Meet Timothy Hardy, a native of Shreveport, Louisiana who has recently been chosen by Gov. Jeff Landry to head the Louisiana Community Technical System. This appointment was made official on June 10, and Hardy will now oversee 12 community colleges that collectively serve a whopping 150,000 students. These institutions are also expected to produce a staggering 30,000 graduates every academic year.
According to a report by KSLA, Gov. Landry has high hopes for Hardy, believing that he possesses the necessary leadership skills to ensure that these community colleges produce graduates who are well-prepared for the workforce. In fact, the Governor himself had nothing but praise for Hardy, stating, "I am pleased to announce the appointment of Timothy Hardy as the chairman of LCTCS. With over 25 years of experience as an adjunct professor, he brings with him the leadership and expertise needed to guarantee that our community college system is producing individuals who are ready to take on the challenges of the workforce. I am confident that he will do great things for our state in this role."
Hardy is currently a partner at the Baton Rouge office of the Breazeale, Sachse & Wilson law firm, where he specializes in environmental law. In addition, he is also a professor at the Southern University Law Center, where he has been teaching courses on this subject for the past 25 years. In recognition of his contributions, the Southern University School of Law has named him a distinguished alumnus and inducted him into their hall of fame.
With his appointment, Hardy takes over the position previously held by Willie Mount, an appointee of Gov. John Bel Edwards whose term was set to end in 2027. Hardy brings with him a wealth of experience, having served as a top advisor on environmental affairs for former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer, as well as holding positions such as assistant secretary for the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality Lands and division director for the Louisiana Department of Justice. He has also been a member of six transition teams for various Louisiana governors, regardless of their political affiliation.
In an interview with KSLA, Hardy expressed his enthusiasm for this new opportunity, saying, "The LCTCS has the power to change lives and shape our state's workforce. I am truly honored and excited that Gov. Landry has given me the chance to work alongside the LCTCS Board, the system leadership, and stakeholders from all over the state during this crucial time in higher education." With Hardy at the helm, the future of the Louisiana Community Technical System looks brighter than ever.
