It’s not uncommon at all. Georgia and I believe Ole Miss have one as well. Are those run by the university or by Alumni associations? I am curious if a State tax funded school can run a for profit business?
Didn't Troy drop State from its name because it's not funded that much by the state? I could be misremembering that...

My understanding was with the global campuses and military base campuses they felt "State" didn't reflect the University system. They are still funded by the state as is every other public university

TROY University receives approximately 20% of their total overall budget from state funds. And yes, TROY wanted to get away from the perception of being funded by the state rather than merely supported.

My understanding was with the global campuses and military base campuses they felt "State" didn't reflect the University system. They are still funded by the state as is every other public university The change was made because the Board of Regents felt that "State" was to restrictive, to 'regional' and thought was that there would be much more opportunity for Federal Grants and Research monies if that connotation was removed. It was also at this time that the state decided to drastically cut funding. By re-branding it was felt that this was a better direction for more federal dollars, since we would be losing state dollars. That is the conversation that I had with Dr. J and others at that time. Now, as far as getting a hotel on campus, to be run by our alumni affairs staff - just go ahead and put down the pipe, you don't need anymore of whatever it is you are smoking!! JMHO See how I got us right back on topic - NEED SOME POINTS FOR TRANSITIONING BACK here???!!! Where is the love???

Bulldoze the Chinese Warrior Statues and build a DoubleTree!!! I finally went and took a look at those at the spring game. Well... I can't exactly say if it is better than the large vegetative hole that used to be there. At least its now harder to dump a dead body in that location.
