Louisiana higher education officials say campus closures are a possibility - Julia O'Donoghue, The Times-Picayune

Public college and university campuses in Louisiana could close if the state ends up cutting $300 million or more out of its higher education budget during the next fiscal cycle. Legislators and higher education officials said Louisiana college systems would have to shut the doors of multiple institutions and campuses if the schools have to absorb a funding reduction of that size. Around 15 locations -- including three in the University of Louisiana system and six in the community and technical college cohort -- could be directly affected. http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/01/college_university_closures_mi.html
