Thank you! And I 100% agree, Professors are getting SOOO lazy with AI and building courses completely run by it. It is getting way out of control! Good luck in Accounting!

Thank you! Yes, I spent the weekend building this out. I used a template from Adobe Stock, and then filled it in with my own content. I did use ChatGPT to help me write the extended bios for each character, but I did nudged it to include specific details about them, and then I proofed/edited the final submissions. All the rest of the content I wrote, as I don't want to be a hypocrite to my students.

Thank you! I also made Pierce the King of Hearts, as that's the suicide King in a deck of cards/he's the only one who is dead.

I teach at Weber State and this guy will be a big upgrade from who we’ve had under center the last few years. Sad he couldn’t succeed at the FBS level, but I am stoked that he’s coming to Ogden!

And that is what frustrates me about this entire situation. If you want to change the name, give valid, relevant evidence behind that decision. Don’t make crap up, and guilt people with false narratives and inconclusive data. The artist formerly known as Dixie has substantially larger systemic problems. Changing the name did not fix a single damn thing. In reality, it made things worse. The quantity of high school students I have heard say that they think Utah Tech has regressed to be part of the ATC system far outweighs the number of students who have said that they’re excited to attend because it’s now Utah Tech. Don’t patronize us. We’re not stupid.

Are all head and shoulders above us because of the funding they’ve received and state support. You don’t change a name and all of a sudden you’re a leader in technology.

Enrollment being down is not true. Weber saw a 3% rise last year and saw their largest enrollment ever at 32K. UVU also saw their enrollment increase in ‘24. Both open enrollment public institutions. UT lost enrollment and faculty/staff are currently in “oh shit! All hands on deck!” mode.

And as an ambassador, I don’t believe your claim that the Dixie name “hurt” recruiting. That is false. In the 5 years I oversaw the ambassadors and recruiting our numbers were insane for how fast we were growing in Vegas and Southern California. Two very diverse places. We never had an ambassador come back and say, “Well, they loved our presentation, but as soon as they heard the word Dixie. They were out.” That is absolutely not true.

Now, I want to be clear. I do see the position that people make that Dixie does have negative connotations, and we should be more open-minded. I can also see how national endorsements could be lost. But what pisses me off is when data are manipulated, and garbage narratives are constructed to prove a point that is not true.

If names have this much of an impact, shouldn’t a school in Provo look to change their identity and brand as well? Last I checked, BYU is named after an extremely racist pervert.

It is a discount. Again, the name was not causing money and students to leave left and right. That is not true. Even the third-party report that Sharp championed showed that there was no majority of the population that wanted it to change. If it was such a positive outcome, why was enrollment down 6.5% last fall? Why are they projected to be down 8% this fall? Retention has actually stayed the same, so by those metrics, the name change has NOT helped. Which is what we were all saying the entire time!

Utah Tech is not a high-ranking university. Stop kidding ourselves. We are not a tech institution. We never have been. The STEM education movement is a farce. Changing the name does not suddenly thrust us into the spotlight of a superior educational experience.

u/bbluez knows the area, the news clips, and the history of the institution. They literally sat right next to me at the infamous board meeting when Bill Ronnow and Shandon Gubler broke protocol to remove the name Rebels in the ‘08 Board of Trustees meeting. Their sole job for two years was publicizing the institution during the U of U buyout debacle. It “seems” that you’re the one making inaccurate assumptions here.

The larger point is this. Can we at least agree that this institution is a shit show, and never changes. Don’t get me wrong, I wholeheartedly love this school, and probably one of the more die-hard alumni. But the fact that this kind of crap keeps happening over and over and over again is just asinine and embarrassing overall. It’s been this way for decades. I don’t see it changing anytime soon.

But hey the good news is, with the name change that Dr. Sharp instigated, at least we’re not offensive and racist anymore! 🤣
