Recommended changes to update the American Council on Education page by a disclosed ACE staff member
editPart of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. |
- What I think should be changed (include citations):
Opening paragraph: It should 1,600 (not 1,700) [1]
Leadership: Second paragraph ("The current board chair...") should be cut -- the info is outdated. The rest is good as is.
- Thanks for making the changes so far. Would you be able to also make updates to the Programs and Activities and History sections as outlined below? Any of the programs not listed below should no longer be on the page. Jjjack333 (talk) 16:22, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
Programs and activities: This section should read:
ACE coordinates programs and activities in a number of areas related to higher education, including policy and advocacy, leadership, attainment and innovation, internationalization, and research.
• ACE’s Government Relations and National Engagement division communicates with congressional and presidential administration staff members about policy issues important to the higher education community. This includes submitting comments on proposed legislation and regulations, filing amicus curiae briefs in legal cases, and providing testimony for congressional hearings. The division also provides information on education issues and on ACE’s policy positions to the media, the general public, and members of the higher education community.[2]
• The ACE Fellows Program focuses on the study and practice of higher education leadership through a one-year placement at another institution.[3]
• The ACE Women’s Network connects women in higher education to support the professional development and advancement of women in the industry. The ACE Women’s Network Executive Council leads the Moving the Needle: Advancing Women in Higher Education Leadership® initiative, which works to increase gender parity in higher education senior leadership.[4]
• ACE Learning Evaluations maintains the ACE Military Guide and the ACE National Guide, catalogues of recommendation information for educational experiences.[5]
• ACE’s Education Futures division coordinates the council’s research, programs, communities, and innovation activities.
• The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education® have been housed at ACE since February 2022. [6]
- Not done the vast majority of this is either directly copied or very closely paraphrased from the source. This is (1) a copyright violation and (2) not appropriate for Wikipedia, which doesn't exist to parrot what an organization says on its website. The existing section ... isn't any better, actually, and unsourced on top of that, I may just cut this altogether. Rusalkii (talk) 01:35, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
History: Most of this section is okay. Below are only changes requested.
Change "Twenty-first century (2001–Present)" to "The New Millennium (2001–19)"
In this section, in the second to last paragraph, add after "...Texas at Austin" "...and in 2022 to the Supreme Court regarding the Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard and SFFA v. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill cases." [7]
- Partly done I don't think it's appropriate to add a new section just for one paragraph, keeping this as through present for now. Rusalkii (talk) 01:35, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
Added new sub section that heads.
Recent Years (2020–Present) In 2022, ACE and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching announced that the Universal and Elective Classifications would be housed at ACE. [8]
- Why it should be changed:
The article is outdated and much of the information is now incorrect. These changes simply update the outdated info.
