In response to LoCo2011
I am going to talk out of both sides of my mouth on this.
On one hand, I would prefer they keep it Loyola College. I think the name is catchy, and given there are already three Loyola Universities in the U.S. it makes us somewhat distinctive. Joe Sellinger's argument was always that while we are technically a university, the "Loyola College" name is a better marketing name. And I think I agree with them.
That said, I find it humerous that they think changing the name would make any difference, or be worth the cost in changed signage/letterhead/etc. I doubt anyone is going to see the change and say "Wow, Loyola is now Loyola University. I suppose the change reflects their current circumstances and status as a comprehensive university."
To be honest if they are going to through this process I would rather them not go half way. Instead perhaps consider changing their name away from Loyola to something where we could stand alone.
Maybe we could merge with the girl's school next door and take their name. That would eliminate confusion, eh? 
Jesus loves me.
I don't give a f--- what the rest of you think. |
