The University of Bradford and Bradford College are merging, and £20,000 (about $31,000) was spent paying consultants to name the new college. The three names they came up with: Bradford University, University of Bradford and The University of Bradford. And I agree with someone quoted in the BBC article: A six-year old could’ve come up with these names. I’d much rather see that money go to the school’s general scholarship fund than to lining the pocketbooks of over-paid “researchers.” Students of the University/college/whatever aren’t too happy with it either (thanks Neil).

Tell me about it. This is the university I go to, and part of that money will have probably come from my tuition fees…
If you ever visit the campu, never say the word ‘merger’ – it makes people break out into hot sweats.
