Pros – UNO has down-to-earth faculty who work hard and accomplish a lot with a little. The students are generally there to get a degree, not party. Unofficially, the students in New Orleans get the best education at UNO.

Cons – There are few resources for departments and salaries are low. The administration under the LSU system was horrible, but things may improve under the UL system.

Advice to Senior Management – The faculty and staff need better support from the administration if UNO is going to grow and thrive in the coming decades.
