Louisiana State University Political Survey
I received a phone call about two months ago from Louisiana State University, inquiring about my lolitical preferences and also asking me specifically about how I felt on the issue of gay marriage. What I find really funny is, when I asked what the purpose of the survey was for, the lady on the phone line couldn't give me an answer. I found this odd. Afterwards, I researched a bit and found out they do surveys sometimes and call people from the number I received the call on. What I find particularly interesting is that this happened extremely close to the time I received the call:

Apparently David Vitter is having closed door meetings with the board at LSU.
This just stinks to high hell, if you ask me... And I do not list my number anywhere or receive any other telemarketing type calls on my number. It is unlisted and I wonder how they even got it.
I remember reading somewhere that Vitter's wife had ties to LSU professionally also. Are universities allowed to have political affiliations?
Then i noticed, the budget for LSU is around $3.3billion a year. That seems like a lot to me, but then again - I am not familiar with the budgets for most univerisites. Just, well... Something doesn't feel right in all of this.
