BATON ROUGE – Following a move to transfer funding from the state’s TOPS college scholarship program to safety-net hospitals last Thursday, the LSU Medical School at Shreveport still will be $35.6 million in the red, the chancellor warned Sunday, forcing the school to make cuts to all the medical programs.
During a weekend Senate Finance Committee hearing, LSU Health Sciences Center Interim Chancellor G.E. Ghali testified the cuts to funding could potentially effect the school’s accreditation and residency programs.
