MILWAUKEE (AP) - Amid heavy criticism over its new nickname, the Marquette board of trustees decided Wednesday to abandon the name Gold and let students, alumni and faculty vote for a new moniker.
The decision came a week after trustees voted to switch the school's nickname to Gold from the Golden Eagles, which the school took in 1994.
In the last week, people upset about the new name flooded the school with angry phone calls, letters and e-mails.
