University of New Zealand - Other Use of The Name

Other Use of The Name

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, founded in 1984, used The University of New Zealand as an English translation of its name, although it had no connection with the former University. After objections from bodies such as the New Zealand Vice-Chancellors' Committee (the heads of the universities) and the Ministry of Education over illegal use of a protected word (in this case, university) and thus possible misleading advertising, the effective co-branding of the wānanga was phased out. The institution is formally registered as a wānanga, one of five types of Crown-owned tertiary institutions under New Zealand law — the others being universities, colleges of education, specialist colleges, and polytechnics.

Famous quotes containing the words use, the and/or name:

    ... it is use, and use alone, which leads one of us, tolerably trained to recognize any criterion of grace or any sense of the fitness of things, to tolerate ... the styles of dress to which we are more or less conforming every day of our lives. Fifty years hence they will seem to us as uncultivated as the nose-rings of the Hottentot seem today.
    Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

    Whist Partner: Great Caesar’s Ghost. A woman! In the Club.
    Phileas Fogg: My dear, I must ask you to leave these precincts at once. No woman has ever set foot in the Club.
    Aouda: Why not?
    Phileas Fogg: Because that could spell the end of the British Empire.
    James Poe (1921–1980)

    What is it? a learned man
    Could give it a clumsy name.
    Let him name it who can,
    The beauty would be the same.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
