What does SIU-E stand for? Can't think of another school with a "-" in their acronym. Nice work Hawks. Making some progress.

yes Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville, as opposed to Southern Illinois University - Carbondale
Really, never heard of a school with a -?
University of Illinois - Champaign (or Chicago or Springfield)
University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill (or Charlotte, Greensboro, Wilmington, Pembroke, etc)
University of Nebraska- Lincoln (or Omaha)
Ok, maybe stretching it a bit, but that being said, a very common way of differentiating the smaller universities from the "mother university"

I think you missed a "1" in the thread title Jon.
It's hard for everyone to get out of the Lickliter era mentality.
I was telling my niece the same thing, lol, a directional school AND a hyphen. That's the daily double.

The use of hyphens is routine. Wisconsin uses it.
Campuses
There may be a political effort to reform the Regents institutions because of budget problems. The state of Iowa (more specifically students) is paying more than it needs to for administration cost and a need to share instructors among campuses. Marv Pomerentz, now deceased, almost accomplished it in the 90's. Essentially you would have a University of Iowa - IC, ....- Ames, ....- Cedar Falls. Iowa has begun a 4 year degree program in conjunction with DMACC here in Central Iowa.
