RISE: UL Master Plan Vision 2030

Given the current political climate, probably wise to not count on federal grant dollars for DEI initiatives.

So sodexo is capable? Just chooses to tank our services?

Capable of alienating a fan base, sure.

They just started at Texas this year or last.

Give them the same leash that UL has given them and we will see.

A medical school at UL would be ideal for making an impact in filling a national shortage of doctors. The data shows we need more primary care physicians, especially in rural areas. You would hope state leaders would put the health of people ahead of politics.

They will have a very short leash at Texas....and a seat on the top row surrounded by folks who will happily tie off the loose end and throw them over the rail.

Seriously, you walk out of UL with an advanced degree like they're talking about with a big payday job....and then forget to support the school that made it possible...judging from our RCAF numbers, it's happening all the time.

Correct. And judging by the lack of student engagement, why would they? If they weren't engaged while here, why would they suddenly start after they've left. But alas.....we complain too much.

That’s why ULM is a landlord for a private medical school. Had similar discussions here in Lafayette, which included TSAB. Can’t be a threat to their monopoly of the flagship


UL has no intention of being a landlord.

I have a feeling tsab was claiming this money on their R1 tally....

The federal government provides enormous subsidies to the wealthiest universities in the country. During fiscal year 2022, Ivy League universities received $1.8 billion for overhead on government-funded research grants. That represents 84 percent of the total amount of government subsidy those universities received.Feb 16, 2024

Hope UL doesn’t have a grant like this. Talk about bring a figurative microscope to your research.

It is the same, which came first the chicken or egg story. Do we concern our self more with creating better academics leading to athletics or using the athletic funding to increase the overall academic funding. After visiting Texas A&M area for track we should follow whatever they did because they have a surplus of facilities, money and a great athletic atmosphere.
