BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) Eight candidates seeking to be Louisiana State University’s next president were chosen Wednesday by a search committee for interviews, including the leader of another college system in the state and Gov. John Bel Edwards’ top budget adviser.
LSU is seeking a new president in the middle of a sexual misconduct scandal, which was seen as dampening interest in the job, which has been open since an interim president took over the position in January 2020.
A total of 23 candidates submitted applications to oversee a system that includes colleges, medical schools, a law school and research institutions across the state. The president also works as chancellor of Louisiana’s flagship university in Baton Rouge.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) Louisiana’s public colleges are not meeting the requirements of a 2018 law aimed at combatting sexual harassment, with thousands of campus workers not taking a mandatory yearly anti-harassment course.
Only about two-thirds of the workers on Southern University System campuses in 2020 took the required one-hour training course on how to prevent sexual harassment, according to documents filed with the state Division of Administration. Across the Louisiana Community and Technical College System, two in 10 employees did not meet the requirement last year.
