More and more graduates of Louisiana universities leave state to begin careers

DON’T GO Kate Nasoff said she didn’t think twice about moving back home to New York City after graduating from Tulane University nearly one year prior.

“I stuffed my college diploma into a cardboard box and thought ‘thanks for the memories, New Orleans.’”

About an hour later she’d left her Uptown residence located just off of Tulane’s campus one last time, and headed to where she’d spent the first 18 years of her life.

Similarly, none of her close friends she’d graduated with were staying in Louisiana either. One moved to Atlanta, one to San Diego, and a handful had also gone to New York City, but not one of the girls she’d grown closest with at Tulane decided to continue on in Louisiana.

Whether moving back home with parents while waiting for job offers or having already received job offers in new cities, Nasoff explained that very few people she knew ever considered living or taking a job in Louisiana where they spent the last

four years.

Nasoff’s post-graduation testament reinforces a major issue that Louisiana’s work field and economy continues to suffer from.

Ideally, the flow of college graduates moving into a state should, at least, balance out with the flow of college graduates moving out of that state, but that isn’t so in Louisiana’s case.

In 2013, the state experienced a 13 percent net loss of bachelor’s degree holders and a nine percent net loss of associate degree holders, according to a study conducted by the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS).

While the NCHEMS study revealed a trend of graduates generally moving out of Louisiana, it also discovered that the state experiences a net inmigration of residents with the least education.

As a result, Louisiana businesses face a shortage of people with the highest education, yielding an overall weaker economy.

COVER STORY

Louisiana looks for ways to retain college graduates RETENTION RATE GAPS Retention rates differ among various regions of Louisiana, according to a study by Martin Prosperity Institute that ranked the best and worst large U.S. metros at retaining college graduates.

The study found that in New Orleans, where private universities like Tulane and Loyola are located, the retention rate for graduates from two and four year universities was 46 percent, ranking the city the ninth-worst in the country.

In Baton Rouge, where public universities LSU and Southern are located, the retention rate was 53 percent.

The seven percent difference introduced the idea that another factor might contribute toward degree holder’s post-graduation plans.

Indeed, New Orleans universities hold the highest number of out-of-state student population.

Tulane University, for example, has a student body consisting 77 percent of out-of-state students, according to CollegeBoard, a program for high school students preparing for college that provides student body demographics.

By contrast, LSU, located in Baton Rouge, has 83 percent of the student body from Louisiana.

LSU Admissions counselor Daniel Barrow summarized the differences between in-state and out-of-state attendance for these two schools. He noted that students who grew up in Louisiana and also went to a university in the state had a higher tendency to stay in-state upon graduating. Students from out of state who attend school in Louisiana were much more likely to move away after graduating.

Louisiana, like many other southern states, has a large population of people who place value on family and close-knit communities, creating generations of people who want to stay.

“Louisiana is a collectivist culture and always has been,” Burrow said.

Burrow said the collectivist nature of the state is so strong that it leaves a negative imprint on outsiders from other states, who may see opportunity, but don’t see a place for them in the already tightknit social circles and families.

WHAT EXACTLY IS LOUISIANA LACKING? The commonly perceived negative attitude about Louisiana is also upheld by studies that consistently score Louisiana last in categories of quality of life, employment rate, economic performance and first in government corruption, poverty and crime rate.

These statistics deter fresh graduates from staying here, taking with them their talent, drive, energy and creativity elsewhere in the pursuit of bigger and better opportunity.

The higher the level of education a person has, the more job opportunities available to them and thus they have control over where they choose to live

and work. Trends show that many recent graduates, like Nasoff and her colleagues, are migrating to places where they feel hold the most opportunities.

The NCHEMS study also found that long-term young residents of Louisiana (age 22 to 29) with a bachelor degree earn roughly three percent more than their counterparts who recently moved in from out-of-state. This pay gap between long-term residents and newer residents is less among individuals with associate’s degrees, and even less among individuals having only earned a high school diploma. In other words, someone originally from another state working in Louisiana is paid less on average than a long-term resident with the same education and job.

Most of the problems involving the “brain drain” crisis in Louisiana arise from cracks in the economy rather than the higher education system itself, according to Aims McGuinnis, senior consultant at NCHEMS. McGuinnis participates in ongoing projects to reform higher education systems and advises higher education systems within eighteen states – one of them being Louisiana.

“When the system as a whole is failing, it takes more than just a few crusaders to see improvement,” said McGuiness, who felt that organizations with expertise in higher education could only make minimal progress if a weak economy meant less pay and a shortage of jobs.

Nasoff admits she’d received a few job offers during her senior year from local companies in New Orleans and from one larger company headquartered in the city, but said that the companies didn’t seem well-established and felt that the pay and the benefits didn’t give her enough incentive to stay.

Ultimately, Nasoff showed more interest in taking a job with better benefits and with a stronger company foundation as well as in a city where she knew people were thriving.

IMPLEMENTING “BRAIN DRAIN” POLICIES State policy makers have long stressed concerns about “brain drain,” or the migration of the most academically-talented individuals out of the state. It’s impossible to fairly and legally regulate who directly is migrating from state to state.

All workers deserve steady jobs with enough pay that allows them to afford to support themselves and their family. The reality in Louisiana is that workers don’t make enough to make ends meet. The Louisiana Budget Project has included programs and organizations to counteract this stigma.

Louisiana’s Board of Regents exists to oversee higher education in Louisiana, including boards that run the University of Louisiana System, and the Louisiana Community and Technical College System.

BRITTNEY FORBES CHRISTA MORAN / The Daily Reveille

Louisiana’s low economic performance, quality of life and employment rate may be what is causing graduates of its universities to leave the state to start their careers.

The agency has an annual operating budget of $3 million, which is used for the creation of statewide coordination of education policy and strategic planning.

The Board of Regents Support Fund (BoRSF) functions to promote economic development through collaborations between academic programs.

Louisiana was expected to add 400,000 jobs between 2010 and 2020, which fit into the program’s budget.

Talk of anticipated improvement has also circulated as Kim Hunter Reed, 52, was selected by the Board of Regents on April 18 to serve as the next Commissioner of Higher Education.

In a statement made by Reed during a brief ceremony held in Gov. John Bel Edwards’ office, Reed said she would stress access to education as a fighting force against Louisiana’s longtime poverty rate. Reed’s stance seems to recognize the link between higher education and economic development.

LOUISIANANS SELLING TOURISM INSTEAD The government, through policy-making and programs, is one way to bring about necessary changes, but progress through this will eventually reach a standstill without the support and effort of Louisianans, said Bob Mann, professor and chairman of the Manship School at LSU. Mann attended University of Louisana at Monroe, but moved to Washington, D.C. early on in his career to work on Capitol Hill as press secretary for Louisiana Sen. Russell Long.

The opportunity presented itself while Mann was pursuing a story in D.C. for the Shreveport Journal, where he worked at the time. A friend of his from home worked on the Hill and set him up with an interview with Long, whose press secretary was retiring.

Despite leaving D.C. eight years later to marry and start a family in Shreveport, Mann described the experience as the best thing to happen to him professionally.

It allowed him to kickstart his career, which would change a few times before he joined the Manship team. Mann has never had a more challenging job since then. Without his experience in D.C., Mann is unsure of if his career path would have taken him this far.

Upon returning to Louisiana, he said he asked himself, “Have I changed?” The answer was no.

Mann’s years spent in D.C., where he said was a far more diverse place than he had ever experienced in his birthplace, Beaumont, Texas, and at ULM, had broadened his perspective.

Mann said he’d finally understood all the ways that Louisiana was lacking in comparison to D.C. While Louisianans pride themselves in the entertainment culture, he said – hosting Mardi Gras each year, the hospitality of the South, and having unique cuisine such as crawfish and jambalaya – long-term residents failed to recognize valuable qualities that make people actually want to stay here and that Louisiana was lacking in many of them.

“It may be good for tourism, but we overestimate the lure of our culture to the detriment of other important factors,” Mann said.

He described Louisiana as more of a vacation destination than a place to raise a family.

Nasoff had always felt like Louisiana was more of a temporary home while she was attending Tulane than an end destination.

She said she felt that young people with progressive thinking, considerably herself, are driven away by the notion that Louisiana is intolerant. The state has yet to catch up with social and political trends that spread outward from metropolitan areas in other states.

“It almost feels like Louisiana is in a bubble,” Nasoff said.

“It doesn’t feel like we’re quite caught up with the rest of the United States. When there’s something good here, there’s something better out there.” *Editor’s Note: An extended version of this story is available online at lsunow.com/daily

GOING DEEP LSU receivers blend youth, experience for solid group

BY GLEN WEST @glenwest21 The recent history of receivers at LSU has been a star studded one, whether you take it back to Devery Henderson in the early 2000’s, or Brandon LaFell, Early Doucet, Rueben Randle, Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis

Team USA rides LSU players to hot start against Chinese Taipei

BY GLEN WEST @glenwest21 USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team is one week in and boasting a perfect 6-0 record with multiple LSU players making an impact on the team.

Coach Paul Mainieri asked three Tigers to join the team including juniors Zack Hess and Zach Watson as well as senior Antoine Duplantis.

Duplantis’ left shoulder injury during the first game against the

Coastal Plain Select team meant he would miss the remaining 15 games. Mainieri decided to call up another Tiger outfielder in sophomore Daniel Cabrera.

After edging out CPL select 3-2, USA Baseball won all five games vs. Chinese Taipei in lowscoring fashion.

Watson has had a steady supply of hits early, going 6-for-21 for a .286 batting average with two RBI while Cabrera started red hot, going 3-for-6 in his first two games but has since struggled with his

batting average falling to .278.

Hess has made just one appearance so far, going two scoreless innings with a strikeout in a 3-1 win over Chinese Taipei.

Team USA will be in action tonight to start a five game series against Japan in North Carolina and Georgia. After, the team will travel to Cuba for a five game series against their national team.

Editor’s note: This story will be updated online to include the results of the game on July 3.

Team USA Collegiate coach Paul Mainieri has lead the team to a 6-0 start.

Laci Nguyen, 24, took home the title of oyster eating champion after knocking back 55 oysters in two minutes. Jolie Pearl’s own employee Bayley Mowatt won the shucking contest for shucking 18 oysters in two minutes.

Carnegie said this will be an annual festival and he hopes to expand it to a two-day event. He said the goal is to always keep it as a free event.

“We love to see Baton Rouge was so supportive of it, even though it was so hot,” Carnegie said. “It was a great day for Downtown. I’m very happy with it.”

‘Ocean’s 8’ fun, lighthearted continuation of franchise

BY CLAIRE BERMUDEZ @claireebermudez 2018 has had the largest box office sales in years, and for good reason.

With films such as “Black Panther,” “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Incredibles 2,” Hollywood has given people many reasons to go to the movies.

“Ocean’s 8” was no exception. The highly-anticipated movie is packed with an all-star cast, starring Sandra Bullock, Rihanna, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Sarah Paulson and Mindy Kaling.

“Ocean’s 8” is a spin-off of the Ocean’s trilogy, being the first movie in its franchise not directed

by Steven Soderbergh, but instead by “The Hunger Games” director

Gary Ross.

The female version of the original Ocean’s movies comes with a bit of humor and lavish designer gowns, it’s the perfect movie for a girls night. It opens similarly to “Ocean’s Eleven,” with Debbie Ocean (Bullock) who’s recently paroled from prison. Ocean struts out of prison looking suave and ready for her next heist. She starts recruiting a group of women to infiltrate the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Gala to steal a Cartier necklace worth $150 million.

The only negative thing about this movie is the central plot revolving around getting revenge on Ocean’s ex-boyfriend. It’s disappointing that such a strong female film centers around boy problems, but I guess that can be expected

considering it was directed by a male.

This movie received more positive feedback than 2016’s “Ghostbusters,” which many people took to the internet after its release to express their anger that the movie was female-dominated even though the original plot involved men.

“Ocean’s 8” however, didn’t have that issue. People welcomed the female cast, but that may be attributed to the fact that it’s hard to say anything negative about Bullock and Hathaway.

These types of heist movies have an interesting effect on it’s viewers. The sly and almost sexy thieving causes you to glamorize it. For once, you’re rooting for the bad guys, hoping they get away with stealing a multi-million dollar necklace.

13 touchdowns as a sophomore.

Giles felt he and Texas Tech weren’t on the same page and announced he was transferring from the school in the spring of 2017.

The now-junior receiver has two years of eligibility left at LSU. After spending a year competing against Donte Jackson and Greedy Williams in practice, Giles seems poised for a standout year with the Tigers.

Also new to the squad are freshmen Terrace Marshall Jr. out of Parkway High School and Ja’Marr Chase, the four star prospect from Archbishop Rummel High School.

Chase comes into the season with some question marks regarding his health. During Chase’s senior year, he partially tore his PCL causing him to rest for three months without any physical activity. He was well enough to compete in track and field, and arrived on campus in June, but will challenge for a starting slot come fall.

Marshall got a head start at LSU, arriving in the spring.

Marshall was the No. 2 overall receiver in the country by Scout. com and was showing promise before a shoulder injury, from which he’s still recovering, cut his Spring game short.

Orgeron said, as of June 29, Marshall is at 85 percent

Returning to the group are some explosive, experienced talents in juniors Derrick Dillon, Drake Davis and Stephen Sullivan. Dillon saw meaningful action last season as a receiver, but was also given opportunity in the run game.

Dillon caught 14 passes for 125 yards on the season and ran

for an additional 86 on 15 carries.

Dillon should push for a starting job this season.

Davis came into the 2017-18 season with a lot of hype surrounding him as a four star prospect who, in high school, was an elite soccer player. After appearing in six games as a freshman, Davis didn’t see consistent time as a sophomore, catching three passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns.

Davis does have the athleticism to be an elite talent and the

two touchdowns on three total catches proves he has big play ability, but should fill more of a deep threat role if he continues to fine-tune his game.

Sullivan also saw significant action a season ago for LSU, catching one touchdown and 11 passes for 219 yards while adding a rushing touchdown. With a 6’6” frame and 235 pound body, the size is there for Sullivan to have an impact year for the Tigers and after starting eight games last season, the

Hour

experience should only benefit Sullivan.

Other names to watch who will push for playing time are sophomore Justin Jefferson, the younger brother of former Tigers Jordan and Rickey Jefferson, junior Dee Anderson as well as sophomore Racey McMath.

Anderson played in 11 games as a freshman with two starts, catching four balls for 73 yards, but saw his playing time diminish to just eight appearances, catching three passes for 45 yards. The junior should push for a starting role this fall.

McMath has impressed coaches with his physical style of play and after only playing two games last season, is poised for a bigger role. Jefferson has jumped up the receiver chart with an impressive spring including high praise from Giles.

“He’s a playmaker, doing everything he’s supposed to do as a receiver,” Giles said in April.

“He’s blocking, running good routes. That’s my son. I call him my little son.”

The returning players will be key not only because of the experience they have in the Southeastern Conference, but because they can be a helpful resource to the new players as well.

Once again LSU seems to not lack in talent at the receiver position in 2018, but it will be on the group as a whole to write its own legacy in the Tiger history books.

Female prison conditions inadequate, increase recidivism rates HAN-SPLAINING HANNAH KLEINPETER @0728hannah The female prison population is more than 14 times the size it was in 1970, according to a study by the Vera Institute. Women and girls are the fastest growing incarcerated population in the U.S. Despite the dramatic increase in female inmates nationwide, federal prisons have yet to adapt to the unique needs of an allfemale population. Rather than creating an environment conducive to reducing recidivism rates, women’s prisons are often hostile facilities rampant with corruption and shady practices.

“Women are entering prisons that are programmed for men even though their needs are entirely different,” said Holly Harris, executive director of the Justice Action Network.

In many states, male prison guards have the ability to strip search female inmates and supervise their showers. Twothirds of all staff-on-inmate sexual victimization is reported by female inmates, despite women

Women in prison are subjected to emotional and sexual abuse as well as poor living conditions. comprising less than a fifth of the overall prison population. In the midst of the powerful #MeToo movement, it’s important we remember the thousands of incarcerated women whose stories of sexual assault and abuse remain untold.

Unenforced rules and an uneven power structure lead to a toxic prison environment where abuses of power go largely unchecked and inmates leave

in worse condition than they entered. Sexual assault, abuse and manipulation by prison staff are just some of the offenses reported by inmates.

More than 85 percent of women in jail are victims of past sexual violence, and nearly 40 percent suffer from serious mental health problems. Prison staff and guards are ill-equipped to handle such trauma and often fall horribly short in providing

appropriate treatment.

“Many women leave jail with diminished prospects for physical and behavioral health recovery, with greater parental stress and strain, and even more financially precarious than they were before becoming caught up in the justice system,” reported the Vera Institute in their study of female incarceration.

Essentials like menstrual products and basic toiletries

may seem like necessities to non-inmates. For the over 220,000 female inmates in the U.S., items as simple as these are far from a guarantee. Women are often forced to pay inflated commissary rates just to buy necessities, forcing many women to go without.

In 2017, the Dignity for Incarcerated Women Act was introduced to improve conditions for female inmates. Provisions include providing female inmates easier access to child visits, prohibiting the shackling of pregnant women and ensuring menstrual products are provided.

The Dignity Act is a crucial first step in improving conditions for the thousands of female inmates across the country.

In a country with 22 percent of the world’s prison population, such inadequate, exploitative and abusive conditions are unacceptable. We can do better than locking thousands of women in facilities so ineffective and void of rehabilitation that reincarceration seems inevitable.

Terry Crews actively dismantles sexual assault stereotypes HAN-SPLAINING HANNAH KLEINPETER @0728hannah Actor and former professional football player Terry Crews spoke last week in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee about his experience with sexual assault. He recounted being groped twice at a party by Adam Venit, a top agent with William Morris Endeavor.

Crews also revealed he would no longer star in “The Expendables 4” following the producer’s request he drop his lawsuit against Venit. “The Expendables” producer Avi Lerner is also facing sexual harassment allegations himself.

Since his testimony, Crews has dealt with backlash and public scrutiny, including being mocked on social media by rapper 50 Cent. Many are

asking why Crews didn’t fight back, push Venit away or call the police. Crews did all of these things. Regardless, these are the wrong questions.

We should be asking how and why a powerful Hollywood agent would think it acceptable to grope someone without their consent so casually at a party.

We should be asking why rapper 50 Cent thought it humorous to openly mock Crews’ experience on social media. We should be asking why occurrences like this are so common, yet go largely unnoticed.

A strong male figure like Crews identifying as a victim of sexual assault is unsettling to many people, and it should be.

However, it should be unsettling for the same reason any sexual assault is unsettling, not because he does not fit the stereotypical mold of a victim.

“I was told over and over that this was not abuse. That this

was just a joke,” Crews said. “I chose to tell my story and share my experience to stand in solidarity with millions of other survivors in the world. That I know how hard it is to come forward. I know the shame associated with assault.”

It is astounding that in 2018 we are still discussing whether sexual assault accusations from men should be taken seriously.

Toxic masculinity, among other factors, hinders progress toward forming a culture that does not blindly accept sexual misconduct toward people of any race, gender or background.

It is beyond ignorant to mock a man who is being vulnerable and honest about his experience with sexual assault despite the backlash he undoubtedly knew he’d receive. Crews bravely came forward without the shame commonly plaguing male victims of sexual assault. In doing this, he set a valuable example.

In 2018, Terry Crews gained notoriety for speaking out against sexual assault and the culture of toxic masculinity that enables it.

It doesn’t matter how physically strong or famous or traditionally masculine a person is – they can still be affected by sexual assault and harassment.
