LSU Foundation spokesperson Sarah Whitaker says giving money is an investment in the state’s future.
1.35 billion will go towards academics, athletics, and alumni engagement at the flagship Baton Rouge campus, 146 million will focus on health and biomedical facilities, and 29 million will head to LSU Alexandria, Eunice, and Shreveport.
Whitaker says the “Fierce for the Future” campaign is the first to unite fundraising for all eight LSU campuses.
Whitaker says instead of running separate fundraisers for each LSU entity, they believe the whole system will benefit from a united fundraising front.
Since 2015 the system has raised 38 percent of it’s goal.

Foreman played for John Calipari at Memphis. Calipari would have his last season at that school invalidated due to allegedly fabricating SAT results from recruit Derrick Rose.
The report mentions phone calls from Wade to now convicted felon Christian Dawkins about Foreman rejecting the offer because Foreman “didn’t get enough of the piece of the pie” and the offer was “slanted towards taking care of the mom, taking care of the kid.” Nunez says that seems to be fairly incriminating, but it’s not official until an April trial.

A Jefferson Parish deputy was wounded and two men are dead after a shooting Wednesday night in Gretna.
According to Sheriff Joseph Lopinto, the shooting happened around 10:22 p.m. outside an IHOP in the 100 block of the Westbank Expressway near Terry Parkway.
Lopinto said detectives were conducting an undercover drug purchase in the parking lot when a driver put his vehicle in reverse, striking a deputy and ramming a JPSO car. Detectives shot at the suspect’s car, striking the driver and a man sitting in a passenger seat.
The JPSO reports that the driver died at the scene. The passenger who was also shot at the scene was taken to the hospital where he later died.

Senator John Kennedy is calling on the US Attorney’s Office to pursue action against former Empire star Jussie Smollett for allegedly faking a racially motivated assault against himself. The prosecution says the case against Smolett was dismissed after he agreed to a set of conditions, including 16 hours of community service and forfeiting his 10-thousand dollar bond, which means he doesn’t get it back. It’s also been reported prosecutors also took into account that it was a non-violent crime. But Kennedy still disagrees with the decision made by the Cook County state’s Attorney’s office.
