yeah, well, they didn't really select very good names from the start, plus ALOT of people are fairly ingnorant to the whole name issue. For example, cordival does have a meaning, i can't exactly remember what, but it's really really poor latin, they don't use "d" that way, the proper latin spelling of the word is actually the name of a university in washington, how good would it look to have graduated with a degree in english from a university that doesn't seem to know how to use latin.....Also, we couldn't have added "BC" to the end of our name period, because it infringes on the UBC trade mark, and considering martha piper, the head of ubc, is the second most powerful woman in bc, i really don't think there's much arguing with her, she's really pissed they used it for UNBC. On top of the fact that we have several campuses in other towns like williams lake for example there was no way to use kamloops in the name or such, the name they picked still isn't truly representative but they didn't have all that much to work with. In the end there are deadlines and priorites and UCC was a fairly respected place to attain a degree from prior to the name change, i don't see the name changing that fact, and really that's all that matters is the prestige of the institue you graduate from holds.
