[ActiveRider]

i have a couple of transfer students in my classes.
BIG PROP to UL. UL is giving the transfer students their books for free, at least the students i talked to got their books for free.
i felt like a proud papa watch my son do something great!

Big props to LSU as well, along with the Texas A&M system (minimum tuition at TAMU-Galveston) and other schools in Texas as well.

This is just another sign of "TRUE AMERICANS" in action!! We are a loving community, state and nation and this traggedy will just make us stronger. He who stuggles together becomes true brothers for life!

It is great to see finally so many of our armed forces getting into NEW ORLEANS!! They will adapt and overcome, as is the moto of the armed forces!!!

I heard 750, but the number will possible go over 1000 by mid-semester...I hear we will be hosting some New Orleans-based teachers to teach summer-style short classes during the second half of the semester.

I called the registrar, yesterday and he said they feel the number would be over 500 and they were not yet finished counting and their office has been VERY busy!!!!!!!!

BATON ROUGE "" University officials say they are not surprised by the almost 7 percent drop in enrollment this fall for several reasons, not the least of which is that thousands of students were evacuated when hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the state last year. But even without the storms, some decrease was expected, said Sally Clausen, president of the University of Louisiana System. "We're all toughening up on standards," Clausen said of stricter entry requirements being enforced at all institutions. The rest of the story By Mike Hasten mhasten@gannett.com

"Savoie said the Board of Regents will continue to analyze enrollment data "to design effective strategies to rebuild our enrollment base. Increasing the number of people in our state with a college credential is crucial to Louisiana's long-term recovery."

The best way to build your enrollment base is to create a smarter Freshman. If you have more incoming Freshmen who don't need the "stop-over" in the community colleges, then that will help in increasing enrollment. Creating such a wave of smarter college freshmen has to be started at the High School Freshman level.

How we can put more money into our educational system, that is a good question. I think that it would be more than just raising or redirecting tax dollars. I think a good start would be to rid the state of the corruption and the "ol-boy system". But a victory in that war would be unlikely.

Whatever the problems are in the state, they are most likely LSU's fault, for sure. HAHA
