A name change last summer may have relegated Dixie State University to the history books, but “Dixie” and higher education still endure in southern Utah’s largest city just a few miles down the road.
Dixie State University changed its name last year but Dixie Technical College is just down the street.| Jan. 30, 2023, 1:00 p.m.A name change last summer may have relegated Dixie State University to the history books, but “Dixie” and higher education still endure in southern Utah’s largest city.
Apparently, that is fine with most school administrators, students and St. George-area residents, who told The Tribune this week they don’t give the matter much thought. Unlike the situation at Utah Tech, Dixie Technical College’s name is certainly not a bone of contention in the community between differing camps that would wish to retain or change it.
That growth and the increasing selection and caliber of the programs are what’s important to school President Jordan Rushton. If college administrators and students haven’t given the matter much thought, some state legislators and education officials have, at least a little bit. Dixie State University’s name became a hot-button issue in 2020 in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd and with the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement. Proponents of the name change argued the word “Dixie” evoked images of the Confederacy and white supremacy. Opponents contended leaving “Dixie” in the title honored the area’s heritage.
