Anglia Ruskin University? Has somebody just made that name up?

It used to be called the Essex Institute of Higher Education, then merged and became a Polytechnic University, then they dropped the Polytechnic bit cos it sounded crap and now they are a proper University.

I wonder what they thought was wrong with the name "The University of Chelmsford"?
