Southwest University - Louisiana

Anybody has information on this university?

http://www.southwest.edu/

Is it a legitimate university?

 

Hi MFH: Check the thread called "Sheriff with a 'degree' from Southwest" in this forum. Also, use the search function (top right area of screen) to look for other threads and posts about Southwest. This should give you a fair bit of information. Several posters are quite knowledgeable about this school (I'm not), so please re-post with any questions you still have after checking the other threads. Best of luck to you.

 

Southwest University in Louisiana.

Geographically challenged? I would suspect that any school that does not actually know where it is located is suspect.

 

Originated in Arizona, located in the soutwestern part of the U.S.

John: As I was saying to a friend from Cincinnati, "Queen City of the West," who used to live in Indiana, one of the participant states in Western Governors University, isn't it interesting that the North Central accrediting association has jurisdiction over Arizona, home of Northcentral University.

Go Utah Jazz.

PS: Southwest University started up in Arizona; they chose not to change the name when they moved to Louisiana which, in 1805, was in the southwest corner of the United States. (They didn't use that argument, however.)

 

Other moved franchises whose names no longer made sense:

Memphis Grizzlies (originally in Vancouver)
K.C-Omaha Royals (now Sacramento Kings, originally from the Queen City, Cincinnati)
Tennessee Oilers (now the Titans)
Milwaukee-then-Atlanta Braves (originally in Boston)
Anaheim Angels (nee: Los Angeles Angels)
Cleveland Browns (founder Paul Brown ousted, then helped create the Cincinnati Bengals)

And the one that almost happened: The Washington (D.C.) Padres! Topps printed up baseball cards and everything. The franchise was teetering on insolvency--it's owner, C. Arnholt Smith, already was--when it was saved at the last minute by McDonald's mogul Ray Kroc.

And the nominee for the most apt change: The WFL's Toronto Northmen moved to Memphis to become the "Southmen." (And after the 1975 season, the Grizzlies, but the league folded before they played any games under that name.)

 

...and the finest team name of all, the hockey team called
The Macon Whoopies
has now moved elsewhere, and presumably the name has changed or will.

 

The Decatur Staleys was a pretty good name, too.
Not to mention the Toledo Mud Hens.

 

The LA Lakers had to have come from Minnesota. I don't really know. Basketball is something junior high girls play up here.
