University name changes

University of Lafayette would be way cooler and an appropriate way to use "UL"

Lafayette University

It ain’t difficult

Why is ULL able to call themselves UL when it was agreed upon that both them and ULM would use the last letter. USL was much more fitting for those fools. They will NEVER, AND I REPEAT , NEVER be up to LSU in anything. Hell they can’t keep up with Mcneese in most things

They can call themselves whatever they want, but their official name is the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, no matter how much they leave the Lafayette part off.

Edit: at the idiots downvoting this. The university's official website even states their name is University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

USL

Don't know why all of these directional schools aren't called the University of Louisiana at .....? They're all run by the same Board of Regents.

What does this?

You do know "LSU" is an acronym for Louisiana State University, right? Not the University of Louisiana. So it's not like ULL or UL is stealing any "valor" from LSU by calling themselves UL? Kind of a weird flex to bring LSU into the conversation.

As to them calling themselves the "University of Louisiana" it's just marketing solely for the athletic dept.

quote:

"ULS (University of Louisiana System) policy requires both school's abbreviated names to include the municipality, precluding the use of "UL" alone. In 2013, (then president) Sandra Woodley stated that the policy does not address stand-alone usage of "Louisiana" including within athletics, where usage of particular monikers and acronyms became a point of contention. Soon after, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette's athletic moniker became the "Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns."

The system president said they weren't prohibited from using UL for their athletic program. So they did. ULM should have been proactive.

Did you just wake up from a coma?

When my father went there it was SLI, when my brother and I went there it was USL, when my nephew went there it was ULLnow it’s UL. Please make it stop.

has the name change done anything to change the status or relevancy for that school in lafayette

I would say no but if they can get satisfaction by putting Louisiana across their athletic uniforms then let them have their fun
