University to slash $45.4M next year - Kyle Bove, LSU Reveille

The University is set to take a $45.4 million budget cut next fiscal year, according to LSU System documents released Tuesday based on Gov. Bobby Jindal’s proposed executive budget. “It will be like the Flagship Agenda never happened,” Martin said in a University news release. “The cut will likely cause us to fall back to where we were eight or 10 years ago. This kind of cut — 20 percent — would be a major setback for LSU.”
