LAS VEGAS — The Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents on Friday voted 9-4 to approve a name change for Nevada State College.
The new name — Nevada State University — would take effect on July 1. It’s contingent on a change to Nevada law that would create a “second-tier teaching university” within the state’s system, according to the approved motion.
A bill on the tier system has been drafted, and there is interest in the Legislature, Nevada State College President DeRionne Pollard told the regents.
