§3217. University of Louisiana System
The University of Louisiana System is composed of the institutions under the supervision and management of the Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System as follows:
(1) Grambling State University at Grambling.

(7) The University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
(8) The University of Louisiana at Monroe.
(9) The University of New Orleans.
(10) Any other college, university, school, institution or program now or hereafter under the supervision and management of the Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System.
Added by Acts 1975, No. 313, §2, eff. July 17, 1975. Amended by Acts 1980, No. 250, §1; Acts 1992, No. 341, §1, eff. July 1, 1992; Acts 1995, No. 45, §1, eff.

July 1, 1999; Acts 2011, No. 419, §1, eff. July 12, 2011.
Now, for athletic branding purposes, you guys are LaTech or LT. The Universty of Louisiana at Monroe has chosen ULM. The University of Louisiana at Lafayette has chosen UL. There's really no confusion but as I said, if you'll go with your legal name of Louisana Tech University at Ruston or LTU-R, I'll be more than happy to go with UL-L. Deal?
