LAS VEGAS (AP) — As of July 1, Nevada State College could be known as Nevada State University.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that the Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents voted 9-4 Friday to approve the name change.
However, it’s contingent on a change to Nevada law that would create a second-tier teaching university within the state’s system.
Nevada State College President DeRionne Pollard told the regents that a bill on the tier system has been drafted and there is interest in the Legislature.
