* '''Keep''' - we have a working system with ''University of Foo stuff'' that is working well and pretty universal, although it is not entirely standardized, mostly due to the resistence of United Kingdom categories which follow their own conventions. I agree its a bit awkward with the coma in the middle, but the various campuses of UC are so universally known that nobody's surprised. Plus if we renamed these categories, they would be eligible to speedy renaming the other way per [[WP:C2C]]. And we have {{Cl|University of Montana faculty}} and {{Cl|University of Montana alumni}}. We also have [[:Category:University of the People people]], which is quite nice. [[User:Place Clichy|Place Clichy]] ([[User talk:Place Clichy|talk]]) 19:21, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
*:'''Comment''': None of those you are mentioning are two-part names. '''Keep''' is not an option, because the current names violate [[WP:Copyediting#Punctuation]]. Either we insert the comma – an alternative suggested by Oculi above – or we recast the category names. Regarding C2C, remember [[WP:CONSENSUSCANCHANGE]]. Even if something was agreed upon way back when because it seemed to be a good idea at the time, if it's later found to be not such a good idea, or that there are cases that people did not think of then, and that do not fit the pattern that was agreed upon, a new consensus can emerge.

'''Keep'''. I do a lot of alumni related categorization. The overwhelming majority of American schools are using the Alumni of xyz titles. There is no reason why it should change, especially for just one university. There is no compelling reason to change. Seems like the reason boils down to someone’s preference for one away over the other. If it is changes, to be consistent, change the hundreds of other alumni categories for all other schools from high school up.
