many times under a huge mountain of debt. This is one of the reason's my daughter is going to UL. She will emerge debt free and between what she saves and our contribution hopefully will graduate from grad school debt free also.
