Earlier in the week, both KUHF-88.7 and the Chronicle reported that University of Houston-Downtown officials would like to change the institution’s name.
Some ideas that have been tossed out include Houston International University, Gulf Coast University and Houston University.
It’s all well and good that UH-D officials want more glamor than “Downtown” offers. However, since the university is to remain a part of the University of Houston system, shouldn’t the University of Houston remain part of the name (even if Downtown is replaced)?
