RISE: UL Master Plan Vision 2030

[R1Letterman]

Well it's worth it because you get to go to Texas games...

Not necessarily. At very few schools, esp p4, do nearly all students have a chance to go to any game they want, esp for free

2030 Goals:
$300M in Research Funding
450 Post-Docs & Non-Faculty Researchers
150 Doctoral Graduates
Top 100 Research University

As I have noted, UL believes we will make 100 doctoral graduates by 2028, which will make us SREB1, with a large increase in state funding.

We are in the process of adding several doctoral programs to support us in this. Some of the doctoral programs already have masters degree students on a waiting list.

And, I believe, $500 M in Endowment.

It has also hurt many universities.

One of the reasons we have passed LSU in research funding, is that they value athletics over academics.

And that, '71, is why I made the impolite comment. Apologies.

I love athletics. I love UL. But if I believed we could continue to build our university without athletics, I would be happy to drop to Div III.

That's where CalTech & MIT are. But they aren't public universities, and we have a different mission than they do.

Why can't we have both like Big 10 schools? Except for Northwestern and USC, all are public universities. Why not model those schools instead of SEC schools like LSU who seem to value athletics over academics? Then again, there are SEC schools that are also AAU universities like Texas, Texas A&M, Florida and Missouri.

What does it cost in Texas?

What does it cost in Taxes?

Any movement for a Med School? Or is it just not going to happen?

Never happening unless legislation happens.

We are in the process of designing and building a 4 story simulation lab on the Health Sciences Campus.

From 2018 to 2021: cajuns had same or better home football record than texas, and an overall record that was 11 wins better *and 5 more wins than UkneauxWho..despite their so called record season.***

Our governor is a UL alum and a Loyola law grad. Didn't attend LSU. Given our R1 status and connections with the governor, why not pursue it?

Yep. Now is the time to make a move.

Of those 4, only florida achieved that status while IN the S-E-C, aTm and Bama have had some of the largest drops in US news and world reports academic rankings as their football teams rose
