President of LSU System visits Shreveport

Updated: March 8, 2012

It's a heated debate that is taking center stage -- should Louisiana State University-Shreveport remain in the LSU system?

System president John Lombardi addressed a room full of faculty members and took questions from the audience. Several people made clear they aren't happy with the current state of LSUS

However, Lombardi believes a merger is not what's in the best interest for Shreveport-Bossier.   Last week the Louisiana Board of Regents did recommend a merger between LSUS and Louisiana Tech.

The legislature would have to approve the merger, but Lombardi believes it won't happen because they'll be focusing on K-12 education.
