Support: The website even has the name as at El Paso. Corkythehornetfan^Talk 16:07, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support a new name but not the name proposed. The university seems to call itself "Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center",[1] [2] [3] without adding "at El Paso," and IMO that should be the new name. The only other website I could find online uses the name of the article as it currently stands - "Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso campus".[4] If that website is current then the name should not be changed at all. I couldn't find any official usage for the proposed title "Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso".--MelanieN (talk) 19:41, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

On the Texas Tech University System website under the "About Us" tab, it says Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso. Also, all of the news publications by the University, say at El Paso. (Here is just a few... [5], [6], & [7]) Plus underneath the "Our Universities" tab, it says at El Paso as its own institution, separate from the Health Sciences Center. It is the fourth (4th) and newest campus, according to the press release for the new and founding president ([8]). Corkythehornetfan^Talk 21:02, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, in that case, I support the move as proposed. Apparently not all of their websites have caught up with the change. --MelanieN (talk) 23:07, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support After looking at each of the other campus websites, each of them is referred to as TTUHSC at *Location*. BradTollefson (talk) 06:05, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
