Kean University
Please settle a bet I have with my know -it-all 17year old son...
Is it Pronounced "Kane" or "Keen"? He won't believe me or Wikipedia so maybe he will believe the all knowing 'Lifers!
Kane. Lived over that way growing up and family went there and other family member is head of student housing. Tell your son once again mom is right. Lol ;)
I have heard it pronounced as "Kane" as well
I had this come up with a name of a company once , so I called their main number after hours to see how they pronounced their name.
I know all too well about know it all teens! Good luck
Call the main school number and see how they pronounce it when they answer the phone. I would think their employees know how to pronounce the name of their employer.
Or just go to youtube and listen to one of their own videos:

Kean U.(cane) just bought glass conference table for over $200k. Wth! Dont care what it does. Thats outrageous!
I think by this point it has been well established that the correct pronunciation for Kane is cane lol!, but maybe we should get a few more to verify just to be on the safe side :)
The table was a subject on 101.5 today. All the grads that called in, called it Keen like i do. My daughter went there before it was a University. FYI it was about $1,200 a year
A little off topic, but my friend had a horse and wagon. We used to cut hay with sickles and bamboo rakes on the Kean property long before it became a collage..
This is just funny
"Kean University spends $219K on conference table, report says"

No matter how they spend their money they are still far cheaper than centenary.... Probably a better school too.
I went to centenary for undergrad. Thankfully I opened my head and went to rutgers for grad school. Way cheaper. Better education.
I think it's now pronounced "oops"...

they're in good company. Carnegie mellon did the same thing, as did several other schools.
