Editing Plate glass university (section)

===Naming===
Unlike earlier universities in the United Kingdom, which were typically named after the city in which they were located (e.g., the [[University of Cambridge]] in [[Cambridge]]), several newer universities were named after the counties or wider regions they served. For example, universities founded in [[Colchester]] and [[Brighton]] were named after the counties of Essex and Sussex, respectively. The university in [[Canterbury]] initially adopted the name ''University of Kent at Canterbury'', combining the county name ([[Kent]]) with the city name, although this was later simplified to the University of Kent. The university on the outskirts of [[Coventry]], [[Warwickshire]] was named after the [[county town]] of [[Warwick]].{{efn|In the case of Warwick the naming was related to the acquisition of adjacent land outside the border of Coventry{{cn|date=June 2024}}}} The university in [[Norwich]], which is in the county of [[Norfolk]], was instead named for the wider area of [[East Anglia]] which also includes [[Suffolk]] and [[Essex]]. The universities in [[Lancashire]] and [[Yorkshire]] were located in the county towns of [[Lancaster, Lancashire|Lancaster]] and [[York]] respectively. There were already universities within those counties ([[University of Manchester|Manchester]] and [[University of Liverpool|Liverpool]] in Lancashire; [[University of Sheffield|Sheffield]], [[University of Leeds|Leeds]] and [[University of Hull|Hull]] in Yorkshire).

Since the passage of the [[Further and Higher Education Act 1992]] several [[New university|new universities]] and [[University college|university colleges]] have been created within the same city as a plate-glass university and have been named after the city: [[University of Brighton|Brighton]], [[Canterbury Christ Church University|Canterbury Christ Church]], [[Coventry University|Coventry]], [[Norwich University of the Arts]], [[Writtle University College|Writtle]] and [[York St John University|York St John]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Kaufman |first=Paul |date=1967 |title=The Community Library: A Chapter in English Social History |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/1006043 |journal=Transactions of the American Philosophical Society |volume=57 |issue=7 |pages=1–67 |doi=10.2307/1006043 |jstor=1006043 |issn=0065-9746|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
