- I strongly support removing this US-centric section from the general HE article and merging it into this article, where it clearly belongs. BobFromBrockley (talk) 11:08, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 12:02, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
- Since the section on types was moved to this article, it looks like some of the sections haven't been updated to reflect the U.S. context specifically. The sections on engineering, visual and performing arts, vocational schools and professional education are highly generic and even reference a European framework (which is irrelevant). My question is if it's worth writing U.S.-specific sections for e.g. what an engineering school is, or if they could be adequately covered under "Universities." I lean towards the latter.

Climate Change[edit]
There should be a section on US higher education and global climate change. Bryan Alexander's "Universities on Fire" details some of the dramatic effects likely to occur. Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 17:05, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
US higher education serving global elites[edit]
There is a small section on legacies, but the relationship between social class and higher education seems to be a significant area that has not been well highlighted. Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 17:07, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
Anti-Semitism is just one form of hate on campus[edit]
I suggest that the section on Anti-Semitism be retitled "Hate on Campus." Crimes against African Americans and Muslims, crimes against the LGBTQ+ community are additional forms. Misogyny in higher education is legendary, and includes rampant crimes against women. Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 16:30, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
