Talk:List of universities in Flanders

Definition of Flanders -- Brussels universities
It needs to be clarified by what is meant by Flanders. In most cases, Flanders refers to the contemporary Flemish Region, roughly the northern half of Belgium. Under this definition, universities in Brussels should not be included, as Brussels is its own region, and is not part of the Flemish Region. Perhaps this article should be re-written to either not include Brussels-based institutions (which would then get their own page), or to have its title changed to "List of Flemish universities". What do you think?

No, higher education is governed by the Communities and not by the Regions. Therefore, all Dutch-speaking universities must be grouped together. The Flemish Community does include Brussels. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.91.78.190 (talk) 21:33, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
