Dr. Woodley’s Statement about Legislative Action on the Budget

The Louisiana House of Representatives passed legislation today that begins to address higher education’s $608 million budget gap.

“The University of Louisiana System applauds the difficult votes that were cast in the House of Representatives today. We have great respect for the difficulty of the task ahead and will continue to support our legislative leaders,” said UL System President Sandra K. Woodley.

President Woodley will discuss today’s legislative activity during Friday’s budget briefing webinar at 11:30 a.m. To register for the webinar and access past budget information, visit www.ulsystem.edu/webinar.
