Louisiana universities are expanding their Title IX offices (which handle sexual misconduct) after LSU's scandal. But how are they paying for it?

Southeastern is taking $150k from the student newspaper to pay for new Title IX positions. lailluminator.com/2021/08/26/sou… #lalege

At Southeastern, half of a $12 student fee that goes to pay for student publications will now pay for new Title IX employees. That means the student newspaper will have to be online only. From @JC_Canicosa lailluminator.com/2021/08/26/sou… #lalege #lagov
