DuBos: Cut Waste In Higher Ed Administration
Gambit Weekly’s Clancy DuBos had an interesting commentary on WWL-TV tonight…
DuBos won’t exactly solve the state’s budget problems by wiping out the boards of higher education, but he’s absolutely right it should be done. It’s asinine for Louisiana’s colleges to be governed by more than one board or be organized in more than one system. In fact, we’d like to see the state look at abandoning the entire politicized command-and-control format of public higher education in the first place given the appalling performance of Louisiana’s public colleges other than LSU in graduating students.
More on this in the near future. The Pelican Institute is preparing a bombshell report on Louisiana public education for later this week, a report which will call into question the very foundations of how we do colleges in the Bayou State. It’s clear the current system isn’t working, and finally we’re beginning to see recognition of that fact among the old guard.

Nice of him to join the party. Although we’ve had this multiplicity of boards for decades and we haven’t heard a peep out of him about this until now. Might it be because he loaths a certain governor and is trying to find any issue on which to bash him?
Can’t wait to see the report. About 18 months ago I was the only one bringing to light some statistics about my sector of employment which ended up running counter to the narrative the guys at the top of my food chain at the state level were trying to push. I eventually dashed off a note to the Pelican people saying this was a fertile area for their study. Ask and you shall receive!
