What's wrong with noting non-profit?
An IP editor noted the university's non-profit status in the description. I followed up with a citation to the NCES database. Then reverted it all out, saying it isn't necessary. I'm puzzled. Whether a private university is for-profit or non-profit makes a huge difference for regulatory purposes, and also for many people who might want to attend. I don't see how this information isn't a useful part of the university's Wikipedia description, and I certainly don't see the harm in leaving it in the article. – M.boli (talk) 17:15, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The vast majority of colleges and universities in the U.S. are non-profit so we usually omit it as unnecessary. I am not a fan of making case-by-case exceptions without really good reasons so I'm not in favor of having this handled differently in this article than others. However, I think that this particular practice could, and perhaps should, be changed project-wide as it appears to be out-of-step with how most scholarly and expert sources (e.g., IPEDS, Carnegie) classify institutions. A discussion at WT:UNI would be entirely appropriate. ElKevbo (talk) 17:34, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Righto. I think another reason the convention could be changed is that it is easy for readers unfamiliar with the terminology to confuse private and for-profit. Thanks for explaining it. – M.boli (talk) 04:40, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
