The LSU system includes the main campus in Baton Rouge and smaller campuses in Alexandria, Shreveport and Eunice, along with medical schools in New Orleans and Shreveport, a biomedical research center, an agricultural center and a law school.

Each campus offered its own lists of how the cuts would be divvied up.

LSU at Alexandria worried its entire campus could lose accreditation. LSU-Eunice said it would be forced to choose between closing its entire health sciences division that serves 30 percent of its students or lose 10 individual programs. The Shreveport campus said it would have to cut one-fourth of all academic programs.

LSU Law Center Chancellor Jack Weiss described the reductions as “extremely severe if not catastrophic.” He said he’d have to cut summer stipends, an apprenticeship program, research grants and a law clinic, and furlough faculty and staff.

At least five agricultural research stations and the parish-based extension program run by the LSU Agricultural Center would be shuttered, in a state where agriculture is one of the largest industries, according to the documents.

The university system’s well-known research institute, the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, said cuts of the magnitude proposed would force it to cut 191 jobs, suspend some of its work on chronic diseases and mothball 48 percent of its valuable research space.

Executive Director William Cefalu said scientists would leave, taking their research and grant dollars with them, worsening the impact of the cuts.

Yep, good example of how it's hard to argue with how our admins have managed our university national football championships withstanding. Our academic standing has increased considerably and we are generally competitive in most sports. It's definitely a balancing acting in terms of return on investment in a state that has one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation.
