Dr. Jim Henderson, President of the University Systems of Louisiana, talks about graduation postponement, online classes and the summer and fall semesters.

Dr. Jim Henderson, President of the University System of Louisiana, talks about the System's new initiative, Compete Louisiana.

Dr. Jim Henderson explains the reasoning behind the changes, saying that the university is looking to take a more "holistic approach" in selecting future students.

University of Louisiana System President Dr. Jim Henderson says, "I don't know that there's a better investment of our resources than developing talent."

Despite the possibility of cuts to higher ed and TOPS, University of Louisiana System President Dr. Jim Henderson says,"I'll be optimistic to the final day."

The House has approved a budget that would slash spending in many state departments and it TOPS funding would only cover 70% of tuition for students.

When it comes to TOPS, Henderson says, "A 20% cut is not fulfilling that promise."

Lawmakers have to find a way to invest in these state owned facilities on college campuses before it’s too late.

If Henderson is hired as new system president, he'll be leaving Natchitoches for new digs in the state capitol.
