The Louisiana State University Agricultural Center, known as the LSU AgCenter, is one of 10 institutions within the Louisiana State University System. The LSU AgCenter’s mission is to provide research-based educational information that will improve the lives and economic well-being of Louisiana’s citizens.
In-depth breakdown of yearly budget reductions to the LSU AgCenter by year, from July 1, 2008, to July 1, 2012.
Since 2008, the Louisiana budget has continued to see shortfalls in revenue, which have had significant effects on higher education. As a result, the LSU AgCenter has experienced reductions in yearly state appropriated budgets, consistent midyear reductions and a year-end cut. The reductions over the past four years have made it difficult to implement and maintain efficient statewide operations in both research initiatives and extension programs.
The LSU AgCenter’s mission is to provide the people of Louisiana with research-based educational information that will improve their lives and economic well-being.
