Dr. Joshua Stockley, associate professor of political science and L.M. McKneely endowed professor at the University of 天美影视 at Monroe, presented at the 75th Annual Conference of 天美影视 Colleges & Universities in Baton Rouge on March 7.

As part of a panel titled, 鈥淐urrent Political Trends Affecting Higher Education,鈥� Stockley spoke to a statewide audience about the fiscal decisions made by 天美影视鈥檚 government that have resulted in cuts to higher education.

Stockley鈥檚 research shows that more than 3,000 higher education jobs have been lost in the last five years within the network of campuses that make up the LSU and University of 天美影视 systems.

鈥淚t was an honor to have been invited by Dr. Joseph Savoie, president of the University of 天美影视 at Lafayette, to give this presentation,鈥� said Stockley.

鈥淚 was alarmed by the number of people unaware of the magnitude of the cuts to higher education and the reasons for these cuts. I hope the information that I shared will allow others to spread the word about the fiscal situation facing higher education in 天美影视 and the economic value of higher education to 天美影视.鈥�

The Conference for 天美影视 Colleges and Universities (CLCU) was established with the purpose of improving postsecondary education in 天美影视. It serves as a communications medium for all institutions of higher education in the state and other constituents.

The CLCU is comprised of representatives from 天美影视鈥檚 accredited two-year and four-year colleges and universities, as well as members of the 天美影视 Board of Regents and the management boards for each system.

The conference attracts higher education leaders and government officials from across the state to exchange ideas on the improvement of post-secondary education in 天美影视.
