re: Why hasn’t F King been fired yet?

I agree with gillian.
The right transformation is essential. Universities are not the gatekeepers of information like they were in the past. Everything you study can be found in a library or on google. The school organizes the relevant learning and provides the student with a peice of parchment that says they can learn. The university model will need to evolve to remain relevant. In my opinion, an online format is a strategy for failure. It leads down a road with low entry barriers with differentiation on cost and user experience.

LSU needs a leader that understands that engagement in the university, fostering strong ties to alumni, and developing an experiential environment along with excellent academics is vital to the growth of the university. Providing opportunities and facilities for innovative research should be a priority. Instead, the university leadership targets fraternities, removes alumni scholarships for out-of-state students, and has a professor making social media posts about dust-busting their office.
