I personally didn't really like this name change, but it was done to "better reflect the geographic location the students represent == shrugs==
All the University of California are University of California at (city) but that is a completely different system. =)

slightly off-topic, but i have this argument with my boss ALL THE TIME. are there levels of "prestige" within the UC system? For example, UCLA and Berkeley are pretty up there, and others are... not? My boss says theyre all the same cause theye state schools (to which i say, well they all have their own administration and student bodies). but then he says all the SUNY schools (NY's state school system) are different because theyre "in different locations."
clearly hes an idiot - but i will say, IMO, the SUNYs dont have much prestige amongst each other (though im sure Albany, Binghamton and Buffalo, Old West and Stonybrook get more play than say, SUNY Plattsburgh, Onieda and Potsdam)
side note: this is why it would piss me off when the actors on
Felicity would refer to NYU as "University of NY," cause umm... NYU =/= SUNY.
