Louisiana State U. Press Will Not Close, Director Says

There’s good news from Baton Rouge. Louisiana State University Press will not be forced to close despite the state’s budget troubles.

Mary Katherine Callaway, the press’s director, confirmed in an e-mail message to The Chronicle that the press would live to publish another day. “Yes, it is good news,” she wrote. “We will need to retool several parts of our operation due to the budget cuts, but we’re focused on what we need to do and optimistic about the future.”
