En contexte, l'usage le plus répandu consiste à mettre l'article qui accompagnerait le nom si celui-ci était traduit en français. «University» se traduisant par Université, nom féminin en français, l'article «la» serait normalement élidé du fait de la rencontre des deux voyelles (le «a» de la et le «U» de «University»). Par contre, pour des raisons d'euphonie (le son «l'iou» est désagréable à l'oreille), il est recommandé de ne pas élider l'article «la». 3, record 1, French, - L%27Association%20internationale%20des%20centres%20d%27%C3%A9tudes%20du%20f%C3%A9d%C3%A9ralisme
