Talk:Student Union at the Royal Institute of Technology

I'd like to dispute the new name of this article. The English translation of Tekniska Högskolans Studentkår is in fact The Student Union at the Royal Institute of Technology and nothing else, as (perhaps implicitly) decided by the Student Union Board. The original name of the university is, in this matter, irrelevant in my opinion. If no one disagrees with me I will change the title back again in a week or so.

I'm also a bit unsure of the meaning of the second sentence "While the school carries the epithet of being a royal institution, the students' union is a separate entity and specifically disallowed such practice". What practice are we talking about here exactly? --Albin

The practice: 1. only (central) governmental bodies, or 2. private bodies having officially received royal sanction. Although 1. has largely fell out of practice, this is why KTH has its name. 2 corresponds to the Royal Academies. Thus the frequent use of the arachaic-sounding misspelling "Konglig" in student circles, to circumvene this. But all this should not affect the translation of THS into English.
