In 1946, a senior division was added and it was renamed Hardin College. In January 1950, the name changed to Midwestern University, with the junior college division remaining Hardin Junior College. In March 1948, the university became a member of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. In January 1959, the university added a graduate school which received full approval from the State Board of Education in August of that year.[5]

A further change in the school's status came September 1, 1961, when by action of the 56th session of the Texas State Legislature, Midwestern University was transferred from the city of Wichita Falls to the Texas Colleges and Universities System and the junior college division was dissolved. In 1975, the Texas Legislature changed the name to Midwestern State University.[5]

From its beginnings as a municipal junior college housed in a high school building, Midwestern has become a state university whose campus of 255 acres and 70 buildings offers a wide variety of academic programs in liberal and fine arts, mathematics, sciences, business, and applied sciences.[5]

On March 9, 2015, the university announced that Suzanne Shipley was selected to become its next president, following Jesse Rogers' retirement after 48 years of service to the school.[6]

On December 13, 2016, the university broke ground on a new campus in Flower Mound, Texas. The two-story facility shares space with North Central Texas College and opened in June 2018.[7]

Controversies

[edit]
  • Since 2018 several incidents of racially-motivated vandalism and harassment have been reported at Midwestern State University.[34][35][36] The university administration has been repeatedly criticized by students of color for its handling of such incidents, as well as for its perceived indifference to issues facing racial minorities more generally.[37]
  • In 2018 the Midwestern State University faced widespread criticism from students in response to the administration's perceived indifference to sexual harassment and violence on campus.[38][39][40][41] A university administrator reportedly made a rape joke at a campus forum intended to discuss the issue.[42]
  • In 2019 a Midwestern State University graduate student was publicly outed as a white supremacist.[43] The university was roundly criticized for its handling of the ensuing controversy.[44]
  • In 2020 Midwestern State University was widely and publicly criticized for its response to a right-wing harassment campaign that had been directed against former philosophy professor Nathan Jun in response to controversial Facebook posts.[45][46][47] The following year the university was again criticized for allegedly forcing Jun to resign his tenured position by denying him a requested disability accommodation.[48][49][50] The allegation prompted an open letter of protest [51][52] that was eventually signed by more than 500 faculty members.[53][third-party source needed]
