Academic news from this morning

As reported in the NSF listings - which is a yes. UL is in the Top 100 Public Universities - and without a Med School. UL came in just over $205M this past year - and, there are more big things happening.

Something needs to break State’s stranglehold on the medical schools.

Something needs to break State’s stranglehold on the medical schools.

ULM is perfectly capable of converting the medical school renting space into the ULM medical school and health complex.

Total research?

2021
LSU-S: . . . . . . . . . . . . .$462K
Nicholls: . . . . . . . . . . . .$551K
McNeese: . . . . . . . . . . $664K
Northwestern State: $1.6M
SLU: . . . . . . . . . . . . $1.7M
Grambling: . . . . . . . .$2.1M
ULM: . . . . . . . . . . . . $2.2M
SU: . . . . . . . . . . . . . $4.9M
SU Ag Ext: . . . . . . . .$6.1M
Xavier: . . . . . . . . . .$13M
UNO: . . . . . . . . . . $17M
LSU-HSC-S: . . . . . $21M
Tech: . . . . . . . . . . . $27M
LSU-HSC-NO: . . . .$44M
LSU (LSU-BR, Pennington, LSU Ag, Vet School, Law School):
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $296M

As we have noted, LSU has 3 times our faculty, 4 times our funding, and 5 times our doctoral programs. So here's my question: If we subtract Pennington, LSU Ag, LSU Vet, & LSU Law; does LSU-BR by itself pull in less than $200M??

Has UL passed LSU in research funding?

[Rainman66]

Does anyone know what the endowment is these days?

Around $250M is what I read last.

Yours was more better. LOL. I just copied and pasted. I’ll have to ask the good doctor how their meeting went. She’s excited about the Health Sciences Campus.

I will be excited to see the health science campus once it opens. I also heard through the grapevine that the gym is going to be reopening. I hope that is true. I will be able to walk there.

Shhhhh!

Well you should know UL has a lot of valedictorians, salutatorians and top tier students from all over the state, country and world. Some are even athletes who play for UL.

But we miss a lot in the local area because high school guidance counselors don't want their best and brightest to just attend the "local university."
