[edit] Sources

Since this page only has one short paragraph of text, which is properly cited, exactly what is referred to by the "lack of sources" tag on the front page? Since I can't see anything requiring sources, whoever tagged it should say something about it here, or I'm going to remove it in a couple days. BigKennyK 18:42, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Since the presence of this box has gone unclarified, I have removed it. BigKennyK 23:54, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quinnipiac

Quinnipiac hasn't been an associate member in lacrosse for a couple seasons now. How do we remove them from the AEC directory box? BigKennyK 16:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I figured it out, Quinnipiac has been removed. BigKennyK 17:52, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] School type/religious affiliation

The religious affiliation or designation as "non-sectarian" is not so clear cut. For example, Duke University describes its ties with Methodism as "formal, on-going, and symbolic" [1] while Wake Forest University maintains "a dedication to the values rooted in its Baptist heritage" [2]. Both schools can be considered "non-sectarian" in that they are no longer under the direct auspices of their founding religious organizations. Likewise, Boston College maintains its Jesuit identity in spite of the fact that it severed its formal ties with the Jesuit Order (and thereby the Catholic Church) in the 1960s when it was independently incorporated under a lay board of trustees. Unlike the Catholic University of America, which is under the direct auspices of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, or the University of Notre Dame, which is governed by "fellows" who must be priests of the Congregation of Holy Cross, The Trustees of Boston College (BC's governing body) operate independent of any religious jurisdiction. This arrangement is probably similar to that at Duke or Wake Forest, except that the BC trustees have voluntarily chosen to elect members of the founding religious organization to the presidency (though they are not required to do so). In fact, similar arrangements exist at other Jesuit colleges and universities, where both women and non-clerics have been elected to presidency (most recently at Georgetown University). All of this is to say that I think the nature of a school's religious affiliation is beyond the scope of this article, and that "public" or "private" suffice in the context of the members table. --24.63.125.78 10:22, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

24.63.125.78 has coppied and pasted this on almost every college conference discussion board. Please refer to Talk:Atlantic Coast Conference so we can keep all the discussion in one place. Thanks. -- Masonpatriot
