Chief of staff

Who is the Chief of Staff at MUSC?

Where? There is a chief in each school and department. The head of the school is President, not Chief of Staff. He is Ray Greenberg. --Kainaw ^(talk) 16:18, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

David J. Cole is the President of MUSC. Barton L. Sachs is Chief of Staff at MUSC Medical Center. Doctor No9 (talk) 19:03, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

January 2023 edit warring

Mackaltman has begun an edit war to add or change information in this article. This includes:

Adding the chair of the board of trustees and the university's street address in the infobox. This information is trivial and unnecessary; this is an encyclopedia article, not a school directory or university webpage.
Changing the lede to describe this institution as a "research university". This institution is [https://carnegieclassifications.acenet.edu/lookup/view_institution.php?unit_id=218335 classified as a "Special Focus Four-Year: Research Institution" in the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, the standard classifier of U.S. colleges and universities among both scholars and Wikipedia editors. If this were a research university, it would be classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity" or "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity."

@Mackaltman:, please revert these edits unless a new consensus is established. You cannot simply revert your new, preferred edits into an article over the objections of other editors. Bold, revert, discuss is the typical way to address disagreements; inserting additional reversions of your own while the issues are being discussed or in lieu of discussion is edit warring which is not acceptable.

The recommended infobox template for a university is Infobox University, which references the following in it's documentation:

Chair should be used to identify the chair of the institution. I'm not sure why utilizing the recommended infobox would be trivial or unnecessary.
Address is relevant as Google pulls information to their knowledge panels based off the correct information being present on Wikipedia. We don't have the address listed, so this page isn't matching with the MUSC knowledge panel.
Carnegie deems the Medical University of South Carolina a research institution, in the same fashion as it does University of California, San Francisco. I've noticed you edited that page, but did not remove research university from their infobox, but insist on removing it from MUSC. Can you clarify what your designation is as it doesn't seem to be standard across your applications in alignment with Carnegie?
