The University of Louisiana Board of Supervisors met one week after they partied hearty with Pat Banitar (Patricia Mae Andrzejewski to her friends) at the Paragon Casino in Marksville, LA, and rubber stamped the "plan" from the lsujc/nelscu/nlu/ulm to furlough surviving faculty and staff and fire 36 faculty and staff. The lies, Cofer told the faculty that if they taught for free no one would be fired; Cofer told the NewsStar there would be no furloughs because the faculty were working for free; Cofer told KNOE TV there would be no programs eliminated. Economics, Occupuational Theraphy, Philosophy, Entrepreneurship, and Home Economics have been killed, forever. Aviation, Agriculture, and Dental Hygiene are on life support. But who cares about the chronic illnesses at ULM? Well obviously not the governor's people on the Board of Supervisors.
Maybe the Board of Regents and her highness Sally Clausen EdD will do something this week at their board meeting. She hired Cofer. Or the Regents who have budget authority over all higher education might block these furloughs and firings. But alas, the closest board member to Monroe, LA, is the morally and professionally conflicted District Attorney of Lincoln Parish and of counsel at Hudson Potts and Bernstein law firm, Robert Levy.
