It is not CITU, it's CIT-U.
That has been a long debate with the Alumni, the CHED and the owner of the school itself. The officers of the alumni have been pushing to maintain the "CIT" letters since it has been known in the entire phil producing Top notchers and great graduates especially during its great early days. Moreover, it's awkward to tell to your children when they ask the question, "Asa diay ka graduate Mama/Papa?". Proud kaayo ka sa imo alma-matter labi na ni graduate ka with flying colors and a board top notcher nya suddenly wala nay kaila in the next generation.
MIT was bought by millionaires after the Mapua Family decided to sell the school due to conflicts with it's heirs. The new owner decided to change the name but the alumni bombard them with protest with same reason. MIT is still MIT even though it's already a university.
