From Dan Reneau:
As it pertains to any talk of a move to the LSU System, there are a number of issues that would need to be satisfied before any proposal could be seriously considered. I want to be very clear in stating that
these items are non-negotiable and must be agreed upon, at the highest levels, before any consideration can be given to new system affiliation.
1)
We must retain the name “Louisiana Tech University” without compromise, modification or abbreviation.
2) We must retain Tech Red and Blue as our official university colors.
3) We must retain “Bulldogs” as our official university mascot and “Bulldogs” and “Lady Techsters” respectively, as the official names for our men’s and women’s athletics teams.
4) Regardless of the expanse of the physical campus or the future geographic footprint of Louisiana Tech University,
the location of the main campus must remain in Ruston, LA.
5) A
significant value added to Louisiana Tech University must be clearly defined and agreed upon in advance of any formal proposal or action.
