 Some newspapers such as "Morgenbladet" announced that they would write the name in accordance with Norwegian spelling rules as "Oslomet".The name "OsloMet" was heavily criticized in the media and described as a "triumph of emptiness" in "Aftenposten".On 18 January 2018 the state Language Council of Norway determined that the correct spelling of the university's Norwegian name, which is mandatory in official government usage, is "Oslomet – storbyuniversitetet".
