For those of you who are not aware, Bobby Jindal has been performing a similar experiment to the one that Sam Brownback has been performing in Kansas.
Let's hope the results are not as bad, as the current budget deficit in Louisiana has ballooned to $940 million (and projected to be $2 billion dollars next year) dollars and is now threatening LSU's football season (at least according to informed sources).
In the past, I've been told by acquaintances who attended LSU that they would emerge relatively unscathed from the financial woes, but this looks like that information wasn't correct.
This assessment is no less dire, but at the very least, students will feel the pain and in a worst-case scenario, the university may have to shut down:
Students from Louisiana get free tuition to LSU....OOPS, not anymore, as of a few days ago, that program is cut off. The students will have their free tuition for this semester and then they'll have to figure it out.
Also, and as noted in the article, LSU has the money to pay professors until April 30th. If they don't get money from somewhere, classes may be cancelled.
