Name pain for little gain at Charles Sturt U

Over the summer Charles Sturt U management told staff it wants to change the university’s name to (fanfare, if you please) Sturt University ( CMM Jan 14). But now hot off the rumour-mill comes a suggestion that the university is printing stationery under its selected new name – Wiradjuri U. The oldest CSU campuses are on the homelands of the  Indigenous Australian Wiradjuri nation.

The university is strongly denying this, which is bound to lead to questions what’s wrong with the name Wiradjuri.  It’s a lot of grief to delete “Charles”.
