LSU-Alexandria braces as budget cuts continue - Bret H. McCormick, The Town-Talk

A bull's-eye sits squarely on Louisiana's four higher education systems as state-ordered budget cuts are made, and the target includes Louisiana State University at Alexandria. In the past year, state-owned colleges, universities and technical schools have seen budget cuts of nearly $165 million, and Gov. Bobby Jindal announced Tuesday an additional $84 million midyear budget cut for higher education. "We've got to limit government spending so we can live within our means. ... Every agency will be having to make some tough choices," Jindal said.
