The Louisiana Board of Regents begins studying the possibility of moving the University of New Orleans from the University of Louisiana System back to the oversight of the LSU Board of Supervisors.

He does not expect legislation this year to transfer control of the university. The Board of Regents study could take up to one year to complete. Representative Willard joins Newell to give us some insight.
