Warning: more name stuff

[ULvictory]

FYI,
U L already has national respect in Computer science(top50), nursing(top10)architecture(top10), Moody Shcool of Business(top300) and the Masters program in Biology is tops in La. Notwithstanding, a tier two academic standing, which according to SREB is the same as Ole Miss, Miss state, and Alabama.
Very good for an underfunded University!

_ UL will never be an officially recognized title. The fact of the matter is LSU has been granted Flagship status and unfortunately, at some point in history, LSU's education system decided to move forth by going backwards. To my knowledge, every other state aside from Ohio attaches the University system as the flagship, and the State university system as the second tier.

Even if you can find it in you to put aside the rage, if UL's successful, it's going to create chaos. UL will immediately get the prestige boost from prospective students from the rest of the country simply because it's the "University of" that's great, for Lafayette, but immediately undermines LSU's perception...for a school that's already in the 3rd tier of USNWR rankings. The the fallout begins to claim casualties. ULM, and the scores of public universities throughout the state, wants to gets some too.

This is where armageddon arrives. I've never heard anyone say there aren't enough public colleges in LA, and there a valid discourse whether many are needed, and and the further argument that closing many of them and putting the money towards the primaries.

...

!) "Never" is a looong time.

2) I 've never understood that argument. You mean that after about 150 years, LSU's "perception" could be changed overnight by our change of name? Cool! No wonder the paper tigers are afraid!

3) Wow! Armageddon in our time! It probably needs to happen sooner or later.


Like your pictures though!
