I am not sure that University of Illinois at Chicago requires such a detailed disambiguation page. According to Wikipedia guidelines:

Only articles or links which will arise from ambiguity or confusion (e.g. articles carrying conflicting title) are considered to be put in a disambiguation page.

Can you cite evidence where University of Illinois at Chicago has been confused with at University of Illinois at Navy Pier? If so, consider adding a link to the University of Illinois page. Thank you.

EDIT: Furthering my confusion is that the University of Illinois at Navy Pier page points to the pier, not the school. Are you planning on writing an article about the school? Thanks.

Also, it is interesting that you claim "uic students get frustrated with being mistaken [for U of C students]." I have quite a few friends at UIC and they have all said they enjoyed the confusion and rarely bother to correct it. From my experience, Penn State students, on the other hand, are always quick to correct such a mistake whenever someone mistakes them for a Penn student. This is why I so adamantly believe that school pride is so important. --Crimson3981 00:39, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
