OK, sure, let’s diminish the other Universities in the state on behalf of LSU. Many of the other universities have programs that are the best in the state and ranked high in the nation. This is especially true of UL Lafayette in Petroleum Engineering, Business Administration, and some of the technology specialties. I remember when UL Lafayette had a Computer Science program that was ranked 5th in the nation. Then LSU wanted their own program and funding was moved from UL (USL at that time) to LSU and now we have two programs neither of which is ranked as high as USL’s was prior to LSU demanding their own. Each university in the state should receive a fair proportion of funding to enable it to excel in specific areas. I think the UL System is doing that in how they manage the programs, but let’s not diminish the other schools to enhance LSU.
