University's Top Priority.....

What would possess someone to take a shot at the university they supposed to love and support just because?

It’s one way to correct wayward children. Ridiculous behavior deserves ridicule.

“a company called Deloitte”???? who wrote this?
p.s. why cant the government itself handle who wins bids and gets the contracts? isnt that what govt used to do?

That was pathetic journalism at its finest.

It’s better for an outside firm since any employee that tells dear leader no is banished from the decision making process. But a world wide firm?

Nope, not at all. Just pointing out what is going on at UL. Thought they would talk about how to get scholarships or something along those lines at a honor society meeting, not wokeness!!

Geaux Cajuns!!!

My son had same experience. Seems like UL pushes wokeness to the point of alienation. If you think these things are not worth worrying about, then we will become the UC Berkely of Louisiana.

We may be one of the more woke campuses in LA. My son goes to UL, when he went to orientation, it was from 7:30 to 5 on a Saturday. Most of it was lectures on diversity, equality and LGBTQ. Never even got a campus tour. Had to have a friend go back the next day to show him where his classes were.
Fast forward a year, he gets an invite to join the National Honor Society. Must attend 6 meetings. First one was a lecture on diversity. Second one a lecture on LGBTQ and inclusion. Third one they were told that white men should never be in charge of anything again.
What the hell does this have to do with honor society??

He hates UL and will probably never set foot on campus again once he graduates and I know he's not the only one who thinks like this.
I'm not against any race, gender, etc. Just be happy with yourself and move on, stop with the damn agendas!!
Makes me sad that this is the same school I attended.

I didn't mean to step on anybody's toes with this post, just wanted to share some things going on for those that don't have kids at school yet or anymore.
This is just some examples of what is going on today at schools all over. Combine that with the way I hear students are treated at games and we are chasing off a whole generation of fans!!

Rayne Cajun,
It makes me sad to see the politicization of UL. I love UL and the time i spent there. My Son is also attending, and i am afraid he will take the route of your son. Today, he sent me a text that they were made to watch a how do you identify film!

The only woke class I ever had personally was a sociology course, and I feel like that's a given. Granted I have been out of school for a while, but I feel like honors/Judice was always its own little quirky world.

It makes me sad and angry to hear this!! If I had to guess, this has nothing to do with his major or the class he's taking?? This is definitely not the same USL/UL I attended!! As Robe would say, it's time for people to stand up!

Similar to getting federal money post hurricane. If an entity doesn’t hire a firm specializing in using those funds prepare to hire significant staff to follow the rules. No money till the work is done. If not done within silly govt rules, $$ may go away. Still working with a college on that from 2016. Not UL. And that’s with help. The Feds did there job. Now awaiting stats to complete their paperwork. Very sad. Mostly due to widespread corruption post Katrina in LA and Miss. Rant over.

Dang. I should have skipped over this thread! Depressing and disheartening to say the least. Even if you believe Dr S doesn’t truly support this direction he most likely has to. To do otherwise would negatively impact funding and likely get him fired. It’s happening all over this country. I spent 20 years of active military service and another 20 in USAF civil service. I retired earlier this year as so much of this crap was being forced down our throats! I really feel for our younger generation in general and more so for our military … men and women who serve us and protect our freedom. But their hands are being tied and we spend too much time on this wokeness agenda when we should be training to carry out the mission. Disappointing on so many fronts.
Old man rant …..

How many had to take Americanism vs. Communism during 60s in LA. Taught by poly sci at USL. One hour course. Felt about fifty fifty on which side was more popular. Prof always took opposite side of whoever spoke. I had AFROTC next class so was in uniform. Any position taken anti military, he asked me what I thought. Kind of silly course but prof tried. Another legislative boondoggle
