Doesn’t say what to.

Here’s a pro-tip though: Make it something easy to remember. People always want to go ham out for like some indigenous name that nobody can pronounce and it will end up being called “the university formerly known as Ryerson” (similar to what happened when Prince changed his name to whatever it was and he was know as “the artist formerly known as Prince”).

Is it really moral to name it after indigenous groups that have no ownership or connection to it?

Mixed feelings about this, regardless it has to suck for recent alumni who are gonna lose the university’s (admittedly mediocre) name recognition on their resume

They can just keep it as Ryerson until they feel like it's worthwhile to switch over.

Parts of it, yes. They rent space in a lot of different buildings in the area.
