The 2015 Legislative Session has come to an end, and we are in the early stages of analyzing the bills passed and their effect on Louisiana higher education. Early indications are positive, though, pointing to higher education being funded at the same level as the previous fiscal year.
We commend our legislators for prioritizing higher education during this session and making sure that preserving funding for Louisiana’s colleges and universities remained a focal point of their discussions. Thanks also go out to our LSU family for staying informed throughout session and participating in the legislative process. We know that this session was particularly trying for those affiliated with our great university, and we are grateful for the loyalty and commitment shown by all. Once we have all of the details from our state leaders, we will update you on how the decisions made during session will play a part in LSU’s future. Until then, we appreciate your continued hard work on behalf of LSU.
F. King Alexander
LSU President and Chancellor
