Grambling struggles with $3.7 million deficit - Scott Rogers, The News-Star

A total of 4,504 students are enrolled for the fall semester, down from 11 percent over last year. The decline in tuition revenue is expected to be $3.7 million. Grambling State University interim President Cynthia Warrick said GSU faces increased faculty teaching loads and furloughs and possible closure of its laboratory schools to overcome a $3.7 million deficit. Warrick plans to ask the Legislature and governor's office to come up with a $762,000 shortfall to keep Grambling Laboratory Schools open next fall. Her deficit plan will be presented to the University of Louisiana System in December for approval. http://www.thenewsstar.com/story/news/local/2014/10/31/grambling-struggles-million-deficit/18264495/
