Edit war to replace Carnegie Basic Classification in lede with NSF award search results
An unregistered editor is insisting on replacing the university's Carnegie Basic Classification in the lede with a classification that he or she has derived from a search of NSF awards. This is clearly original research. Moreover, it's silly to claim that a search of NSF awards is a better source for classifying an institution than the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, the most well known and respected system for classifying colleges and universities in the United States.
