It’s a revolving door for top leadership in Louisiana higher education. Is the budget—or something else to blame? GABRIELLE BRAUD, Baton Rouge Business Report

The revolving door, island hoping, career advancement—all are phrases used to describe a trend in frequent turnover among top leadership at Louisiana universities.

However, they can be troubling as frequent changes in leadership cause turbulence to ripple through a university’s system. https://www.businessreport.com/business/revolving-door-top-leadership-louisiana-higher-education-budget-something-else-blame
