LSU System President Wade Rousse emphasized revenue growth and expense management, while UNO's transition back to LSU follows years of declining enrollment post-Hurricane Katrina. The Louisiana Legislature allocated $20 million to aid UNO's transition, but long-term research status remains uncertain.
