A Mississippi university tries again to drop 'Women' from its name

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Leaders of Mississippi University for Women made a new proposal Tuesday to shed the school’s gender-specific name in a way they hope will be accepted by alumni who fondly call their alma mater “The W.”

The public institution would become Wynbridge State University of Mississippi and would still market itself as “The W,” if legislators approve the plan. The name change would happen July 1.

It’s the second time this year that MUW leaders have rolled out an idea for renaming the university in Columbus. MUW has also enrolled men since 1982, and about about 22% of the current 2,230 students are male.

But university leaders say having “women” in the name complicates the recruiting process.

How long would "Mississippi University for Men" last today?

I wouldn't attend a University that was

"Mississippi University for Blacks" or

"Mississippi University for Whites" or

"Mississippi University for Men" or

"Mississippi University for Women"

I'm not interested in going somewhere that brands it self as "for" a particular group. Any group. So it's absolutely no surprise that it complicates the recruiting process.
