Somebody make a decision SLU or SELU?

UL-H

Because SLU is Saint Louis University, and Southeastern wants to create their own image. Trying to be their own identity, opposite of ULL, who is trying to be something they are not.

SLU.

SLU is Saint Louis University, and they are a much more nationally-known school.

When I see SLU, I think of Saint Louis University.

And I'm less than 40 miles from Southeastern.

Directly from the Southeastern website:

quote:

For many years Southeastern was known throughout the state and region as SLU. However, in 1994 when the university was entering the online realm, the domain name slu.edu was already reserved by St. Louis University. Another private educational institution had already acquired the southeastern.edu domain name, and as a result, selu.edu was registered by our institution instead.

Following a great deal of market research, in 1994, our university established formal identity standards that sought to identify the university in print and other communications as "Southeastern." With the historical "SLU," online domain name "SELU," and official "Southeastern," much confusion has ensued with regard to our university identity.

All of the schools under the University of Louisiana system have the option to change their name to University of Louisiana. After they change over to University of Louisiana, they have to put down the town they are in. For example, McNeese State could become the University of Louisiana at Lake Charles. McNeese, Tech, ULL, Southeastern and the others all are under the University of La. system. ULL will never have their own identity, no matter how hard they try.

Some other school being the real slu. The one that's been around since 1803.

I said it before and it will gain traction : tSLU.
