Jindal Signs New Bill Giving More Freedom To Universities
Governor Bobby Jindal signs into law legislation giving state universities more freedom from contracting, purchasing, and budgeting rules required of other state agencies. Schools will reach different levels of freedom depending on their performance. The final decision-making rests with the governor's Division of Administration after the state's higher education board decides if the performance benchmarks were hit.
