Congratulations to Troy State University, or should we say Troy University? It will take a while before those who attended and are familiar with Troy State University to catch on to the idea that "state" has been dropped from the name. The university's trustees voted to change the name. The change takes place in August 2005.
Trustees took the action to boost the university's image. In the article, the Decatur Daily speculates it might be good to rename Athens State University, as well.
