I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone as successfully manipulated as you. You’re told to like the shitty admission standards and you lap it up like a dog because you’re so brainwashed.

I’d send my kid to SELU before LSU if it offered the degree.

The last DEI president killed admission standards as he was a pioneer of Marxist critical race theory.
The new president and board will fix this but it will take a few years to weed out the ones who should’ve never qualified to get in as they fail/drop out or graduate with their degree in hip hop or women studies

Are you trying to present yourself as the “intelligent student” that would make LSU better? It doesn’t seem like you would be anywhere near qualified for college absent some sort of holistic admissions consideration.

Today we are wrapping up our first visit to LSU’s campus in several years, and I was genuinely shocked at how much the student body has changed.
Slick Willy Tate and his crew were doing work behind closed doors on changing the demographics of LSU students.

By “DEI president,” do you mean F. King Alexander, who implemented the holistic admissions policy?
Maybe you should do a Google image search.

Higher education is suffering the ambitions of those who turned it into a money grab through the lowering of admissions standards and the addition of programs that have no business being degree-awarded disciplines.

I found the campus this week to resemble that of a commuter school. Very few people on campus (years ago the campus was the central part of activity teeming with students). They have scattered so many new buildings that it’s lost its sense of community IMO. My son walked all around campus and told me that he didn’t like the coldness of the school and I absolutely agree with him.
I was pretty surprised by the demographic changes all around LSUs campus as well. Lot of lower income people mulling about in the new less dense LSU campus. If you are going to build academic buildings and dorms pull them in closer together.
Buildings from the Levee to the AG center doesn’t give you a good campus environment feel.

The reality is that your graph shows a racial change in the makeup of a growing student body.
But schools should be about academics and not demographics …. So any standardized testing data over this same period?

LSU is full of trash now that wouldn’t have been admitted a decade ago. Instead of attracting top out of state kids like Ole Miss and Alabama, we just allow in every retard with a student loan.
I wouldn’t send my kid there now.

Yes, and before this it had upped the ACT standards for entrance obtaining better educated kids.

LSU had a better academic reputation when it was open admissions.

The concept that every student should expect to become a white collar professional therefore must attend college is negatively affecting the quality of the incoming classes. The student tries and fails at LSU which sets a course of failure which will taint his or her life. Those students with a genuine interest in arriving at a place where he or she can become a professional thereby changing the course of his or her life are met with the same issues encountered at your typical high schools. The university was once a place which demanded decorum and expected civility but our society has destroyed the ability to uphold this standard so you see a nice cross section the state’s population wandering around.
It’s not a racial thing as much as it is being poorly prepared for college because LA high schools are awful. Many private schools lack resources and most public schools are, essentially, daycares. On top of that, LA in general is a poor state with quite a few welfare recipients and poor families who simply are not prepared to undertake the life change attained from attending a university. More resources poured into attempting to guide students or providing viable opportunities is not the answer when the funding is there now but being misappropriated.
The university accepts all these students, many of whom probably should be thinking trade school or workforce, and along come all the problems that were supposed to be addressed in high school. Many of these young adults have no focus on the future and the educational system will financially support them while they delay entering the workforce despite the fact that the preparation from high school left them only capable of going to work. Add to that the entire generation of poorly socialized screen-addicted young people and you have a net negative change in the student body.
Layering the offerings at different universities and steering students to the correct place needs to change. Offering true educational content related to becoming a tradesman needs to be put in place and offered with a real degree so that any student on a blue collar track can be trained to understand the business and have a basic understanding of his function. Trade schools right now are crap and apprentice programs are few so there has to be a better way to give those young people training because businesses cannot afford it. Let students pay for getting skills with loans and scholarships rather than forcing businesses to teach tradesmen, employee turnover is expensive. If a student is failing on one level of education then that person can be deployed at another level. If the behavior is an issue there are always entry-level jobs the person can land in but he or she cannot continue to clog the system.

This is always going to hold higher education back in Louisiana. That is way too many universities for such a small, poor state.

I wouldn't send my kids to a school as ghetto as LSU. Might as well send them to Southern and save some money.
Nah, they'll be going to Mississippi State or Auburn or another school like that.
