Applied to a school for the spring 2020 before the fall semester even started, still no decision

Long story short, I applied to LSU over a year ago and didn’t get in. Continued taking classes at a community college to improve my GPA and did just that. I applied again, this time for the spring 2020 semester, and still haven’t heard from them. I called the school about a week ago to get an update and was told they STILL haven’t made a decision. The semester starts in a month so even if I do get in, I essentially have no time to set up living arrangements. How can they get away with this?
