## Resource

The University of New Orleans has officially rebranded as LSU New Orleans, marking a historic return to its 1956 roots after a decade-long departure. Despite the name change, the school keeps its beloved Privateers nickname — no Tigers here. The move follows a rocky financial past, including furloughs and building closures, rescued by a $20 million state bailout. Now, with a fresh start and big enrollment goals of 6,000 students this fall, the university is positioning itself as a major economic engine for New Orleans — all while keeping tuition competitive to attract out-of-state students. A ceremonial rebranding kicked off Wednesday morning, signaling a bold new chapter for the institution.
