<p>Funny. For me it is still northwestern.com showing up. I guess is one of those “google relevance” things.</p>
<p>Anyway, I found this page at the northwestern.edu website:
[The</a> New “northwestern.edu” Internet Domain](<a href=“http://www.tss.northwestern.edu/reference/northwestern-edu.html]The”>The New "northwestern.edu" Internet Domain)</p>
<p>One exerpt from that page states:</p>
<p>"
The New “northwestern.edu” Internet Domain</p>
<hr>
<p>On March 1, 2000, Northwestern University Information Technology (NUIT) will introduce a new domain for the University: “northwestern.edu”. In brief, the University is making this change to standardize its identity on the Internet. Over several years, this new domain will supercede the original “nwu.edu” Internet domain that has been in use at Northwestern since the 1980s. This web site describes the multi-stage plan for the introduction and migration, and answers many questions that have been posed to NUIT about this project. After reviewing this web site, if you have additional questions about this migration, please send mail to <a href=“mailto:it-feedback@northwestern.edu”>it-feedback@northwestern.edu</a>.
