The underfunding letter
In 2023, the U.S. Departments of Education and Agriculture wrote to the governor of Louisiana. Their numbers show Southern University and A&M College got about $1.1 billion less in state money from 1987 to 2020 than it would have with the same per-student funding as the state's original land-grant university.
