A Mississippi university tries again to drop 'Women' from its name

Leaders of Mississippi University for Women made a new proposal Tuesday to shed the school's gender-specific name in a way they hope will be accepted by alumni who fondly call their alma mater “The W.” The public institution would become Wynbridge State University of Mississippi and would still market itself as “The W," if legislators approve the plan. The name change would happen July 1.
