<p>ok I don't care about this any more, it's no longer an issue for my family. </p>
<p>But all I'm saying is, given actual functional situation on the ground, and the formal relation as affiliate, not unrelated college, and not really, truly actually an independent college, in reality,whatever has been technically set up there to make it appear nominally independent, and the fact that the schools are in substance highy integrated,</p>
<p>there are going to be people who, after receiving a diploma that says what's written in post #81, believe what it says, and think that they are entitled by virtue of same, given the context, to write Columbia U.</p>
<p>Maybe they are wrong. Maybe they are not wrong. But because it says that, there will be people who will think it's ok and keep doing it. Perhaps deludedly so, perhaps not. But the only way to avoid having some people thinking it's ok to do it, if they are deluded and confused by what they are given per post # 81, </p>
<p>is to stop giving it to them.</p>
<p>Then there will be no longer be any confusion on the point and it will immediately stop.</p>
<p>That's mostly what I am saying. Not so much whether they are wrong to think it,or right. Justified or not. If they are given something that says what that says, there will continue to be people, rightly or wrongly, that believe it's ok to say it, and then do so.</p>
<p>That will only stop if they stop getting it.
Whether they are misled, or correct.</p>
<p>Over and out. Thank goodness we no longer need to care about this.</p>
