Most of these are probably correct, but I'm removing these because we don't have articles on them. I haven't yet checked the entries for which we do have articles, but presumably when checked they will indicate that these people do hold the positions stated and are, in fact, Columbia B-School alumni.

These can be reinserted when, per verifiability policy, they are accompanied with source citations. These could be web links to corporate bios on corporation websites, but they ought to confirm that the person is a Wharton grad and does in fact hold the stated position.

[edit] Eudora Welty????

Removing

Our article says nothing about any Columbia connection at all. It would be fascinating if she had a Columbia business school connection, as that's absolutely the last person one would expect to have one, but a good, verifiable source is needed... and frankly I don't believe it.

Never mind, putting her back. Amazing. Dpbsmith (talk) 13:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

  • She studied advertising (marketing?) at the business school for a year. Gabell 20:22, 28 August 2006 (UTC)


    • Really? That is kind of surprising to say the least. Learn something new every day. Know of any links we can use to footnote or reference this as fact, or is it even necessary to do that? Footloose3 21:22, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
      • There was already a reference but I added one from Columbia itself, noting her as a "Columbian Ahead of [Her] Times":

After graduating from the University of Wisconsin in 1929, Welty came to Columbia Business School to prepare for a career in advertising. Journeying from her residence at Johnson Hall, she took in Manhattan nightlife—dancing in Harlem, the theater, Greenwich Village cafés. After a year at Columbia, she worked briefly at a Manhattan advertising firm and then returned home to Jackson upon the death of her father. She remembered her time at Columbia as "a most marvelous year.

[edit] Notable people

The proliferation of noted alumni and professors occupying the introduction has become overwhelming. Could they be integrated into the preexisting "notable alumni" section instead, possibly changed to "Notable people" to reflect the inclusion of faculty? Cjs2111 22:19, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Columbia GSB.jpg

Image:Columbia GSB.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
