TUI: Distracting

[yoda_igorovich]

I hear TUI has a trademark infringement lawsuit pending against Union Institute over the tui.edu domain.  Obviously TUI puts a lot of store in that moniker, although I'm not sure why.  

What a f*cking joke! The Union Institute held the url www.tui.edu long before Touro University International www.tourou.edu changed its name and url to TUI University www.tuiu.edu .

I don't think I'm alone on this funny name thing either.  For example, when Barrington was looking for something respectable they went with University of Atlanta.  No explanation needed, even though we all know that until recently it wasn't even in Atlanta.  Doesn't matter to the 99% of people who don't follow these things.

They were first located in Alabama, then now they are located in Atlanta, Georgia(as you commented), which is more appropriate to their name. Their move was clever, since they can move anywhere with DETC accreditation and just in case selected a state that they could operate in the event the accreditation did not go as planned.
