SUNO-UNO merger

After House Speaker Jim Tucker says he'd fail to have the necessary votes that would merge SUNO with UNO, the bill has now been changed to simply transfer UNO into the University of Louisiana System.

The SUNO/UNO merger is being delayed again.

Members of the House are scheduled today to consider legislation that would merge historically black Southern University at New Orleans with predominantly white University of New Orleans.

One of the most closely watched bills of the current legislative session will be voted on Monday.
