Gov. Bobby Jindal took a step toward acknowledging student concerns about higher education late Tuesday afternoon with a post on his Facebook page asking for student input.
“To Louisiana College Students: Our government is spending more than we can afford, and I believe our universities are delivering less value than you deserve. Click below to join the discussion,” the post said.
The post asks students for  feedback on how the state is currently funding higher education.
“I am happy to hear your thoughts on that,” the post said. “But I would ask that you would also take the time to think more deeply about your college experience and share with me your thoughts on how we can save money and improve your educational experience.”
The post comes one day after Student Government President J Hudson made national headlines for his a letter to newspapers in states Jindal has visited in the past two weeks.
