Mascot Review Committee recommends
retirement
On Monday, June 18, in what
was deemed an historic meeting,
members of the Mascot Review Committee
voted unanimously to recommend retiring the university's Indian
mascot. The committee, appointed by ASU-Jonesboro Chancellor Dr.
Robert L. Potts to consider the continued use of the Indian mascot,
has completed phase I of its charge. The
resolution adopted by the
committee details the recommendation. Phase II of the committee's work will
include developing an action plan for the implementation of the
mascot change. The committee also voted to recommend that a sports
marketing firm be used to assist in a broad-based process to engage
all university, alumni, and community constituents in the selection of a new
mascot and related imagery.
