I am sure the college has already decided, and it will be changed to Texas A&M Dallas at Commerce.
Weirdly, even though "Texas A&M Dallas at Commerce" is what has been reported, the president said multiple times "I don't know where that name came from. I never said that. It was never in my notes. That's a terrible name." Seems like the "at Commerce" part is not in consideration.
The board of regents meets Aug 1st.They can take action and vote on a name change or choose to delay.Any movement or decision is up to them and the president and chancellor can make requests but but have no authority on the name of the institution. There is a planned website shutdown July 31-Aug 2nd. Many are speculating everything is a foregone conclusion and you'll wake up Aug 3rd with everything on the website rebranded.
I guess we'll find out in a couple weeks whether I have an obsolete diploma ?.
