The council of Victoria University of Wellington “has agreed in principle” to change its name to the University of Wellington. But, “the draft decision also includes a commitment to the ongoing use of the word Victoria to ensure its heritage is honoured and maintained.” The reason for a change is to end confusion with other unis with Victoria in their name (like VU in Melbourne). But how will they include “Victoria”? Perhaps not, “University of Wellington, Victoria.”
