Louisiana s publicly funded colleges and universities are no longer as affordable as they once were after years of diminishing state funding and skyrocketing tuition and fees, an audit from the Louisiana Legislative Auditor s office shows.
As the state government has lowered its level of monetary support for higher education institutions, the financial burden has fallen on the shoulders of the state s in-state students and parents, the audit found. The audit, released March 29, was sent to legislative leaders and the leadership from the state s college and university systems. Overall, we found that decreased direct state support per student which includes state general fund money, statutory dedications, and interagency transfers and subsequent fee increases over the past 10 years have made it more costly to earn a public higher education degree or other credential in Louisiana.

“It took courage for Senator Cassidy to vote against Trump,” Sharon Lavigne, the founder of the faith-based grassroots organization RISE St. James, said about the Louisiana Republican after the impeachment hearing of the former president. “He voted with his conscience, not his party. Now he has to find the courage to honor his oath as a doctor and stop more petrochemical plants from being built in fenceline communities.”
But Senator Bill Cassidy voting with the Democrats to convict Trump doesn’t represent a change in his patrician support of the fossil fuel industry.
Cassidy proved this point ahead of the impeachment hearing by condemning President’s Biden use of the term, ”Cancer Alley.” In remarks Biden made on January 27 after signing executive orders related to climate change and science policy, Biden promised to make environmental justice a priority in areas hard-hit with pollution like “Cancer Alley” in Louisiana.
