Architecture school at Southern could fall to budget ax

Kofi Lomotey, the Chancellor of Southern University Baton Rouge said, he faces the prospect of having to close the school of architecture next fall because of further state budget cuts. Campus spokesman Ed Pratt said the university is still exploring methods to keep it open, including reaching out to alumni for financial help.

Lomotey said he would have to give a year's notice to faculty before ordering the closure of the architecture school so they and students can shop around for other universities. The school of architecture averages about nine graduates a year. Sixteen of the campus' 88 programs have been recommended for termination or merger.

In the past two years, the campus has seen its budget reduced by 22 percent -- roughly $19 million, including the $4.8 million reduction the school took this year. The cuts resulted in layoffs last year and possibly lead to another 50 staff and administrative job cuts this year, the chancellor said.

Southern University Baton Rouge faces a loss of $7 million in federal stimulus money next year and probably more reductions in state money.

For example the moneylender regularly takes the arrangement papers of the auto the borrower is purchasing. The arrangement papers are returned back just when the credit is completely paid back. Another way is that the loan specialist investigates accreditations of the borrower. www.usacheckcashingstore.com/costa-mesa

When you think about a pickup truck, you may consider moderate 0-60 times and more often than not that much fun out and about. That is not valid for the Ute. Think about the Ute not as "utility" but rather as a "game truck." Payday Loans San-diego
