A New Year's resolution for Louisiana's college leaders - Robert Mann, Times-Picayune

Might I suggest a New Year's resolution for the leaders of Louisiana's colleges and universities? Not only for the presidents and chancellors, but also the provosts, deans, associate deans and senior faculty members? Let's resolve to raise our voices in boisterous, sustained opposition to the deep budget cuts that Gov. Bobby Jindal will undoubtedly propose to address the anticipated $1.4 billion budget shortfall for fiscal year 2016. Briefly, it appeared the worst cuts were over. Now, we learn that the cruelest year of Jindal's tenure as governor is ahead. http://www.nola.com/opinions/index.ssf/2015/01/a_new_years_resolution_for_lou.html
