Utah’s Dixie

REMOVING DIXIE = UTAH'S SURRENDER TO CANCEL CULTURE

To Our Friends In Northern Utah: UPDATE FROM DIXIE: We now have a compeng name for Dixie State University and the bale is on: It’s "DIXIE" vs. “TECH”

You were probably expecng something more creave or dynamic from our State's cancel culture enthusiasts, but this is it. We are not kidding. A�er many months of supposed research, surveys, focus groups, commiee on top of commiee meengs at the university, and lots of our State tax dollars, this is the best they could do, merely “Utah Tech University.” We know what you are thinking; a real down grade, a tech school that sounds like a vocaonal school. This is also similar to the former name of Utah Valley University (UVU) back in the 60s and 70s when it was the “Tech.” Our view is that Utah Tech simply does not cut it.

Tech is an old concept. As you already know, technology is now implicit and presumed in all educaon from K-12 through all levels of university study and across most academic disciplines. To us in Utah's Dixie, the ancs of the university’s leadership is both sad and embarrassing. The Tech train has long since le� the staon, and Tech is similar to the already failed name “Polytechnic” that leadership just recently admied was an “epic failure.” Tech it is a dated and outmoded name and concept. It is as if they just discovered the Smart phone without knowing that it’s been around for over 20 years. It suggests desperaon more than ordered, well-thought-out planning.

We believe the main impetus behind this drive to “cancel the Dixie name at all costs,” may ulmately rest with deep convicons of wokeness among a few of the more liberal persuasion within Higher-Ed in this State, who have in effect mandated to the President and his staff at the university to get this done. The university leadership's pursuit of a strategy allowing the implicaon of extreme racism in our present day Dixie community and the claim that graduates suddenly can't get jobs due to the Dixie name are just insincere tools to achieve their preplanned result – all to sasfy the cricism of the out-of-state liberal educaon establishment instead of serving the students at Dixie.

We ask you to help us stop this great misfortune in Utah's Dixie. This is not just a Southern Utah issue. Your State Representave and Senator in Northern Utah will soon be called up to vote for or against the Tech name. In this era where cancel culture and wokeness are infecng our culture, our schools, and society; we need your help to fight back against it. Please take the me to call, text, or email your own legislators to do the following:

· First, stand strong against the cancel culture movement (the cancellaon of the Dixie name is Utah's surrender to the cancel culture); · Second, vote against the name Utah Tech University because Tech is an unimaginave, bland, dull, regressive, and outmoded term. · Third, keep the Dixie State name. The newly proposed Tech name fails miserably against a me-tested 100+ year old brand that represents one of the fastest growing and most successful instuons of Higher-Ed in the state (you don't switch a name when you're on a very successful roll).

Very Simply, Yes to DIXIE, No to TECH! There are those moments when we must stand up for our history (good and bad), our heritage, our culture, and tradions. This is that me!

WE ASK YOU AND YOUR LEGISLATORS TO STAND WITH UTAH'S DIXIE!
