Tough day for the University of Wyoming? How so?

Yeah, this shouldn't be allowed to happen. How can they be a state college if they don't grant bachelor's degrees? If University of Denver, a private school could block Metro State from rebranding as Denver State University, UW should be able to block this. But, with the Freedumb Caucus dumbasses at the wheel, they'll probably do it to inflict harm. That's what they like to do, hurt people.
LCCC is trying to fool people into thinking they're something they're not with the name change. Just go with Cheyenne College. There, all your ginned up concerns about "confusion" solved. You're welcome.

It’s brand forever diluted.
University of Wyoming was always associated with the State of Wyoming. Wyoming State College dilutes that longstanding brand. It will absolutely add confusion for those out of state who aren’t as closely connected to the University as us. Over time, it will become like a North Dakota/North Dakota State or South Dakota/South Dakota State to the outside world.

They already offer bachelors degrees and plan to add significantly more 4 year programs. It’s direct competition no matter how they try to spin it.

Those aren't real bachelors, man, a BAS in applied management? I could've done that drunk in middle school. those are votech degrees, and they know it. Seriously, sociology, anthropology, and history degrees are more technical than those.

This should be stopped. First, Wyoming State needs to come from the state legislature not from a CC president. Second, if Wyoming ever needs a second 4 year state university it needs to be somewhere outside of the southeast corner of the state. We don't need Wyoming State 45 minutes away from the University of Wyoming. This goes through, I've had enough of Cheyenne. Time to form the great state of Absaroka.

If there ever was going to be a Wyoming State, Casper or Sheridan made a hell of a lot more sense.
I suspect that there is no stopping this outside the legislature getting involved. The LCCC President doesn’t announce this without knowing full well how its Board is going to vote.

Exactly. Sheridan would make for a great college town and is far more attractive to out of state students, and Casper makes much more sense as far as central location. Though I don't think we are at the point of needing another state funded 4 year university. I already wrote to my state senator and rep. I encourage everybody to do the same, and encourage your neighbors as well. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
