There's a pretty big hint in President Williams' comment:

"As DSU begins implementing our new strategic plan, it is important the university's name is befitting of a polytechnic-focused institution and will help us recruit, maintain and graduate the best and brightest students."

My guess is they will follow the Cal Poly model (result: "Utah Polytechnic State University) or Virginia Tech model (result: "Utah Polytechnic Institute and State University") and brand themselves as Utah Poly or Utah Tech for short.

Given the closeness of St. George to FLDS areas in Southern Utah/Arizona Strip and the Mormon history, I would think they'd want to avoid the term "Poly" at all costs...

LOL!
