West Conn mascot could be replaced

Chuck the Colonial, the West Conn mascot could soon be history.  University President Dr John Clark says some Western Connecticut State University students and alumni asked for the current mascot to be replaced and they have been heard.  The Student Government Association, the organization Speak Truth to Power, and the university will begin a student-driven process to find a new mascot.  The Facebook post from yesterday evening announcing the change drew over 200 comments just hours later, with some asking where the money will come from for the rebranding.  Others say it will take too long to get through the Board of Regents approval process.
