Good, it was a really dumb idea. The next thing you know there would be random Stanford signs along the highways like Carnegie Mellon and Univ of Phoenix. You don't see Harvard or Yale doing this nonsense; they know the value of their institution and a perception of dilutive branch offices is to be avoided.
