In the old days it was just Kitchener Collegiate Institute (KCI), then they got politically correct and added Waterloo and Vocational School and dropped the Institute. Everybody just kept calling it KCI.

That has nothing to do with political correctness. It's just a tendency of bureaucracy to use ever longer, more important sounding names. E.g. Waterloo Park becomes Waterloo Outdoor Recreational Facilty (or something like that), as the sign on Westmount used to read in the 90s.
