Request edit on 16 December 2024

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

What I think should be changed:

The following is a suggested addition to be made to the Academics section of the Ursuline College article:

Ursuline College was ranked #49 on the Top Performers on Social Mobility 2025 ranking by U.S. News and World Report, tied with University of Saint Mary. U.S. News and World Report also ranked Ursuline College #109 on the Best Regional Universities Midwest 2025 category.^[1]

Ursuline offers one of only two art therapy bachelor's degree programs in Ohio^[2], the other offered by Ohio University.^[3]

Ursuline College has a student-faculty ratio of 7:1. As of 2024, the college employs 158 faculty members. ^[4]

Why it should be changed: Provides additional information on Ursuline College's program offerings, student-faculty ratio, and academic rankings from notable sources, such as U.S. News and World Report.

Not Done. Promotional and non-encyclopaedic info. Being 49th and 109th in lists (one of which was a regional list) is not significant encyclopaedic info. The art therapy info is clearly promotional, as though taken from a brochure. Also, sourcing is primarily non independent. Axad12 (talk) 04:10, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request edit on 16 December 2024

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

What I think should be changed:

I suggest the following be added to the Athletics section of the Ursuline College page:

Ursuline's athletics teams are known as the Arrows.

In 2014, the Ursuline College soccer team won both the G-MAC Regular Season and Tournament Championships, lead by Coach Jason Kubbins. Coach Kubbins is the winningest coach in Ursuline College history since taking over the soccer program in the fall of 2006. Since 2009, Kubbins has compiled an 81-41-6 record. ^[1]

Shannon Sword is the winningest coach in UC Basketball history with a career record of 142-162. Sword led the Arrows to their first Great Midwest Athletic Conference title in 2015-2016 with their 25-4 season. She also coached Ursuline in two NCAA tournament appearances. The NCAA title berth in 2015-16 was the first-ever for a program at Ursuline. Under Sword's direction in 2021, the Ursuline College basketball team had the second highest GPA in all of NCAA Division II basketball. Sword was named G-MAC Coach of the Year two years in a row for her 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons. ^[2]

In 2016, Coach Ed Karasek began Ursuline College's first lacrosse program. Later that year, Karasek would lead the team to the 2016 Great Midwest Athletic Conference Regular Season & Tournament Championship, as well as the 2017 Regular Season Championship and an appearance in the tournament championship game. Karasek was named the G-MAC Coach of the Year in 2016 for the second time in his time at Ursuline. ^[3]

In December of 2024, Ursuline College signed its first male athlete to its track and field team, only 32 days after announcing the addition of men's sports to the Arrows' athletics programs. ^[4] Also in 2024, senior Alaysia Brooks competed in the Division II NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships, where she came in 1st place in the 800-meter race.^[5]

Why it should be changed: Adds additional breadth and depth to the information available on Ursuline Athletics, including notable coaches and student athletes, as well as detailing the years, sports, and conferences of historically-relevant championships won by Ursuline athletes.

Not Done. The wording of the material is also clearly promotional and Wikipedia is not an opportunity for colleges to indiscriminately list all of their sporting victories. Axad12 (talk) 04:08, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
