Prior to this law Jindal had high paid unclassified state employees out of state on the books. I believe one may have even been related. The employees mentioned in the article should’ve definitely been terminated 30 days from their hire dates if they weren’t in compliance. As unclassified employees, LSU could’ve terminated or ended their appointments without any kind of disciplinary process. Those employees don’t have any kind of appeal rights either.
Long story short, this was a major mistake by LSU. Technically, they were breaking the law. One could easily argue that there are grounds for termination for the responsible party/parties

Damn man, join us in the 21st century.
My company has at least 3 employees who live and work in India. I know 3 of them we may have more. We do not have an office in India. At least 1 guy in Mississippi and no office, etc.
The main IT people are rarely in the office. They are keeping the systems operational and safe. They don't have time to do grunt work installing computers and crap or even have the time to explain every few minutes that they don't have time to grunt.
It is not uncommon for employees to live in different states from where they receive their paychecks.

Certainly puts JBE in an uncomfortable position.
You have a President that he has openly supported, yet the same one that has seen the school break the law you introduced and cost the school a good amount of money.

Does your Chief Technology Officer live in India?
We aren’t talking about the guys who remote-in to install software.
ETA: CTO, Assistant VP of IT, and two directors.

This is government, man.
I know you are the PR guy for LSU right now, and maybe you are an unclassified employee in secret, but private companies do what's best for the bottom line.
It's going be hilarious to see someone justify over $600k in salaries to people who would rather resign than become LA residents and had supposedly moved to BR.

No doubt F King has to sign off on a position like CTO.
That person looks to have brought their friends with them to exploit this administrations incompetance.

Not if their main residence was in Illinois. Just because you have an apartment or even a house in a state does not make it your permanent residence.
In Texas you have two weeks to get a TX drivers license and get your car registered. If you drive through a residential community or apartment complex around the Energy Corridor you will see a lot of Louisiana plates. You go back a year later it will be the same vehicles with the same plates. The company will either get them apartments/houses or supplement for living arrangements. But their permanent residence is considered to be Louisiana.

At the least, someone should face disciplinary action within LSU. It’s a bad look for LSU’s president too. Therefore, he has to take action internally immediately. It could’ve been a mistake in the HR department, or even deeper than that. Regardless, it’s an inexcusable mistake, and someone has to be held accountable. By accountable, I mean fired.

You do realize that this is the entire point of the law in question? It exists to make sure highly paid state employees actually have primary residences in Louisiana.

Terrible law and it should be repealed. How many Professors/Researchers fit into this same situation that will now depart at the end of the year.
Professors & researchers aren't considered "Unclassified" per the LSU website. The law JBE helped pass does not apply to them.

Your company isn’t a state run entity who uses tax payer funds to pay salaries.

Well that is a stupid fricking law then and explains why they said they would have never taken the jobs.
There are some CEOs of companies that have private jets provided. That is to fly them to work and back home. Because they do not live in the states where they work.

His arguments so far have been that:
A) The Chief Technology Officer should not be able to work remotely, as demonstrated by the fact that his company has IT guys living in India.
B) The employees in-question didn’t need to get LA drivers licenses because their primary residences are in Illinois.
So yeah I’d say the entire point has gone over his head.

The four in question probably wanted to keep taking advantage of the Illinois reasonable auto insurance rather than pay our high rates. Downstate Illinois, where at least two of them lived and worked before taking jobs at LSU, has auto insurance rates less than half the rates charged here.

Name one of these “remote” CEO’s who commute on a company jet. Publicly traded companies only, please. It doesn’t count if they own the business.
P.S., even if you could, it would be an apples-to-oranges comparison for several reasons:
1. These are government employees.
2. We are talking about the Chief Technology Officer, who would report to the CEO and would be expected to live in the same state as their office location 99.9% of the time.
Also note that many large companies have C-suite offices separate from their main operational headquarters. Also not the same thing.
