COVID-19 and LSU
There were 1,562 COVID-19 cases in the fall and 693 in the spring semester, according to the COVID-19 Reporting Dashboard. In the spring, the University administered over 10,000 COVID-19 tests. Since March 2020, the University reported that 6,478 students and 3,488 employees said they received vaccines.
The University began administering vaccines in March at Tiger Stadium. The state supplied LSU with Johnson & Johnson vaccines. Galligan announced in April that LSU could not require students to receive vaccines in order to attend LSU, but some faculty members called for LSU to rethink that decision.
Classes were held in person, in a hybrid format and fully online. According to the University, one-third of classes occurred in each format.
Student Government elections can be fiercely competitive, sparking debates about contrasting visions for the future of the University and the role of student leadership. Many of us see the debates, the online drama and the Active Campaign Week booths.
What we donât see is what goes on behind the scenes, and what it really takes to run an SG campaign.
In the most recent SG election, the three tickets spent a combined total of $19,172.70. Itâs Time, which took a whopping 71% of the Senate and landed runner-up for the presidency, spent the most at $10,199.65, followed by the winning ticket Bowman-Milligan at $6,724.36 and UNITY at $2,248.69.Â

Louisiana State University’s handling of sexual misconduct complaints was a “serious institutional failure,” created by campus leaders who never spent enough money, left investigative offices understaffed and, ultimately, left students at risk by not recognizing the trauma abuse victims experience, an investigation by an outside law firm found.
The 148-page report by Husch Blackwell, released Friday to campus officials, did not dwell on the failings of specific individuals but rather focused on an LSU system of reporting that was built to fail. Reporting policies were unclear, training was an afterthought and the Title IX office, in particular, was not adequately staffed nor given the necessary independence. The report took particular note that Jennie Stewart, designated as the Title IX coordinator for the LSU system, was overloaded, tasked with doing four jobs at once.
