Yes. Not sure of timing, but related to the entire re-organization of colleges. NSU probably shut down due to poor airport access and aviation services in their swamp (back yard). You may recall that all of those smaller campuses all now referred to as "University of Louisiana" at Monroe, or at Shreveport, or at Lafayette, etc., They kept their mascots, like the rajun cajuns, etc. I think this was under Gov. Bobby Jindal. During the decade of doom, or whatever we're calling it - a few aviation programs that were financially stressed also went away. The overall push in Louisiana was something called "centers of excellence." The idea was to get colleges really good and accredited in specific disciplines and then focus that discipline at that college. In some respects it worked, as in some majors like engineering. But, Gov. Jindal wasn't around long enough to really get it done. Change in education is like turning a battleship. New Governor now, so likely new approach. No idea if Board of Regents in LA. has a plan for aviation in the state, but it seems that with two new programs opening up in the southern half of the state that that is where the assets and resources will be. Especially considering that is where the money is and the population density is. The northern part of LA. is very agricultural, so it makes sense to push aviation into the southern half--where the money is.
