Re: It's Championship, Not Nationals

Here's a perspective that I look from -
I've been involved with the university where I work for 25 years. Departmental names can change and change again and change again and then - return to their original name. Office names can change. We changed ours several years ago because the original name was causing confusion. Websites change/ update/stay current with the latest information (or should) - so they can promote the university - accurately and efficiently. One of the first changes that occurs when a staff person receives a title change, is a new order of business cards with the correct title. We work on an international level and we have a reputation that we value, market, and promote. As much as possible, everyone throughout the university and its branches, tries very hard to work together to promote the vision, the goals, and the mission of this educational institution. This includes its events.

Some traditional names can take a while to change, that is true, and depending on the impact or lack of - on the scope of the mission - depends on the amount of effort and expenditure put forth to push for the change.
