BATON ROUGE - ExxonMobil and the ExxonMobil Foundation are providing a seven-figure boost to several LSU initiatives, including key aspects of the university's "Scholarship First Agenda."

The $2 million investment will be distributed across areas including carbon capture research, scholarships and mentorship programs for students and student career preparation efforts.

"One of the most impactful elements of our Scholarship First Agenda is a heightened focus on working with industry leaders like ExxonMobil to create solutions that will elevate lives," LSU President William F. Tate IV said in the joint announcement on Tuesday.

The school will recognize ExxonMobil as a Strategic Partner for the LSU Institute of Energy Innovation. The Institute will focus on advanced recycling, battery and solar research and other related areas.

The $2M is to ensure LSU engineering grads can do basic mathematics at the fifth grade level when they graduate with an “LSU engineering degree”.

LSU and Baton Rouge need to hire additional police officers.

With a crime rate of 64 per one thousand residents, Baton Rouge has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 16.

The only people who want to live in Baton Rouge long term are people from Louisiana and people who are okay with being single for the rest of their lives

$2 mill ain't doodly squat.
Durwood gives that to Aggie athletics every quarter.
Time to pay up - or get out of Baton Rouge altogether.
