工作学习 / 外语学习 / How they named universities? XYZ University, or University of XYZ?
My observation:
If XYZ is a place, e.g. a city or a province, then it would be University of XYZ. e.g. University of Alberta, University of Waterloo, etc.
Otherwise, it would be XYZ University. e.g. Carleton University, Western University, Queen's University.

In the United States,most public universities first established and funded by a state government are named University of XYZ, e.g, University of California, University of Michigan. Some states established more colleges later. Those colleges are usually called XYZ State University, e.g, California State University, Michigan State University, etc
Private colleges are usually named after their founders, like Stanford, Brown, etc.

The script writer of the movie intentionally picked those portmanteau words to make fun of the dictator. It's not the general rule at all.
