Separate page for Mills College?
Famous Mills College alums now show up in Google as having attended "Mills College at Northeastern University."
This is a practical impossibility: as I write this, no one has even started classes at "Mills College at Northeastern University," much less graduated. In fact, it will not even offer four-year programs until 2023-24 at the earliest.
As Mills was a liberal arts school, and Northeastern is not accredited to offer about 70% of Mills' programs, it also misrepresents the two schools. When Google pulls the alma mater for Laurie Anderson, Sofia Coppola, and Jade Snow Wong, and because of the redirect to this page, lists them as graduates of "Mills College at Northeastern University," it makes it look like Northeastern offers avant-garde interdisciplinary programs that it never has.
It's having a very widespread effect on Google's search results. When I search for "what did Barbara Lee major in," the top result is her official Congressional biography. Just below that search result, Google adds, "Education: Mills College at Northeastern University." But the page itself, https://lee.house.gov/about/biography, never mentions Northeastern University.
These are two separate educational institutions, and they need two separate pages. Oakling (talk) 03:54, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
