More nonsens from Ms Taylor, who apparently has great distaste for her I Phone that keeps making her the fool, maybe she should sue Apple:
(The use of University of Lafayette was an error.

We do support the local university. I am a graduate of USL. That does not mean we do not hold the university accountable if it violates policy.

You should hold the university accountable. Still no policy, no law has been broken with regards to the sports name.
As for a legislator with an agenda as your source for the law or policy? Let's just say the ULS clearly advised you in your article that they are not interested as we are in compliance. The Law spent twenty ways to Sunday telling us what is acceptable with regards to U of L. It says nothing about this subject.
You deem yourself a journalist I am sure in addition to your other duties at the paper. Most journalist do have some background in the US Constitution, at least it's first amendment protection. One of the greatest men in American History, a man who help write the constitution was not in agreement with the courts. He felt that Congress view should take precedence, yet we know they do not. Courts rarely list Federalist Papers in their decisions. The courts interpret the constitution and the laws, not the legislators, the new health care act comes to mind calling it a tax thus congress having the authority to force people to buy it
Back to Jefferson.

Your legislators views are no more valid than mine, yours, or John Q Public. The ULS has jurisdiction over this issue until and unless the law is carved to further the LSU agenda.
Again while it is pretty clear that the Daily Advertiser is far more in line with the restrictive views of the law than an expansive. Clearly out of step with the views of most Americans, and most of the American press who always want the broadest interpetation of the first amendment. And yes this is a first amendment conflict.
This will be my last comments to you as I am sure you are a busy lady and have better things to do.
I certainly wish you the best in your career and life.
GEAUX UL, GEAUX actually being a USL concept, not one stolen down the road in Baton Rouge
