I keep seeing LSU people post this, but is it even under consideration in the current legislation session? Shutting down 4 yr universties takes planning and I'm sure the state would get a good bit of backlash in the early stages.

it would take politicians with balls of steel with no desire for re-election. Those universities and communities are going to fight tooth and nail. I'm 85% sure it will never happen.

That's what I'm thinking too. I mean if we take the current posturing and whining from the LSU President and multiply it times 10.

The media would be spinning like a top if there was a real threat of actually shuttering multiple 4yr universities. If the state legislature had to consider closures of that magnitude, they'd get stoned.
