Not part of a state system, institution has own independent boardPart of a state system, system board serves as governing boardPart of a state system, system board is super governing board, local governing board has delegated authority Part of a state system, institution has own independent boardIn Louisiana, the Board of Regents, created by the 1974 Louisiana Constitution, coordinates all public higher education through statewide academic planning and review, budgeting and performance funding, research, and accountability. The Board sets important statewide standards including minimum admissions requirements, as well as benchmarks and targets for the GRAD Act-Louisiana's signature higher education reform policy. The Board of Regents represents the public higher education community before all branches of government and the public and maintains close contact with student interests through the Council of Student Body Presidents. The 15 volunteer members of the Board of Regents are appointed by the Governor to six-year, overlapping terms, with at least one (but not more than two) Regents drawn from each of Louisiana's seven Congressional districts. In addition, the Louisiana Council of Student Body Presidents appoints one student member as its representative on the board. Policies and decisions of the Board of Regents are administered by a full-time staff headed by the Commissioner of Higher Education.
McNeese State University is also a member of the University of Louisiana System. The system governs nine higher education institutions within the state of Louisiana and is composed of members of the Board of Supervisors appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Senate. Each member serves staggered terms of six years, except the student member who serves a one-year term. Annually, the Board elects a chair and vice-chair from its membership. The Board of Supervisors employs a full- time staff whose responsibility, under the supervision of a President, is to execute and enforce all decisions, orders, rules and regulations of the Board with respect to the conduct of the System. The Board of Supervisors is mandated to exercise all power to direct, control, supervise and manage the institution of higher learning under its control, including but not limited to the following:
- Select the Presidents of System institutions
- Receive and expend or allocate for expenditure to the System institutions all monies appropriated or otherwise made available for the purpose of the Board and universities
- Determine the fees which shall be paid by students
- Purchase land and purchase or construct buildings necessary for the use of the universities within the System
- Formulate curricula and programs of study
- Adopt, amend and repeal rules and regulations necessary for the business of the Board, for the governance of the System colleges and universities and for the governance and discipline of students
- Lease land or other property belonging to it or to any college or university within the System, as well as, sell or exchange land or other property not needed for university purposes
- Actively seek and accept donations, bequests, or other forms of financial assistance for educational purposes
Institutional Information for Reviewers
1. History and Characteristics
McNeese State University, located in Lake Charles, Louisiana, was found in 1938 as the Lake Charles Junior College, a division of Louisiana State University. The opening session of the college began on September 11, 1939. The following fall, the school changed its name to John McNeese Junior College to honor John McNeese, a renowned Southwest Louisiana educator and the first superintendent of schools in Imperial Calcasieu Parish. In 1950 McNeese became a four-year college in its own right and came under the authority of the Louisiana Board of Education. Finally, in 1970, McNeese State University became the official name of the school. McNeese achieved Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges accreditation in 1954 and maintains its regional accreditation status as a Level IV institution authorized to award associate, bachelor, master, and specialist degrees.
Current Mission: In fall 2012, McNeese adopted a new mission developed by the Board of Regents consistent with its legislative mandate (see p. 4). Our mission identifies McNeese as primarily a teaching institution designated to provide the following:
- educational programs, in liberal arts, education, engineering, business, nursing, selected allied health, mass communication and criminal justice as well as select graduate programs in these same areas;
- services designed to meet the needs of regional economic development;
- cultural activities and public events for the regional arts community and K-12 education.
Geographic Service Area and Student Population: As a regional, mission-driven institution, McNeese State University primarily serves the population of southwest Louisiana, which consists of Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, and Jeff Davis parishes. Located approximately 2 ½ hours east of Houston, Texas and one-hour west of Lafayette, Louisiana along the 1-10 corridor, McNeese's home of Lake Charles (in Calcacsieu Parish) includes deep and shallow water ports (the 11th-largest port in the nation) and combines both industrial and agricultural production. The McNeese campus consists of 88 buildings on 502 acres of land, and McNeese operates three farms and a meat processing facility in Lacassine, Louisiana. Our academic programs, services, and facilities grow out of and support these leading area industries. Nearly 90% of our student population comes from the five-parish areas. Demographic data as of fall 2012 shows the following:
- Total enrollment: 8,588
- Percentage part-time students: 25.2%
- Percentage graduate students: 10.2%
- Percentage minorities: 26.3%
- Percentage women: 62.2%
- Percentage 25-older: 26.4%
Distinctive features of the institution: In our mission statement, McNeese identifies five areas of special programs and features. These are
- Programs in innovation, entrepreneurship, and small business development supported by the Southwest Entrepreneurial and Economic Development Center.
- Agricultural and related sciences with opportunities for experiential learning at three working farms and the Center for Advancement of Meat Processing and Production.
- Custom academic programs and professional certifications integrated with area business and industry.
- Applied undergraduate research partnerships in engineering, sciences, allied health and the Louisiana Environmental Research Center.
- Cultural events are designed to connect McNeese with the regional arts community and K-12 education.
Beyond its offerings, the McNeese community continues to use three original structures: Kaufman Hall; Ralph O. Ward Memorial Gym (the Arena); and, the Francis G. Bulber Auditorium, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Admissions Policies: McNeese State University uses a selective admissions process in accordance with Louisiana Board of Regents policies for admissions. Effective with the summer 2012 session, first-time freshman who are graduates of Louisiana state-approved public and private high schools must meet the following requirements:
- Completion of Regents' Core (Core 4 Curriculum - 19 units) AND
- Need of no more than one developmental course AND
- Have a minimum high school overall GPA of 2.35 AND
- Meet at least one of the following:
- Minimum high school Core GPA of 2.0 OR
- Minimum ACT composite of 20 (SAT critical reading and math combined scores of 940)
Additional admissions requirements may be found at http://www.mcneese.edu/admissions/requirements.
