1984 University of Louisiana name change (court case)

So where do we go from here? I will donate TIME and MONEY to hire a Kick Butt Louisiana Law Attorney to research our constitution and laws and see where the hole is and see if there is an angle for another go at this and give our state what Tulane once gave Louisiana, The University of Louisiana!

The hole was that UL's actions were 100% legal.

The hole was the Judge could point to no laws broken.

Analogy: The Judge gave a ticket for driving 53 in a 55 limit zone. "No law says you can" drive 53.

The hole was it took a later law to say you can't.

Statues of Limitations has long since filled those holes.

Lets file a Banana Republic NO-MORE, We want a "University of" in Louisiana, like we had before when Tulane was The University of Louisiana, and USL was The University of Louisiana! Tell LSUa&mc@BR to GROW the HELL UP, and help this state of ours to move UP not backwards. Hell LSU could not run Pennington Research they were $25 million in the hole, LSU hospital system THEY failed, UNO was about bankrupt LSU had to spin it off to the LARGEST University school system in the state, The University of Louisiana!!!

In my opinion our approach should be the same as LSU's and every other State University in the U.S.....The University of Texas at Austin is the proper name of that University. The University of Texas as a stand alone is actually an acronym. They use also UT-Austin, UT, Texas etc. as acronyms for the University. We eventually need to get a law passed to allow The University of Louisiana at Lafayette to Use UL and The University of Louisiana as acronyms for our University. Right now the "LSU" rule does not allow us to do that. A loophole allows us to use Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns as an Athletic acronym......at least that is how I see it....please correct if I am wrong on this...
