Since you apparently won't use the article talk page, I'll talk here: I've already added the mention of being a Public Ivy to the Academics and distinctions section. It's WP:UNDUE weight to include it in the lead, which is supposed to summarize the most important aspects of the entire article. Does that make sense or do you have a different take on it?

I'm sorry. I am a new member and am not quite familiar with all of the talk settings yet. Yes, that makes sense. It's just that I've looked at other college articles, and many of them mention that the institution is recognized as a Public Ivy in the lead (UC Davis, U of Arizona,and Michigan State were some such articles). I thought it would make sense to do the same to UI's page, as it would give the university the distinction of being one of the top public universities. Dufffgh (talk) 03:17, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not familiar with the other college pages, but putting that much importance on an entry in one book strikes me as odd. If you want it put in the lead, feel free to bring it up at Talk:University of Iowa and we can see what other people think about it. Hope you like it here. VernoWhitney (talk) 03:42, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
