I am considering removing all of these article-wide flags as some of these issues have already been discussed and fixed, and all conversations have been dormant. Are there any other opinions? Beta7 (talk) 06:30, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

Closure of the campus in 1970

The following text I added was removed as unsourced. I would like to state here that I believe it should be included. Perhaps someone in Athens could look it up in local sources. My wife was a student at Ohio University in 1970.

On May 5, 1970, the campus was closed and all students told to leave within 24 hours, a result of Vietnam War protests and the May 4th massacre at sister university Kent State. Earlier that day the Ohio National Guard used tear gas to dissolve anti-war protests on the campus, although no bullets were fired. The campus was reopened for the fall semester.

About the article Notable Ohio University faculty

Hi all,
It would appear to me that Notable Ohio University faculty fails the WP:SALAT guidelines.
Do you think it would be better to include that content in the Ohio University#Noted people section?
I suggest these possible subsections:

• ===Notable Ohio University faculty===
• ===Distinguished professors===

Endowment

It appears that there is some disagreement as to what Ohio University's endowment figures are.

The Board document that is currently cited [1] shows "The University and Foundation currently hold investments with a total market value of $1.2 billion." However, not all investments are permanently endowed.[2]

Multiple parts of the cited document (pages 234, 240, 241) show the "endowment market value" of $650.2 million at the end of FY22. This matches up with endowment figures in citations for other universities that report figures to the National Association of College and University Business Officers. [3] Note that the $746,956k figure reported by NACUBO matches the $747.0 million figure on page 240 in the Board document. This $747.0 million figure (2021) is updated to $650.2 million in 2022. When the NACUBO reports FY22 endowments, they will report $650.2 million.

The $1.2 billion number is not the university's endowment, it is the market value of their investments. Hope this clears up any confusion! SkiesWillReign (talk) 02:38, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

https://catmailohio.sharepoint.com/ is a private site, not publicly accessible, so cannot be used as a source for figures here. General Ization ^Talk 02:47, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment! It looks like your reversion linked the source to the sharepoint site, so I've corrected the figures and citation to the NACUBO figures. The sharepoint website is directly linked to from the Board of Trustees website for future reference and discussion.[4] SkiesWillReign (talk) 02:59, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I didn't note that the content before your edit also sourced a document hosted at catmailohio.sharepoint.com, though that agenda appears to be publicly accessible. The NACUBO site is probably a better source. General Ization ^Talk 03:02, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

User:Jams18, the information above provides additional context to the $1.2 billion figure and why this number is either inaccurate (if referring to total investments) or unsourced (otherwise). The $747.0 million 2021 figure, while more outdated than $650.2 million (2022), is reliably sourced through the NACUBO report. SkiesWillReign (talk) 14:55, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
