Degree from UConn or UConn Law

[edit]

Hi Snickers2686, thank you for helping me improve this article. Do you have a link to any rule, policy, MOS guideline, or anything else with regard to the question of whether a person should be listed as graduating from the graduate sub-school of a university or just the main university? E.g. is there a hard-and-fast rule for whether Devlin graduated from the "University of Connecticut" or the "University of Connecticut School of Law"? If there isn't a policy or MOS rule, I think it might be a good idea to look into proposing one. This seems to be a point of confusion across many, many articles and schools. For example, you can look at the UConn Law alumni category page and see that some of the linked persons specify the school of law while others do not. The same problem with the Harvard Business School alumni page and probably any other graduate sub-school. Specific to UConn Law, it would seem that it would be better to treat the law school as a separate school entirely since the school does not seem to share a campus, faculty, support staff, graduation, or really anything else with the main undergraduate campus/school.

@Ikjbagl: It's been a general practice to only include the degree granting institution in the infobox when it comes to law degrees and other advanced degrees. Snickers2686 (talk) 18:47, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
