There
a
bunch
of
administrative
shakeup
going
on
over
at
LSU.
The
most
discussed
aspect
was
when
LSU
managed
to
find
a
judge
that
sided
with
their
decision
to
pull
a
professor
from
class
over
some
lightly
seasoned
language,
but
it
isn’t
the
only
thing.
This
wasn’t
the
best
time
to
get
involved
in
protracted
legal
battles
as
the
school
will
be
on
the
lookout
for
a
new
General
Council
very
soon.
LSU
Reveille
has
coverage:
LSU
general
counsel
Winston
DeCuir
stepped
down
from
his
post
last
week,
according
to
a
copy
of
his
resignation
letter
the
Louisiana
Illuminator
obtained
Thursday.DeCuir
wrote
in
his
letter
to
LSU
Board
of
Supervisors
Chairman
Scott
Ballard
that
his
resignation
will
be
effective
March
1.
He
took
the
job
in
2020
and
was
the
first
Black
attorney
to
serve
as
general
counsel.DeCuir
will
transition
into
a
one-year
visiting
professorship
at
LSU
Paul
M.
Hebert
Law
School,
according
to
a
faculty
member
present
at
the
meeting
in
which
his
appointment
was
approved.
While
the
resignation
was
handed
in
around
the
time
that
LSU
decided
to
remove
Ken
Levy
from
his
class
over
a
couple
of
F
bombs,
no
clear
causal
relationship
between
the
backlash
and
DeCuir’s
decision
to
jump
ship
has
been
made
public.
And
while
that
may
have
been
the
last
straw,
he
could
just
as
easily
be
in
the
market
for
a
change
of
pace.
Teaching
is
one
hell
of
a
switch-up
from
reviewing
the
schools
contracts
and
providing
legal
advice.
Not
to
mention
that
law
schools
could
use
a
few
extra
hands
on
deck
—
the
boom
in
applications
could
also
signal
an
uptick
in
student
admissions.
Best
of
luck
not
having
to
deal
with
a
cohort
of
students
using
ChatGPT
to
skirt
past
the
work
they
should
be
doing
themselves.
While
it
can
be
conducive
to
a
learning
environment,
we’ve
also
seen
our
fair
share
of
when
keeping
it
AI
goes
wrong.
Enjoy
the
classroom!
And
if
LSU’s
current
legal
shenanigans
are
any
indication
of
how
they’ll
be
acting
in
the
future,
they
could
probably
use
your
legal
advice
a
year
from
now.
