LSU launched a state budget website, but what are the other schools doing? - Julia O'Donoghue, The Times-Picayune

Last week, LSU launched its own website about the state budget to keep its faculty and students informed about the nearly $400 million in higher education cuts on the table in Louisiana next year. The site -- called the LSU Budget Hub -- invites people to share their ideas for staving off the cuts. It also offers some basic facts about what the proposed reductions might mean for the flagship campus. But LSU isn't the only campus facing dramatic funding reductions. If anything, Louisiana's other colleges and universities are more at risk of financial fallout, because they tend to get less private support than LSU. http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/02/lsu_launched_a_state_budget_we.html
