[edit] Integration order

To provide a more neutral viewpoint for this article I think it would be appropriate to include some information regarding the desegregation order in 1989 which ordered LSU law school and SULC to merge. Southern University's president, Dolores Spikes, acknowledged the paradox in black schools' contesting a desegregation order that resulted from a suit originally filed by the Federal Government on behalf of blacks.

[edit] Tons of issues with this article

First off, in interest of full disclosure, I am currently a 2L at SULC. I checked this article out to just see what it had to say, and I was shocked to see the various problems with this article. I have tagged the article with these issues, but to summarize:

• Missing citations - the article cites nothing but mystery quotes. Please cite these quotes.
• References - there are absolutely no references in this article.
• NPOV and advertisement - this article reads just like something you would see on the school's own website, in an attempt to recruit students.
• Trivia sections - generally not allowed under wiki policy.
• Quotations - this article is just quotation after quotation.

As I am a law student, I don't have much time to dedicate to these issues, but they need to be fixed. I hope somebody can clean this article up. --Mr. Brown (talk) 05:40, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
