re: Will LSU's Decline Be Saved By Budget Crisis?

That article says that 27% of LSU faculty and 1,400 classes could be cut which would jeopardize the accreditation of the engineering & buisness colleges. Do you consider those majors worthless? IMO, those are severe cuts for the BR campus

Sure they're severe cuts, but LSU isn't going to gut the programs that write the checks

I know the OP's intent was to throw doubt towards LSU athletics. But I think this is more about LSU System as a whole, athletics is a small portion of the LSU educational system. This write-up makes it sound like some drastic measures may be taken very shortly that could impact an awful lot of people. Don't you think budget cuts of that magnitude will have an affect on the whole state of LA?
