Hello everyone,
"RESPONSE FROM PETER SHANKMAN AND HARO
REGARDING TODAY’S CONFERENCE CALL
First things first:
Today’s HARO “How to Pitch Business Reporters” will be rescheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, February 19th at 2pm EST.
Now then:
To my esteemed panelists, and to all the audience members listening in: I’m truly sorry. While the problem was caused by technical issues, the fact is, I organized the call, I promoted it, my panel convened at my request, and the audience paid for it on my recommendation. As such, I accept full responsibility for today’s SNAFU, regardless of what caused it.
We don’t know exactly what happened. What I do know is that I’ve used ***Conference Call University*** for our previous two calls, without any problems at all. We’ve never had so much as a blip of trouble on either of the previous calls, and had no reason to expect any different. Obviously, that’s not what happened today.
I truly apologize to each and every one of you, and I vow to make this right.
Tomorrow’s conference call will take place at 2pm EST, just like today’s did. CCU will be responsible for giving out the conference call dial‑in number for the audience members. For the panel members, I will call each of you personally an hour before the call and give you the dial‑in numbers."
What is Conference Call University and how should the phrase be parsed?
I've tried to find info on the net, but there seems to be nothing relevant:

Thank you.

: This doesn't seem to be a conference call software, though // I stand corrected on the software aspect (see discussion - but remain dubious about the latest ref being 2011)

No, why should it be?

: I think they are a middle man, not software. The snafu was an admin one, not a technical one.

: Yes, not software, albeit you are right - has to be treated as a proper noun

None of this really influences the fact that it's pretty obvious that CCU here is a proper noun and should be left as it is in TT, imo.
