  • Representatives Honor Roll 12
    Table of Contents Comments 3-4 Syllabus 5 Legislation That Mattered 6-7 Senate Honor Roll 8-9 Senate Report Card 10-11 Representatives Honor Roll 12 Representatives Report Card 13-17 Dear Supporters, The 2017 Louisiana Legislative Session was a victory for higher education in our state. Our leaders made many difficult choices to ensure that students remained a priority. Higher education did not take a cut in funding and remained stable, and most importantly, the TOPS floor was reset and fully funded. This session has restored my hope and trust in our leaders. They have proven themselves as friends to students, and for that we are grateful. However, the last decade has not been so friendly to higher education. According to the State Higher Education Executive Officers’ annual report, Louisiana has led the country in percent reduction of public funding per FTE at -33.1%, from 2011-2016. Last year culminated with cuts to TOPS, to the alarm of students and the public. Years of budget cuts directly affected our institutional quality and transferred costs to students; this cut to TOPS was a direct cut to our students and was devastating for many. Our lawmakers went back on their promise to Louisiana’s best students to provide them with an invaluable postsecondary educational experience. In 2015, after eight years of constant cuts and budget reductions, LSU Student Government decided to launch this annual Higher Education Report Card to hold legislators accountable to us, the students. The mission of the Report Card remains clear: to hold our leaders accountable for higher education policy in the most objective way possible.

  • Louisiana State University Student Government
    Louisiana State University Student Government Dear LSU Students and Friends, Students in the state of Louisiana are more relevant than ever before. Before the release of the first Higher Education Report Card, students pursuing a degree were not valued in the state of Louisiana—proven by the 41% cut to higher education over the past 8 years. Contrary to popular belief, investment in higher education is the best societal investment that our state lawmakers can make. Because of our initial report card, leaders in the legislature are listening. The Higher Education Report Card is a huge step forward in ensuring that students are heard in the state of Louisiana. The requests are clear. We want stability in higher education and a sincere commitment to invest in the future of our students. We extend our sincerest gratitude to the governor and lawmakers for their work during the longest legislative session in the history of the state. Unfortunately, a session ending in a fully funded higher education and a partially funded TOPS is not ideal for Louisiana’s students. My hope is that the Higher Education Report Card can shed light onto the difficult votes that our lawmakers made during these sessions to ensure that our education would be fully funded. At the same time, I hope students will see that some of their own lawmakers are still not valuing our education as much as they can. We also hope that students will continue to be involved with the affairs of our state capitol by participating in marches and making calls to their legislators.
