Goodbye IPFW....Hello PUFW

[NDSUstudent]

IPFW will soon be no more.

The Purdue Board of Trustees on Friday approved a resolution to change the name of IPFW to Purdue University Fort Wayne (PUFW).
The naming will take effect with the July 1, 2018 realignment of the university, pending the approval of the state's Higher Learning Commission. According to a press release, the campus will be commonly known as "Purdue Fort Wayne."

In its meeting Friday at IPFW, Purdue trustees said the name was selected in part after feedback from an online survey conducted in February. The survey suggested two new names for the school, Purdue University Fort Wayne and Purdue University Northeast.

Whoever made this marketing decision deserves to be caned, tar and feathered, and then fired. Here's the first thing that comes to mind



It's about as smart as this

Better than PUFU I guess.

New mascot could have been "The Munching Doritos".
