Case
It appears that the new official short name for Case Western Reserve University will soon be Case. This will be the name used in most university communication. Case.edu is already up, and supposedly a new logo to replace the old CWRU sunrise/sunset logo (called the "turkey butt" logo by President Hundert) will be unveiled on August 15th. Overall, I think this is a positive move, as Case is more recognizable and memorable that CWRU. It should also help prevent the problem of being variously called Case, Case Western, and Case Western Reserve by media outlets.
For those of you affiliated with Case, you can read the cwru.general newsgroup for additional discussion.
