Possible copyvio

Hi, as it says on the top of the article, this article has a high similarity to a different website. I've been trying to determine who copied who, and would like a second opinion/additional help. I believe that the Wikipedia article is the original, but would like some further thoughts. My main reasons for believing so are as follows:

1. The initial version of the page includes much more people in the "Some Distinguished Alumni" section than the website. However, this section is cut down to three people in a later edit, matching exactly the people in the external website. It seems unlikely that, if the article was copied, the creator would go out of their way to find more people, which would coincidentally be cut down to match the website. In this same edit, the title of the section is changed to "Notable alumni." This change matches the section title on the website. Further, this revision is also the one with one of the highest similarities I have discovered, more so than the initial.
2. In the initial version of the page, the P in "Special Programs" is capitalized. This is different from the website, which has the P lowercase. However, this matches the change here. If the initial version is copypasted, then the P would have been lowercase, not uppercase as it was here.
3. The lead version of the inital version is pretty different from the first paragraph on the website. This was changed when this edit rewrote the lead. It seems unlikely that the original creator copied the body, rewrote only the lead, and another editor came along, found that same website, and copied it so the leads matched. It seems more likely to me that some editor simply rewrote the lead, and the website copied us.

Note: All of these revs are before the earliest archive date available on archive.org. The closest rev to this archive date is the highest copyvio I've found.

Thanks for the help. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 00:27, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
