Chair Misti S. Cordell's quote at the conclusion of the Regular Legislative Session

“Thank you to the Louisiana Legislature and Governor Landry for supporting our higher education budget and maintaining stable funding for FY26. From our education-to-employment alignment to expanding TOPS and funding additional deferred maintenance needs, much was accomplished to support our students and improve our institutions. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with state leadership as we develop talent so that Louisiana prospers.”
