Huh? An Emergency Room doctor gets to pick who comes through the door?

re: Gravy pissed - new EBR School Board Super selected - not who you thought would win

[quote]This line of thinking is why public schools are so bad.
Why should someone spending time as a teacher have any bearing on their ability to be an effective administrator? It’s a completely different set of job requirements.
And the state qualifications to be a teacher are ridiculous - es...

[quote]However, this one is a no brainer.[/quote]
What’s interesting is that the vocal minority wants to “have a conversation” and “welcome people who might have been -ist”. All while “addressing systemic racism”. Which is fine.
Except in this case Middleton did exactly what these people wante...

[quote]None of this means there is some kind of ridiculous secret conspiracy. It just means that trying to issue daily reports isn’t always a neat process.[/quote]
It just points to the incompetence of our State Government. It isn't difficult to update the data based on testing date and then refl...

You realize LSU's largest fundraising years and alumni participation rates have been in 2018 and 2019, right?

Correct. The effort/back-end began then. Strategic Plan wasn't launched until Fall 2017, priority implementation and funding mechanisms weren't put in place until 2018.

The move to layoff the staff was because of the failure to raise the funds for a $1.5B capital campaign. The Foundation CEO was replaced as well[/quote]
Not accurate, FWIW.
Pre-COVID they were actually ahead of target on the $1.5B goal. ...
