ok .. well the university of louisiana at lafayette is not the same thing as the university of louisiana .. .
They have just as much IF NOT MORE right to that name as we do ..
We are U L L .. Lafayette is a great city - we shouldn't be ashamed to say it ... lets just get over it and move on.
just like Loyola University of Louisiana and Xavier University of Louisiana. it's just used to denote what state it is located in since there is more than one of that named institution throughout the US. also, are you sure you want to use Wikipedia as a strong academic source for your argument???? if so you might want to go back to high school or take a refresher 101 class at The University of Louisiana and maybe you will learn something
I just said that Wiki had some good info on the topic ... I never said that it was the definitive piece of work on the subject ...
I would love to go back to school but unfortunately I can not find an address for The University of Louisiana ...
I really have no dog in this fight. I have degrees from both institutions ... I lettered at U L L and it will always hold a special place in my heart .. I just can not get over how this is such a big deal to you people ...
WOW ... besides being a terrible example - I am sure you know that neither of those two names you mentioned are the real names of schools .. Don't you ??
And for what it is worth .. It is Loyola University New Orleans .. Not Loyola University of Louisiana .. I am out of here .. Good day ...
if you say that you cant find an address for the university of louisiana then you are admitting that Tulane does not hold the moniker.
as far as not understanding why we make such a big deal about it....... you've been here and apparently played a sport or sports here. how can you not?
And Northwestern is the Northwestern State University of Louisiana.
How is that different from a couple of dozen LSU's?
Actually they have no right whatsoever. First, when they asked the Legislature to go private, they agreed to change their name.
Second, before we went for the name change, we asked for Tulane's permission, and they gave it to us.
Look up your intellectual property law. Either of those constitutes abandonment of ownership.
Yawn. Mr. Cajun needs to apply for name change.
