The Université de Moncton will keep the name it’s had for the past 60 years.

On Saturday, the university’s board of governors voted to keep the name of the university that was founded in 1963 as the result of a merger of several smaller colleges.

The vote was the culmination of a years-long campaign by some Acadian groups to have the name changed.

Board president Denis Mallet said the board decided that it was not a priority of the university to change the name. He said no new information was presented from those who wanted the name changed than was presented in the past.
