Northwestern State University president Chris Maggio announces retirement
Northwestern State president Chris Maggio announced Friday that he will retire from the university effective July 1, 2021. He has served as president since January of 2017 and has been a member of NSU’s faculty, staff, and administration for 33 years.
“This is a decision that was made during prayerful deliberation with my family and was based entirely on considerations of our family’s future plans and aspirations. There has been no pressure or even the slightest nudge from anyone for me to step down from the presidency,” Maggio said. “As gratifying as it has been to work over the years in athletics, recruitment and enrollment management, alumni and development, student affairs and as a vice-president and president, those responsibilities have necessitated extensive time away from my family.”

The Louisiana legislature convenes for fiscal sessions during odd number years. During such a session, legislators may only file five non-fiscal bills. Four of the state’s legislators are using their precious allotment of bills to target children by attempting to ban transgender youth from getting the health care they need or to exclude them from participating in sports.
Louisiana is not the only state experiencing a surge of anti-trans legislation. In 2021, there have been more than 85 bills filed across the country and four have been signed into law by the governors of Arkansas, Mississippi, South Dakota and Tennessee.
