Osaka City University
In June 2020, OPU announced that it would be merging with Osaka City University to become the "University of Osaka". However, after the name was announced on June 26, 2020, Osaka University President released a statement pointing out that the English version of the new university's name was "remarkably similar" to that of Osaka University, adding, "It will cause confusion among our students, and work as a great obstacle for the future of both universities, which are reaching out to the world."
