This institution should still be referred to as Peace College. While the current president has announced a decision to take the college on a new path no changes have taken effect yet. It was announced that in the fall of 2012 the college name will be changed to William Peace University and will open its doors to men. The alumnae of the college are protesting these changes. We would appreciate the college be treated with respect and understanding during this turbulant time. The change of name posted to Wikipedia is premature and incorrect!

The result of the move request was: not moved. Until such time as the new name becomes substantially more common than the old name, our guidelines dictate using the old name. See WP:Official names. Aervanath ( talk) 20:45, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

William Peace University – This school has changed its name and has begun using the new name on its website. The time has come to delete this redirect to make way for a move of
Peace College to
William Peace University Some alumnae have opposed the name change, creating some controversy but with the
local media using the new name and the administration
using the new name in press releases
[1]. While the old name does persist in some spots on the university website, that will change in time. The article title should reflect the official title of the university.--

The result of the move request was: Move. This is clearly what the institution will be called in reliable sources from here on. Cúchullain t/ c 15:32, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Peace College → William Peace University – It's time to revisit this discussion. Google search results show 458,000 results for "William Peace University" and now only 301,000 results for "Peace College". In fact, the only results on the first page of a Google search for "Peace College" are articles from prior to May of 2012, a redirect page for William Peace University's new website, and this page. Wikipedia shouldn't be the lone holdout in a sea of actual, palpable, permanent change. All University websites and all North Carolina press now refer to the institution by its new name. See, for instance: http://www.newsobserver.com/2012/11/06/2466778/north-carolinas-congressional.html I believe that WP:official names and WP:BALL support this.
