This story from the Chronicle of Higher Education reminds me of a conversation I've had with one of the administrators from ones of the local campuses.
He said the time not to panic was last year. Today, panic.
And so we're in a state of panic in higher education in Louisiana. Cuts have lead to drastic decisions short of massive layoffs.
Since Dec. 2008 each school's budget has been cut. Here's how it breaks down,
SUSLA -- $1.4 million
BPCC -- $2.75 million
I'll update this post with LSUS' total soon.
Every state is having issues with budgets being slashed and higher education isn't any different.
