The University of Charlotte Petition Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/the-university-of-charlotte-petition.html Online petition signatures en-us Thu, 16 Apr 2026 10:21 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition SPC Benjamin Hemingway [Signature #58] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5663498?utm_medium=rss 3 majors reasons to change the name:

1) Confusion with other schools
2) Closer ties to the City of Charlotte
3) Portray ourselves as a major university

Too many times have I had to explain to people out of state that UNC Charlotte is not a sattelite of UNC Chapel Hill. NC State changed their name in the 50s from UNC Raleigh for this reason. Charlotte is an amazing city and we need to be seen as the city's university!

These are high level representatives at major pharmaceutical companies.
