We have way too many. Grambling, Southern, LSUA, Northwestern, etc. could all go and then no matter where you lived in the state, you would be within 75 miles of a university.
McNeese too while we are at it. Got ULL right down the road

First they need to get one board to run the system not the 3 -4 they have now. then any university that doesn't graduate up to a certain percentage of its students in a 4 year program in 6 years time should be closed.
Example SUNO graduates 8% in 4 years and 11% in 6 years. Waste of money. If there is another university within a certain mileage and one can handle the load of both one gets closed.
