== Questionable neutrality ==


== Requested move 22 December 2024 ==
Neutral, bias-free language is the foundation of Misplaced Pages and must be employed in every article on Misplaced Pages. However, there are several sections and passages in this particular article that are anything but neutral. Many of these sections come across as heavily biased and promotional, reading almost like an advertisement or self-promotional material. It is urged that neutrality be improved. ] (]) 15:31, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

:The language I'm seeing is mostly pretty neutral. The article goes into some detail about the school's accomplishments, but it seems to be based on reliable sources, and I don't think it uses particularly promotional language. There are a couple of spots in the Campus section where there is subjective wording, and there is some mention of trivial items (like the individual members of the debate teams). Am I missing other examples? Remember that you can go into the article yourself and provide alternative wording. ] (]) 17:43, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
