A Louisiana State Senate committee called for nine LSU employees and Board of Supervisors members, along with one Taylor Porter attorney associated with a previous LSU investigation, to testify at a hearing Thursday regarding the Universityâs mishandling of sexual misconduct cases. However, the University confirmed Wednesday that no LSU officials will testify.
This will be the Louisiana Senate Select Committee on Women and Childrenâs third hearing on this issue, following two previous meetings where multiple prominent members of the LSU community provided accounts of how the University has historically mishandled sexual misconduct cases.
The Universityâs decision to not provide testimony at the April 8 hearing comes immediately after Speaker Pro Tempore Tanner Magee said that legislators will require LSU to properly address the problems of handling sexual assault cases if the University wishes to continue receiving funds from the state.
The head of Louisianaâs House Education Committee introduced a bill that would make it illegal to teach about systemic racism and sexism at Louisiana universities and K-12 schools that receive state funds.
The bill was presented April 2 for the upcoming Louisiana Legislatureâs 2021 regular session by Rep. Ray Garofalo and is pending in the House Education Committee.
It would prevent universities and K-12 schools that receive state funds from teaching âthat either the United States of America or the state of Louisiana is fundamentally, institutionally or systemically racist.â
Furthermore, it would outlaw teaching that âthe concepts of capitalism, free markets or working for a private party in exchange for wages are racist and sexist or oppress a given race or sex.â
