Improving SJSU explored by panel - News
The 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 provinicial San Jose State identity, can continue to identify with that more community-college oriented identity.
Restoring a strong, geographically expansive and prestigious CSU (1862) identity in San Jose will also enable to the school to attract a more geographically diverse student body, including more students who live on or near campus, and continue to support the school after they graduate. This will eventually mean more money for the school through alumni contributions.

Merc News to SJSU: Study Wisconsin-Milwaukee
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 overhaul except the small number of SJSU alumni who support the school's current geographically restrictive identity and tradition of failure in intercollegiate athletics.

Spartan Basketball's Emerging STATE Identity
Spartan basketball has gone "STATE" this year, with great new uniforms featuring that powerful brand. This comes years after a professional marketing consulting firm hired by the University recommended use of the STATE brand for Spartan Athletics.
