As a sidenote, saying U of X for every X isn't a very specific determiner, and it appears you were attempting to be specific. For example, University of Calgary is the top-rated result for "U of C" on google, but you could easily be referring to University of Chicago or University of Connecticut, among other U of C institutions.

In context, it's almost certainly University of Chicago, given that this was the U of C mentioned in the post.

Yes, that's a good point. I had forgotten about that mention by the time I got to the comments.

I assumed it was obvious here, because the OP said he was talking about the University of Chicago.
