Dental school dead suspended
| By Drew Broach | Deputy metro editor EXTRACTION: Heads continue to roll at LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. In the latest reshuffling of top administrators, the chancellor has suspended the dean of the dental school, Robert Laughlin, who is the target of more than 20 complaints that allege nepotism, favoritism, retaliation and a hostile work environment. Laughlin denies wrongdoing, suggesting the complaints come from a small circle of disgruntled current and former employees. CLOCKING OUT: Although COVID-19 cases have plunged in Louisiana this fall, many nurses have reached their breaking points. The pandemic seems to have hastened the exit for some, who are leaving for less demanding work, more pay and a sense of fulfillment. BRASS BAND, BURNING SAGE: On a circular drive in one of New Orleans' most-visited cemeteries, families gathered Saturday with a brass band and a costumed person burning sage to celebrate and tells stories about their ancestors.
