Per the style guide, former names should be included in the lead
"By the design of Wikipedia's software, an article can have only one title. When this title is a name, significant alternative names for the topic should be mentioned in the article. These may include alternative spellings, longer or shorter forms, historical names, and significant names in other languages. Indeed, alternative names can be used in article text in contexts where they are more appropriate than the name used as the title of the article."
and in the sub paragraphs of the guideline "The title can be followed in the first sentence by one or two alternative names"
The fact that it has only been Carol University for a handful of its hundred years of existence is significant for the older names to be included as that is how the sources will have referenced it. 67.220.13.96 (talk) 16:42, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
