Validity of new name?

  • The buyout,while expected to go through, is not yet complete. There is no Texas A&M School of Law as of May 12, 2013. Why is the Texas Wesleyan page redirecting here? 04:05, 13 May 2013‎ User:97.94.199.35

Removal of information relating to lawsuit

I removed this section from the article to the talkpage:

The suit focuses on the 1994 accreditation date of TAMU School of Law [1], the use of pre-acquisition graduates' bar statistics [2], employment statistics reported for pre-acquisition years[3], pro bono hour claims by TAMU School of Law that include those performed by pre-acquisition graduates [4], the touting of pre-acquisition alumni accomplishments [5], and statements made during the accreditation process to the American Bar Association and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, during which the ABA recognized the acquisition as a renaming of an old school, rather than recognition of a new law school.

  1. ^ ABA List of Accredited Law Schools, [1]
  2. ^ Texas Lawyer, November 17, 2014, [2]
  3. ^ Employment Statistics[3]
  4. ^ Smart Moves, [4]
  5. ^ The Aggie Lawyer, Vol. 1, Issue 1, Spring/Summer 2104[5]

There are several concerns. First the username gives the indication that the editor is connected to the lawsuit filed against the law school, and as such, should not be editing the article under WP:COI. Second, as far as I can tell, none of the cited references speak of the pre-acquisition years, which means that the statements are violations of WP:OR and WP:SYNTH.

I'm pinging Jytdog as he's much better on COI issues than I am. Since my only concern is that the article reflect what sources say, and since I attended TAMU, I'm going to drop out of this and let others handle the matter. GregJackP Boomer! 23:22, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
