On June 4, 2021, San Diego State University President Adela de la Torre eliminated the Aztec Warrior without the consultation of the alumni, faculty and staff, student body or community. The decision comes as a surprise and was not announced to the public except through a brief statement on her website that said, "We are also now retiring the Aztec spirit leader, and are retiring warrior-related imagery related to the human representation."
As supporters of SDSU, we are terribly disappointed and are focused on overturning this decision and returning to the two decade long process of working collaboratively through an open and transparent process that seeks input from all members of our SDSU community.
