Today, Governor Jeff Landry issued an Executive Order establishing the Governor’s Task Force on Public Higher Education Reform. Executive Order Attached.
Louisiana is now joining the State University Systems of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and the Texas A&M University System, in the creation of the Commission for Public Higher Education (“CPHE”). The CPHE will offer an alternative to the out-of-touch accreditation system and is committed to ensuring higher education prioritizes merit-based standards.
“This task force will ensure Louisiana’s public universities move away from DEI-driven mandates and toward a system rooted in merit-based achievement,” said Governor Jeff Landry.
