"University of the People" and "Goucher" aren't really comparable in the Ridiculous School Name stakes. UoP is more like "The School of Hard Knocks" or "The University of Life." The things people who didn't go to college put under "Education" on their Facebook profile. It was a stupid idea to give it this name. Your average hiring manager is going to take one look at it, shake their head, and move on to the next application. They're not going to bother researching it. As it is, they're bypassing University of Phoenix, DeVry, ITT, Ashford, etc. "University of the People" is one of those things that will be shared around the office with an LOL emoji.

If the people running UoP had any brains (or marketing smarts) AT ALL, they would change it. Recruiters and hiring managers spend mere seconds perusing a CV for suitability, and that name will inevitably send it to the trash bin.

Hahahaha! Wow, lol! Tell us how you REALLY feel!

University of the People isn't the greatest name, I agree. I have heard some refer to it in the same vein as a school from a Communist country, lol. Goucher is pretty ugly though, but I'll say it sounds way worse being spoken than it looks when it's just on paper.
