UL acquires Pecan Island High school

[Cajunrunner]

Damn…it wasn’t that “Long Ago”. 1995-2000 they were great.

I got some bad news for you, baw…

Interesting acquisition and stated purpose in light of the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion Project being canned.

Is this going to catch some of those BP settlement funds? All seems like a big waste now after politicians essentially claimed seafood industry is more important than the coast.

Good point. You think this strategy for UL is good conduit for rolling up more research dollars/grants? When considering the public access to State assets in close proximity to the Pecan Island location such as White Lake, Vermilion Bay, Rockefeller, Lacassine, Paul Rainey Refuge, Marsh Island, Freshwater Bayou and the Gulf itself this excellent area to stage research. Don't know their scope or mission for Pecan Island, will be interesting to learn more.

Savoie's last move?

It was announced a couple months back. Probably not. Nice donation for Louisiana.

I wonder how much acreage the high school occupies.

This gives us another research center in another parish. This means we now have research centers in Acadia, Vermilion, Iberia, St Martin, and of course, Lafayette.

LUMCON. We founded it, with the idea that all the universities would share it.

We played our hand badly, and it is largely under LSU's control now. We still get to use it some.

According to the Advocate article about 5 acres.

I wonder if coach White could use the basketball court for a practice getaway retreat?
