可惜人家不认:
Remember that Beijing is a city name, so that "University of Beijing" would be a reasonable choice for a university name. But "Beijing University" would be entirely well-formed; there is no P Rule.

Alas, it's not only native speakers of Chinese who make up arbitrary "rules of English grammar" that are trivially refuted by a few minutes of research into the norms of educated usage. It's true that PKU's new "rule" is a problem for Princeton University, New York University, Boston University, and many others.
