UNLV Won’t Rename or Rebrand Their Rebel Mascot
Political correctness loses this battle, for now:
University of Nevada, Las Vegas President Len Jessup said Monday that the school will not be abandoning its “Rebels” nickname, though he did endorse updating the mascot.
In a statement posted on the school’s website, Jessup announced that he had arrived at the decision after reviewing a report compiled by Chief Diversity Officer Dr. Rainier Spencer—which found overwhelming student support for both the nickname and mascot— in response to concerns that the name might be considered offensive.
