Opinion: LSU needs a strong leader who will fight to fix budget - Ben Wallace, the Reveille

The University badly needs a central leader — an innovator, an educator and a future legend — and President Designate F. King Alexander might be just the person it’s yearning for. Or he might not. Either way, LSU needs a permanent chief like a diabetic needs insulin. Without one, the University’s sour budget situation will only get worse until one day, this too-big-to-fail institution turns into a sinking ship rather than a flagship. http://www.lsureveille.com/opinion/columnists/article_6e587e8e-95a3-11e2-8a65-0019bb30f31a.html
