The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) system is getting a new name, or is it?

The St. Paul Pioneer Press reported the public college and university system will be known as Minnesota State. The board of trustees agreed Tuesday that a new name and logo could aid with establishing the reputation of the system’s schools as affordable and quality options.

“For the past year Minnesota State Colleges and Universities has been involved in internal stakeholder consultation regarding brand identity, which may include a shift from “MnSCU” to another identifier.  A presentation on this topic was made to the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Board of Trustees yesterday. said Doug Anderson, communications and media director for the system, in a statement released today,

Consultation on the brand identity is ongoing; a final recommendation is anticipated for June.
