ULM has as much claim to "UL" as does ULL.


ULL is the largest university on the Louisiana system. Twice the size of ULM. No different than University of Texas at Austin referring to themselves as UT. They are the largest university in the Texas system. Just saying.

pretty sure that UTA cant legally refer to themselves as UT. Louisiana legislature attempted to prevent a UL by allowing both schools UL but to be further identified Lafayette and Monroe. Lafayette folks, newspaper and school have ignored the law.

While true, this has no bearing on whether either can truly be named, "UL."

Very different, actually. I'm sure the Texas legislature does not expressly prevent any one university within that system from claiming flagship status, as does the Louisiana legislature regarding the UL System. Just saying.
