Southern University at Shreveport is slated to lose $2,647,305 in state funding if a budget bill, HB1, is not amended by the Louisiana legislature.

As the budget continues to move through the state's legislature, higher educational institutions are expected to see a reduction of more than $200 million in state support. Particularly hard hit are the schools within the Southern University System, the nation's only system of Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

The proposed budget cuts to the higher education could derail Southern University's effort to climb out of exigency and to lift furloughs from hundreds of employees on the Baton Rouge campus, Chancellor James L. Llorens said today.

The Southern University and A&M College System (SUS)--America's only historically black college and university system, an asset vital to the state of Louisiana and to the nation--will be devastated by the proposed budget cuts currently being considered by the Louisiana Legislature.
