Marquette University's Athletics Nickname Survey Results: Conclusions If Marquette University were to change its athletics nickname back to Warriors, about one in five respondents agree that it would appear the university was inconsistent or “wishy-washy” or was being “bought.” About one in 10 respondents see the change as a step backwards relative to Marquette’s current goals of promoting diversity. Alumni were less likely than the other three groups to agree that it would appear as though Marquette University was inconsistent or wishy-washy (15% alumni vs. 29% students, 44% faculty, 45% staff); that Marquette was being bought (14% alumni vs. 29% students, 54% faculty, 47% staff); or that Marquette was taking a step backwards in regards to diversity (7% alumni vs. 16% students, 40% faculty, 34% staff.)
