According to the Constitution of Huazhong University of Science and Technology approved by the Ministry of Education, the official abbreviation of Huazhong University of Science and Technology is "Huazhong University", and the school also claims to use this abbreviation uniformly. However, in the private Huazhong University of Science and Technology, the abbreviation is "Huake, Huakeda or Huazhong University of Science and Technology", which is more familiar and accepted by everyone. In particular, the recent naming of subway stations has once again set off a dispute over the abbreviation of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
First, some alumni of Huazhong University of Science and Technology who work in the subway system reported the "Huazhong University of Science and Technology Station". During the publicity period, the school raised an objection and insisted on changing the abbreviation approved by the articles of association to "Huazhong University Station". After that, a vote was initiated among the people to solicit opinions from everyone. The alternatives are "Huazhong University of Science and Technology Station, Huake Station, Huake University Station, Huazhong University of Science and Technology Station and Huazhong University Station". As soon as the voting results came out, Huazhong University of Science and Technology Station was far ahead, and there were few candidates for Huazhong University Station.
