<p>Renaming the University of Pennsylvania to Wharton University would accomplish numerous strategic goals of the University:</p>

<p>-Consolidate the University’s brand under a single moniker
-Eliminate confusion with Penn State and being a state school in general
-Leverage the University’s strongest brand name for the benefit of the entire University
-No more “Penn not UPenn” hysterics
-It’s got a nice ring to it</p>

<p>Yes, we can change our name. We’ve already changed it 3 times in the course of our history. Hell we even changed the date we decided we were founded.</p>

<p>lol............</p>

<p>well wouldn't it technically just be Wharton College if it offers only one school?</p>

4

<p>Apparently it's too much for you to distinguish between renaming and eliminating.</p>

<p>Wharton University would be home to Wharton College, Wharton Business, Wharton Law, Wharton Med, etc...</p>

5

<p>lol, that's an interesting idea. let's do it.</p>

<p>i'm all for Franklin University, personally</p>

<p>well JohnnyK, apparently u are a genius in ur own regard, but I meant it as in the point of why would u rename a whole university if it was going to be named for the business school.</p>

<p>seems pretty dumb in my opinion....they should prolly make it an all business school really...cuz thats the only thing people know about Penn. Wharton. And dont get me started with the Penn State crap too</p>

11

<p>People discuss this on the penn forum every admissions year.</p>

<p>I've allways been for Franklin University btw...
John Harvard--> Harvard University
Benjamin Franklin--> Franklin University</p>

<p>And we all know that Benjamin Franklin >> John Harvard</p>

12

<p>I don't see why this concept is so difficult for you to grasp the idea that the school is not named after the business school. From that point on it is the name of the entire university, named after a wealthy benefactor in who donated enough to start a new school in 1881.</p>

<p>The payoff for a few years of confusion is spectacular.</p>

13

<p>Although I'm applying to Wharton I'm still proud of Penn, if I was only able to go to Upenn (using both names) I would be perfectly happy and honored.</p>

14

<p>Franklin University sounds good to me...the chances that the name gets changed in the near future are very low.</p>

15

<p>Bad Idea. Wharton's brand name is not currently better than Penn's. Think of law and medicine. Wharton holds no name value there.</p>

16

<p>Who the eff cares about changing the name? What's wrong with it now?</p>

<p>not enought asian girls</p>

<p>I am always right. I don't know why this is up for debate.</p>
