NASA Selects UL as One of Eight in Nation

[Lafitte the Pirate]

I don't like it but, it is what it is.

Academics=UL Lafayette
Athletics=UL

Do mean it is right. I am challenging them every day on LinkedIn and Twitter.

Doc, I am going to completely disagree with you on this issue. Our communications people and stupid alumni association constantly sends out Linkin and Twitter messages referring to us as UL Lafayette, regardless of what awards we won. This is the wrong messaging for UL and future quality students. The enemy is us.

…….I am with you Pirate Man…..but glad to see you and Fun back on the board…..please stay and keep posting!

We got our “La Louisiane” about a month ago. For S&Gs, I started counting the “at Lafayettes” in the publication. Got disgusted and quit.

I KNOW WHERE THE UNIVERSITY IS!!!

This is why we have to fight within. It’s identified right there when you open the cover in all the publishing credits. Yet we’re spineless, have to “at Lafayette” in every other breath. It’s a bad look, takes away from a fine publication. Reminds me of back in the college days of someone writing a paper that required a minimum number of words…Louisiana v the University of Louisiana at Lafayette…a plus 5 gain every time. Geeessshhhhh.

The “Louisiana” nickname has stuck. No politicians are going to take this on. Use the legal reference once in a release or publication and move to the simpler UL or Louisiana.
