Springfield University (Lyran classification: research university) was a Romulan university on Simpson's Planet. (RIS Bouteina: "Fundraiser") Tanneke van Ruijven, the original founder of the Triple-E Senates, was expelled from a doctorate in music in that university and thus left the band under the control of Rihanna (Romulan). Sima Yi, one of the remaining musicians of the band, left the band after being accepted at Springfield University, replaced by Otto Mann. (RIS Bouteina: "Days of Wine and D'ohses")
