Renaming

I shall be renaming the template from Template:Lasallian Colleges and Universities to Template:Lasallian universities and colleges in the United States for the following reasons:

Wikipedia naming conventions: "Do not capitalize second and subsequent words unless the title is a proper noun."
In a recent CfD discussion on colleges and universities, it was agreed that, "where both "universities" and "colleges" are used, they will be put in that order."
At present, only educational institutions located within the United States are included. Expanding the template to include all Lasallian universities and colleges worldwide would probably make it too bulky.
As per category naming conventions, education-related country-specific names should use "in country" rather than "of country". It is assumed that this also applies to templates.
