Open University of Hong Kong renamed Metropolitan University
The Open University of Hong Kong (#OUHK) announced on December 11, 2020 that it will be renamed "Hong Kong Metropolitan University", following a public consultation earlier this year.
University president Wong Yuk-shan claimed with Hong Kong being "a vibrant, international metropolitan city", this name is most suitable and expandable meeting the University's expansion plan in the future.
The name-change decision immediately invited keen discussion online. On the popular LIHKG forum, most comments made fun of the short form of the new name, which could roughly be translated into "also a university" or "also big", others said it sounds more like the name of a hotel or a nightclub.
