Gov. John Bel Edwards said LSU Eunice will close by April 30 if legislators fail to act on his plan to fix the state’s deficit-ridden budget.
And, there will be no LSU football season, he said.
More than a dozen staff positions and program and course section cuts totaling nearly $800,000 could be coming to LSUE if the state does not find a way to plug an estimated $750 million budget shortfall.

A check for $2,050 was presented to the LSUE Foundation’s Mayci Breaux Memorial Scholarship by a delegation from Delgado Community College in New Orleans on Friday. Second-year Delegado radiologic technology students raised the money in a three-week raffle of NOLA-theme items. The scholarship is in honor of Breaux, who was a first-year radiologic technology student at LSUE who was killed in the July mass shooting at the Grand 16 Lafayette movie theater. The check was presented Friday on the LSUE campus.
