    Oregon Graduate Institute, which offers a online MS in Management in Science and Technology, will merge with Oregon Health Sciences University. Guess what's the name of the new university?

    Oregon Health & Science University.

    Sounds good?

    No! Eewww! They have gotta be able to do better than that. Columbia University is already taken... Cascade University.

    As I understand it, OGI is private while OHSU is state run, being the former U. of Oregon medical school in Portland, spun off to be an independent state university. So I wonder what this new OH&SU will be.

    A sort-of-state university?

    I guess the new one will still be state-run.

    Also, I think the reason for such name change is because OHSU is already a brand name in Medical/Health subject. OHSU ranks No. 2 in US in primary care according to US News. And it leads in many other areas.
