University of North Texas#Traditions

The University of North Texas's main campus is located in Denton, a city of approximately 170,000 in the northern part of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the United States. As the flagship of the University of North Texas System, UNT has steadily expanded its physical presence since 1975, when it acquired a medical school in Fort Worth.

In 1981, the medical school was reorganized as a separate institution under the UNT Board of Regents.{{Sfn|DRC, Hopkins, Dec. 8,|1974|loc=pp. 1 & 2}} In 2009, the University of North Texas at Dallas became the system's second stand-alone university, and that same year, the Texas Legislature approved the creation of the University of North Texas at Dallas College of Law, which opened in 2014 in Downtown Dallas. The UNT System itself was established by the board of regents in 1980 and formally recognized by the 78th Legislature in 2003.

In 2004, UNT opened Discovery Park in Denton, a {{convert|300|acre|km2|sing=on}} research and technology campus located five miles (8 km) north of the main campus. It houses facilities focused on science, engineering, and innovation. In 2011, the College of Visual Arts and Design opened the Design Research Center in Dallas's Design District.{{Sfn|UNT News: Jan. 31,|2011|p=}}

To extend access to its academic and research programs, UNT Denton established a satellite campus in Frisco, a rapidly developed city in the northern Dallas–Fort Worth area known for its corporate and educational infrastructure. Frisco is located approximately 30 miles (48 km) north of Downtown Dallas and 25 miles (40 km) east of Denton. In 2018, UNT at Frisco opened Inspire Park and now serves about 2,000 students each semester across several Frisco and Collin County sites, including Hall Park and the Collin Higher Education Center in McKinney.{{Sfn|UNT News: May 1,|2018|p=}} In 2020, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the development of a new UNT branch campus on a {{convert|100|acre|km2|sing=on}} site donated by the City of Frisco.

In 1976, the Carnegie Foundation designated North Texas as a "Class 1 Doctorate-Granting Institution." Four decades later, in February 2016, it was reclassified as a Doctoral University with "Highest Research Activity."{{Sfn|North Texan, Spring|2016|loc=p. 6 (col. 1)}} This places UNT in the top tier of U.S. research institutions, known informally as "R1" universities.

In 1992, UNT was elected to full membership in the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities, reflecting its status as a public research university.{{Sfn|Commercial Appeal, Oct. 19,|1992|p=B6}}{{efn|group=lower-alpha|Although the Association includes land-grant institutions, UNT is not one.}} In 2011, it was designated an Emerging Research Institution by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

In 2020, the university received dual federal designations from the U.S. Department of Education as a Minority-Serving Institution (MSI) and a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), making it eligible for federal grants under Titles III and V of the Higher Education Act.{{Sfn|UNT News: May 15,|2020|p=}}

In 2023, the State of Texas launched the Texas University Fund (TUF), a $3.9 billion endowment providing $100 million annually to four designated research universities, including UNT. The fund supports their efforts to reach the highest ranks of national research institutions.{{Sfn|DRC, Breeding-Gonzales, Nov. 7,|2023|loc=}}

UNT's mascot, the American eagle, was adopted on February 1, 1922, as a result of a student-faculty council debate and ensuing student election.{{Sfn|UNT: "Faculty & Staff"||p=}}

The eagle has had two nicknames, beginning with "Scrappy" in 1950.{{Sfn|DMN, Nov. 14,|1950|loc=p. 8 (sect. I)}} The green and white human costumed eagle character, launched in 1963, carried the name "Scrappy" until 1974—during the throes of the Vietnam War—when students adopted the name "Eppy" because it sounded less warlike. Since then, the name has switched back from Eppy to Scrappy; and for the last {{Cardinal to word|{{age|format=raw|1995|09|09}}}} years, the name "Scrappy" has endured.{{Sfn|UNT: "Scrappy"}}

The name "Mean Green," now in its {{ordinal to word|{{age|format=raw|1966|11|20}}}} year, was adopted by fans and media in 1966 for a North Texas football defensive squad that finished the season second in the nation against the rush.{{Sfn|DRC, Sep. 21,|1967|p=10}} That season, Joe Greene,{{Sfn|DRC, Aug. 30,|1967|p=13}}{{Sfn|Fowler, February 16,|1992|p=6D}} then a sophomore at North Texas, played left defensive tackle on the football team and competed in track and field (shot put). The nickname "Mean Joe Greene" caught-on during his first year with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969 when Pittsburgh fans wrongly assumed that "Mean Green" was derived from a nickname Joe Greene had inherited while at North Texas. The North Texas athletic department, media, and fans loved the novelty of the national use of its nickname, and its association with Joe Greene's surname and university's official school color. By 1968, "Mean Green" was branded on the backs of shirts, buttons, bumper stickers, and the cover of the North Texas football brochure.{{Sfn|Cochran, Sep. 1,|1968|loc=p. 2 (sect. D)}}

Francis Edwin Stroup, EdD (1909–2010),{{Sfn|Jaquel Cattell Press,|1971|p=920}}{{Sfn|Jaquel Cattell Press,|1974|p=}} emerged in 1939—ten years after graduating from North Texas—as the winning composer (lyrics and music) of a university sponsored fight song competition organized by Floyd Graham.{{Sfn|DRC, Jun. 25,|1950|loc=p. 1 (sect. 2)}} He taught summers at North Texas from 1939 to 1942. The song, "Fight, North Texas," has endured for {{Cardinal to word|{{age|format=raw|1939|09|01}}}} years and the lyrics have changed minimally to reflect the name changes of the university. While serving as an associate professor at the University of Wyoming from 1946 to 1950, Stroup rewrote the lyrics for the chorus to "Ragtime Cowboy Joe," which was adopted in 1961 as the university's fight song. After serving as head of the Physical Education Department at Southern Arkansas University from 1950 to 1959, Stroup became Professor of Physical Education at Northern Illinois University. While there, Stroup rewrote the lyrics to the chorus of Alonzo Neil Annas' (1882–1966) NIU "Loyalty Song" (1942), which was informally adopted in 1961 and officially 1963 as the "Huskie Fight Song."{{Sfn|Daily Chronicle, Herra, Sep. 7,|2009|p=}}{{Sfn|Daily Chronicle, Schott, Dec. 3,|2010|loc=p. 3}}{{Sfn|North Texan, Fall|2008|loc=}}{{Sfn|NIU Today, Dec. 1,|2010|p=}}{{Sfn|Studwell & Schueneman,|2013|p=29}} Stroup also composed songs for Drake University and the University of Chicago. A collegiate academician who played piano mostly by ear and neither majored nor worked in music, Stroup lived to be 101, a number exceeding the songs he composed by one digit. Stroup was inducted in the Halls of Fame of Northern Illinois University and the University of North Texas (1987).

In 1919, Julia Smith (1905–1989), while a music student, and Charles Kirby Langford (1903–1931), then a third-year letterman on the football team and an outstanding overall athlete, composed "Glory to the Green and White" which was adopted as the school's alma mater in 1922.

In 2008, the university became the first large public university in Texas to sign the "American College and University President's Climate Commitment" (ACUPCC). {{as of|2012|September}}, twenty-four of the 658 signatory institutions of higher learning were from Texas. Of those twenty-four, five were full undergraduate-graduate institutions (2 private, 3 public). Of those five, UNT was the largest. The objectives include achieving carbon neutrality by 2040 and ensuring that all new university buildings and facilities meet a minimum Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver rating by the U.S. Green Building Council{{Sfn|DRC, Feb. 13,|2012|loc=(blog)}} The university continued to promote sustainability in 2017 when it purchased a year worth of renewable energy credits, to allow the University of North Texas to be powered by renewable energy.{{Sfn|NT Daily, Apr. 6,|2017|p=2}}

The Life Science Complex, built in 2011, became UNT's first LEED certified structure, earning a Gold rating. The Complex is a state-of-the-art research facility that houses the university's biochemistry, molecular biology, developmental physiology, genetics and plant sciences programs. The building features four climate-controlled rooftop greenhouses and one of the country's most sophisticated aquatics laboratories with more than 2,500 tanks. Also in 2011, DATCU Stadium, the {{Cardinal to word|{{age|format=raw|2011|09|10}}}}-year-old football stadium, became the first newly built sports stadium in the nation to earn a Platinum LEED certification, the highest of four certifications.{{Sfn|DRC, Vito, October 21,|2011|loc=(blog)}} The facility features wind turbines, eco-friendly building materials, and native landscape architecture.

The following year, The Princeton Review's Guide to 322 Green Colleges, 2012 Edition, listed UNT for the second consecutive year, citing its top 17-percent ranking among green-compliant universities nationwide under ACUPCC. The article stated that forty percent of the energy on campus is derived from renewable sources, and 43 percent of the buildings have undergone energy retrofits. The campus has posted strong numbers in recycling: since 2009, the university has recycled nearly 1,000 tons of waste materials. UNT offers graduate degrees in Environmental Science and Public Administration and Management.{{Sfn|Princeton Review's Guide, 2012 ed.||p=164}}{{Sfn|Princeton Review's Guide, 2013 ed.||p=154}}
