Southern University System is seeing big changes at the top: Orlando McMeans steps in as interim president after the board fired Dennis Shields, who was only in the role since 2022. McMeans, known for his work at the Ag Center, starts January 1. This leadership shuffle isn’t just a one-off—three out of four higher ed system presidents in Louisiana have left their posts this year, including at LSU and the community college system. What do you think these rapid changes mean for students, faculty, and the Baton Rouge community? #Education #College #SouthernUniversity
