Administrators are considering changing the university’s name for the sixth time in its 114-year history to clear up confusion about Texas State’s San Marcos and Round Rock campuses.

The administration has asked the Texas Legislature to change the institution’s official name from Texas State University-San Marcos to Texas State University. Provost Eugene Bourgeois said existing confusion with the university’s name stems from the fact some people may think the Round Rock Higher Education Center is a second branch of Texas State.

Bourgeois said the administration wants the legislature to make it clear Texas State is one university with two campuses. He said dropping “-San Marcos” from the university’s name isn’t an effort to avoid Texas State being seen as a regional school.

“The name change doesn’t have to do with anything like that,” Bourgeois said. “This is simply to eliminate confusion.”

The legislature will have to amend the Texas Education Code to eliminate “-San Marcos” from the university’s name. The code is a set of state statutes governing public education in Texas. Robert Gratz, special assistant to the university president, said the Board of Regents decided during its November meeting to permit the university to work with the legislature to amend the code.

Gratz said introducing a bill to the legislature would be the next step, and if approved the school’s name will be changed.

Gratz said the school’s official name, “Texas State University-San Marcos,” is used on legal documents, but in most publications the institution is already referred to as Texas State University.

The original reason the San Marcos was even added was because they dreamed that the other schools in the TSUS would follow suit and be "Texas State - wherever" but those schools were having none of it. It was kind of forced on us by a particular legislator.

As no other school is ever going to do this it just makes sense to drop it.
