Mardi Gras at Cajun Field

[LouisianaB]

So you’re saying the general public has a voice in the UL/LCG land swap, the UL/OLOL purchase, the contracts to renovate the buildings/build buildings on campus, the Cajundome/LCG Agreement, tuition rates, purchase agreements, lease/rental rates, car purchases for the university police,etc?

Not on the front end. The public is a check on government, which UL is. Why do you think FOIA exist?

After the fact doesn’t include a voice in negotiations. So you are in agreement.

Never said they did

[Turbine]

Uh no. It’s not. The problem is that you THINK it’s your business.

I understand what you are saying.

It being their business is being artificially withheld, but it most definitely should be made to feel it is their business.

If the University doesn't figure out a way to make Dan's feel it is their business, "academic" donations will dry up.

Fact: Athletic donors are the biggest academic donors.

If mismanagement is focal, the endowment stagnates.

Huge voice.

The price tag is what the university and the customer agree on. It’s not anyone’s business what that price is, outside of the university and the customer. SOME people on here seem to think the University is valuing their own property too low. So what? It’s none of their business.

Ohhhhhh I don't know about this. The university is a public entity that is funded by the taxpayer. Also in athletics, fans are customers. If I go to a baseball game as a RCAF donor/paid customer and I have to be inconvenienced by an event that is held at the same property that has absolutely nothing to do with the university, AND it's allowed by a bad deal; it is DEFINITELY my business. Basically, you're putting the bad deal ahead of the paying customer.

Lord. You are inconvenienced at a baseball game.

Just because the university is a state university and you are a taxpayer doesn’t make you have a voice in government run agencies. So, you think you have the right to have a say in LCG business dealings, the airport commission, education business, the BVD, Highway dealings, etc? They are all government agencies.

[ULvictory]

Do those dealings actively inconvenience the fan during university sponsored events?

Not saying I should be in the meeting room, but I can definitely say that it's a bad deal.
