Operating budget shows University dependent on student tuition - Deanna Narveson, LSU Reveille

As the University pools together various resources, the 2014-2015 operating budget shows the LSU System is dependent on tuition, said Vice President for Finance and Administration Dan Layzell. The LSU Board of Supervisors approved the budget for this fiscal year on Friday, totaling more than $1.1 billion, down about 7 percent from last year. The largest piece of revenues for the system comes from students. Layzell said the trend of having tuition as the largest revenue source is a growing pattern in higher education in last several years. http://www.lsureveille.com/news/operating-budget-shows-university-dependent-on-student-tuition/article_00f048a4-3c50-11e4-b4dc-0017a43b2370.html
