LEGISLATIVE SESSION UPDATE
Yesterday the Louisiana Legislature agreed on a budget plan that spares higher education from cuts after its nine-day special session.
“We applaud our governor and legislators who developed budget solutions that did not include yet another cut to higher education,” 亚洲自慰视频 System President and CEO Jim Henderson said. “The Universities of Louisiana are a positive return on investment for our state and we will continue to work with our leadership to ensure those returns are realized for Louisiana’s taxpayers.”
