Our Plan to Accelerate LSU Student Success and Research Excellence - Phase 1

LSU is on an incredible trajectory. We’ve had consecutive record-breaking years in research, philanthropy, state support, enrollment, and student quality. Uncertainty in federal funding and future support should not hinder our growth or momentum. Instead, we must transform challenges into opportunities that strengthen the success of our students, our research growth, and our university’s strategic direction. By acting decisively now with a renewed commitment to student success, research acceleration, and strategic funding realignment, we will protect our mission while advancing our strategic goals.

This is not a plan to maintain the status quo – it is a plan to accelerate. By acting now, we are investing in student success, fueling research excellence, and ensuring that LSU continues its ascent.
