@ElKevbo, I'm guessing you may have thoughts about how to move this toward a less boosterish state; offers an academic experience similar to that of an Ivy League university isn't something I think we can support. Overall, we need to either reform or delist GAs like this, since editors ought to be able to point to them as precedent-setting examples. {{u|Sdkb}}talk05:39, 3 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
If we must include this information in the lede - more on that in a moment - then I don't know why we need to expand on it at all as readers who would like to know more can easily visit the article all about it.
I don't think this has been centrally discussed in several years but I am still opposed to including this information in the lede of any article. Why in the world are we giving so much weight to one or two books published in either 1985 or 2001? The compromise that was struck in the previous discussion was to only include this in the lede for institutions named in the 1985 book, excluding the "runner-ups." I would be very amenable reopening this discussion to overturn that compromise in favor of relegating this to the "Rankings" or a similar section if it's included at all.

GA from 2008, tagged with a GAR request since September. Aside from the boosterism template, there are 5 citation needed templates and several other unsourced information. Spinixster(chat!)01:10, 27 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
I've addressed three of the citation needed tags and the boosterism. The other two citation needed tags need some work to see if a source can be found; if not, that information can be removed. Robminchin (talk) 13:16, 27 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
I've added some further citation needed tags that I think have now identified the remaining unsourced information referred to. It looks like everything should be either addressable or not a great loss if it has to be removed. Robminchin (talk) 16:43, 27 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
