While discussion continues here at UMR about the merits of changing our university’s name, I’m becoming more interested in how other public institutions are dealing with organizational change. This story about what’s going on in New Jersey caught my eye. Lawmakers in the Garden State are studying the feasibility of merging three campus — Rutgers, the New Jersey Institute of Technology and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
I wonder what they’d call the new institution? One lawmakers suggests the University of Newark. That’s certainly shorter than something like the Rutgers University of Medicine, Dentistry and Technology.
