In 1991, the former Kansas Technical Institute in [[Salina, Kansas]] was merged with Kansas State University by an act of the Kansas legislature. The College of Technology and Aviation is at the Salina campus. Initially, this campus was referred to as Kansas State University – Salina, but on October 14, 2014, the Kansas Board of Regents approved a name change to Kansas State University Polytechnic Campus.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kansas State University introduces polytechnic campus|url=http://www.k-state.edu/media/newsreleases/oct15/polytechnic101415.html|publisher=Kansas State University|access-date=October 14, 2015|archive-date=December 22, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222104918/http://www.k-state.edu/media/newsreleases/oct15/polytechnic101415.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The campus was again renamed in 2021 to Kansas State University Salina Aerospace and Technology Campus.<ref>{{cite web |title=State gains first aerospace and technology campus with rebranding of Salina campus |url=https://www.k-state.edu/media/newsreleases/2021-08/aerospace-technology-campus82621.html |publisher=Kansas State University |access-date=August 29, 2021 |archive-date=August 27, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210827081729/https://www.k-state.edu/media/newsreleases/2021-08/aerospace-technology-campus82621.html |url-status=live}}</ref>
