University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, students voted on renaming their school in 2006, and voted overwhelming to keep their current state identity, even though it's not the main Wisconsin campus, which is located in Madison.The top two vote getters were the existing UWM name and "Wisconsin State University". Names that focused on the school's city identity, like "Milwaukee State University"

San Jose State (SJSU) historical revisionists and their allies from other city-name-plus-the-word-state schools like San Diego State have assaulted the Wikipedia in an attempt to distort California and CSU history and limit references to San Jose's original identity (the California State Normal School).Under the guise of technical Wikipedia rules, SJSU Wikipedia revisionists first vandalized and

The CSU has a great new identity package for the Chancellor's office, but students and alumni from the original and oldest California State (1862) institution of higher learning are still prohibited from effectively identifying and marketing themselves as CSU graduates.Is this fair or right, and why don't the CSU Trustees or the Chancellor's office help students and alumni in San Jose secure

Few cast ballots in A.S. - NewsAs the above story from the Spartan Daily indicates, only 469 San Jose State (SJSU) students out of 30,000 bothered to cast votes in the recent race for Associated Students student government positions, despite the fact that A.S. controls $6 million in student fees.Several articles in the Spartan Daily recently have highlighted the rampant apathy among SJSU students

Improving SJSU explored by panel - NewsThe real way to improve SJSU is to recognize and promote its prestigious identity as the oldest CSU campus, instead of suppressing this, as is currently done by "San Jose State".Students should also have the freedom to identify with, and market themselves as, California State University, San Jose, graduates, if they choose. Others, who prefer the more

In a March 11 column, Mercury News sports columnist Bud Geracie had this to say about SJSU Spartan athletics:"San Jose State should study Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a large downtown commuter school that has overcome years of athletic failure and widespread apathy to become a regular at the NCAA basketball tournament."It seems like everyone knows "San Jose State" needs a major image and identity

Spartan basketball at San Jose's California State University (CSU) campus has gone "STATE" this year, with great new jerseys featuring that powerful brand, commonly associated with the oldest "State University" school in a state. San Jose's CSU has often been referred to simply as "STATE" throughout its history. And the Spartans have won most of the home games they've played with these jerseys

A UCLA Bruin recently posted a suggestion on the http://www.spartanthunder.com message board suggesting that San Jose, as the original and oldest CSU campus, market its sports teams as the "Cal State Spartans".
