*EDUCATION NOT GUARANTEED PREMIERE IN BATON ROUGE

Posted by BUREAU of CHANGE in EDU

BUREAU of CHANGE hosted a launch party and screening of our short documentary *EDUCATION NOT GUARANTEED on Friday, April 19 from 7PM to 10PM at 421 N Third St. in downtown Baton Rouge.

Sparked by illegal student fee practices and misappropriation of digital media education funds at Louisiana State University, *EDUCATION NOT GUARANTEED reveals new information on how financial improprieties reflect a broader “academic environment where administrators and faculty feel free to indulge their fears and egos over their responsibility to students.” The documentary, which was created by LSU School of Art alumni and faculty, follows the journey of a student whose trust in the university dissipates as he witnesses how his education is sacrificed due to others’ corruption and deceit.

As a gesture of Restitution to Students whose fee money was misappropriated for faculty iPads and other perks, BUREAU of CHANGE awarded surplus projectors, scanners and other equipment from the state of Louisiana to LSU students and alumni who attend the premiere.

Free BUREAU of CHANGE t-shirts were available throughout the evening for all attendees.

“The group of filmmakers said students are vulnerable to unethical decisions by university administrators and need someone to stand up for them.
‘Now that we’re in a position that we can, and that we know and have this knowledge now, we want to share it and hopefully make something happen and make change happen,’ said Jared Hornsby, one of the filmmakers and an LSU alumnus.”
