SALINA -Kansas State University President Kirk Shultz annunced via Twitter on Wednesday that the name of the Salina campus would change.

The university asked Wednesday to name the Salina campus Kansas State University Polytechnic Campus.

We have initiated the process with the KS Regents to change the name from K-State Salina to K-State Polytechnic – more details to follow!

The Kansas Board of Regents and the state legislature may have to approve the new name.  

New name is reflective of broader set of academic programs https://t.co/YcHuoL1Crp — Kirk H. Schulz (@kstate_pres) September 16, 2015
