LSU Board Rejects Higher Education Superboard Plan
The LSU Board of Supervisors voted against creating a state superboard and removing the New Orleans campus from its supervision. Unanimous resolutions warn changes may come in two years without cooperation among colleges, the LSU system, and the Education Board. The education panel opposes the plan and a study for action in 1966 was proposed as moves unfold. Theo Cangelosi urged disassociating the board from campus locations and establishing downtown offices to clarify authority.
