He is proposing to file academic financial exigency, which allows a university more power and ease to lay off certain programs without having to go through as much judicial process through the state. "Bankruptcy" is the buzz word used by the media in order to reel people like yourself in. You have been had. If you want I can explain how the ramifications and legal proceedings differ in almost every way from bankruptcy
Did your president not come out and say y'all are drafting up the bankruptcy filings?

LSU is a great value school that offers a lot of high paying degrees, and we have a strong alumni base to back that. Hell in I think 2008 LSU had 3 of the 5 highest paid CEO's in Houston. Our freshmen classes have gotten stronger and stronger every year. LSU is in a much better position than you think, despite the fear mongering bullshite our worthless chancellor is spewing

Also Alabama's acceptance rate is 57%, Auburn's is 82.7%... A lot more people are wanting to go to Alabama.

quote:It is simple really. Bankruptcy applies when a persons assets no longer can cover their debts. Basically their net worth is in negative numbers. They can then file bankruptcy and get some of their debts expunged.
Yes please
Financial exigency is when a university drafts a plan to cut programs that are no longer necessary to their existence. So, in a way, "cut their debts". This is why lazily some will compare it to bankruptcy. However in no way does it mean our debts outweigh oUr assets. So in reality it is an extremely poor correlation
Now see, you learned something today.
ETA: This is an extreme simpleton definition of both

To add, with the student loan bubble bound to crash sooner rather than later, it wouldn't exactly be shocking to see LSU skyrocket in the rankings down the road. The ROI for an LSU degree for the price is outstanding, and if parents are too dumb to see the bottom line benefit, then that's their problem

Have y'all found a replacement lender for the one that canceled the 100mm debt service last week stating financial uncertainty as the reason after your credit rating was knocked down? Are those building projects delayed? Your chancellor should be canned for his statements.

I dont think those numbers report poorly on Bama. AU, LSU, A&M will have a higher avg salary because a large % of our university are engineers. We dont need this thread to become a troll fest
I have two major problems with comparing salaries.
One, salary comparisons rarely ever take cost of living into consideration. Is a Yale Law grad that makes $130,000 a year in New York right after graduation really making more than an Alabama Law grad that makes $80,000 in Birmingham right after graduation? No way - $80,000 in Birmingham is a lot more than $130,000 in New York on a cost of living adjusted basis.
Two, comparing salaries 15 years after the fact is not an apples to apples comparison. If you're going to compare salaries to measure schools, you do it right after graduation otherwise other variables will end up skewing the data.

State's numbers are inflated on payscale due to the fact that farmers don't use payscale.

I have been saying all along that both LSU and Alabama are grossly underrated academic institutions.
This whole "bankruptcy" thing is Equus Africanus Asinus Communus v. Loxodonta Elephas Homophobius. Pay no attention to the bullshite from the two statist political parties.

I'm sure they're in negotiations to regain those investments, and I would think LSU can regain their partnership when the dust settles with jindal's bullshite legislation. I agree that Alexander needs to gtfo along with jindal. I miss Mark emmert. His vision and strategic moves are why LSU has improved so substantially since the 90s. If he were still here, this probably wouldn't be an issue and he certainly wouldn't sound like the little bitch Alexander has been

If you are using the payscale data that is self reported. Probably skews fairly higher than actual numbers.
You do realize that the data points others like to brag about (like USN&WR) are self-reported as well?

Well Auburn is the backup for those who don't get into Georgia.

LSU is almost like the "test hamster" of the inevitable. These colleges can't sustain the models they have. The University of Wisconsin is one of the top public universities in the world, and it's facing alarming cuts. Instead of bitching, LSU should capitalize on becoming more efficient, build on its strengths (engineering, business, research, etc) and it'll work itself out. I can't believe I'm typing this, but Obama is right about what constitutes university rankings. It's not exactly coincidental lSU is 35th nationally in mid career salaries for public universities, yet we're barely tier one. Also I apologize for the wall of text as I'm typing from my phone

true...because some people choose their school based on dumb shite like football...and Alabama has way more fans (sidewalk and non) in the state of Alabama, popping out even more Alabama fan children who want to go there...often because of football
