LSU SG passes resolution urging Louisiana State Legislature to fully fund TOPS - Matthew Bennett, Daily Reveille

After Gov. John Bel Edwards proposed his “doomsday budget” on Jan. 22, University students have officially declared their stance through LSU Student Government’s latest actions. The LSU student senate passed a resolution on Feb. 7 to urge the Louisiana State Legislature to fully fund the Taylor Opportunity Program for Students. This plea is in response to Edwards’ budget presentation for the 2018-19 Fiscal Year. The governor presented a $233.3 million cut to TOPS funding of in-state students. Physics sophomore Tyler Porche, biological sciences sophomore Sarah Oliver and mass communication sophomore Frederick Bell are all SG senators who came together to create an official resolution from the student senate that solidified SG’s stance on the budget cuts. http://www.lsunow.com/daily/lsu-sg-passes-resolution-urging-louisiana-state-legislature-to-fully/article_8b26d1e2-11ad-11e8-a8cb-c392d3267e1b.html
