History[edit]

Fresno State was founded as the Fresno State Normal School in 1911 with Charles Lourie McLane as its first president.[14] The original campus was what is now Fresno City College. In 1956, Fresno State moved its campus to its present location in the northeast part of the city and FCC bought the old campus and moved back in.[15] It became Fresno State College in 1949, when it was authorized to grant bachelor's degrees. It became a charter institution of the California State University System in 1961. In 1972 the name was officially changed to California State University, Fresno.[14]

Campus[edit]

The greater campus extends from Bulldog Stadium on the west boundary to Highway 168 on the east side. The University Agricultural Laboratory designates the northern boundary of the campus, while Shaw Avenue designates the southern edge.

The 388 acres (157 ha) main campus features more than 46 traditional and modern buildings. An additional 34 structures are on the 1,011 acre University Agricultural Laboratory (The "Farm"), used for agronomic and horticulture crops, equine, swine, beef, dairy, poultry, and sheep units as well as several hundred acres of cattle rangeland. Fresno State was officially designated as an arboretum in 1979 and now has more than 3200 trees on campus. Fresno State operates the first university-based commercial winery in the United States.

It also is the largest academic building on the Fresno State campus.[17] The five-story building features seating areas for almost 4,000 people, group study rooms, wireless access and a Starbucks.[18]

ROTC[edit]

Two branches of the military are represented on campus at Fresno State: Army and Air Force. The Army unit on campus is known as the Bulldog Battalion.[61] The Air Force ROTC Detachment on campus, Detachment 35, is one of the oldest in the nation. Founded in 1948, only one year after the signing of the National Defense Act of 1947 which established the U.S. Air Force as a separate branch of the military, Detachment 35 has won numerous awards.[62] In July 2008, Detachment 35 was awarded the "High Flight" award, naming it the top mid-sized detachment in the entire southwest region of the United States. Just a few months later, Detachment 35 was named best mid-sized detachment in the nation and awarded the "Right of Line" award, the highest honor for a detachment.[63]

Controversies[edit]

Professor Randa Jarrar, after the death of Barbara Bush, described the former first lady as a "racist" and wrote "fuck outta here with your nice words."[64] Jarrar wrote later that "I'm happy the witch is dead".[65][66] Social media erupted with fury, with numerous people calling for her to be fired from the university.[67] Jarrar said she will "never be fired" because of her tenured position.[67][68] Tenure is supposed to provide teachers with freedom of speech.[67] While there was speculation in the university's administration about what to do, a report in the Washington Post suggested that "she may be right" that she could not be fired.[67] The university's president, Joseph Castro, said in a news conference that officials were reviewing the facts and that even a professor with tenure does not have "blanket permission" to say anything that they wish to say.[67] The controversy focused national attention on the issue of free speech on college campuses.[69][70]

Alumni[edit]
