Edit request - UIUC College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
editPart of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. Please see the Reply quote box below for additional information about this request. |
I'm requesting edits because this page is out-of-date and incomplete. I work for this college, and am aware of the COI guidelines. I'm hoping the page can be moved to change the name to College of Liberal Arts & Sciences at the University of Illinois, as the university no longer uses the acronym "UIUC," and the ampersand is an official part of the college's name.
I'm also requesting that the copy of the page be updated. Many more programs than listed are ranked, and information about its general education requirements are no longer relevant. My proposed copy, below, includes statistics and other facts about the college, including the dean who was appointed in January 2017. It replaces outdated statistical information currently included.
I've also linked to the college list of academic units, and request that you remove the units currently listed in this article. The mix of units is constantly changing, so linking to the college's website is a better way to make sure users find accurate information.
I've included citations for all of my requested edits, and worked hard to use neutral, factual information.

The College of Liberal Arts & Sciences is the largest and most diverse college on campus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It's home to about a third of students and faculty members at Illinois. The college is home to 37 academic departments, five schools, and nine centers and institutes. It offers more than 70 majors. More than 99 percent of all Illinois students take a class in the college, and it offers about 1,500 unique classes each semester.[1] Feng Sheng Hu, the Harry E. Preble Dean of the College of LAS and Ralph E. Grim Professor in Geology, began serving in that position in January 2017.[2] Upon being appointed, he described the college as "a leader in interdisciplinary scholarship, innovative teaching, and diversity and inclusivity."[3] Students LAS' Life + Career Design Initiative uses design thinking strategies to help students harness their areas of study to prepare them for rewarding personal and professional lives.[5] In 2018, the college announced that 86 percent of bachelor's degree recipients in the class of 2016-17 secured a first destination-employment, continuing education, or volunteer/service positions-within six months of graduation.[6]

Edit request - UIUC College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
editThis edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Thanks for your careful review of my proposed edits. I've cut down my requested edit to factual claims that can be verified. One thing I'm not clear on is references for our list of alumni. I did go back and verify our Nobel Laureate and Pulitzer Prize winners, and realized we'd been sharing the wrong number. I've shared the lists of those names below, in the section on alumni. What other references should be included for each of those alumni?
- Please note: the answer to this alumni question is given in Note #10 of my edit request review shown below. 07:35, 11 July 2018 (UTC) spintendo
Also, I wanted to ask again - would you please consider changing/moving the name of this page to College of Liberal Arts & Sciences at the University of Illinois? Thank you again for all of your help!

Below is the alphabetized list of alumni you requested. And certainly, renaming to "College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign" would be acceptable. Would it be possible to use an ampersand in "Liberal Arts & Sciences," as that's included in our college's brand guidelines? And, would you please make sure Roger Ebert and Hugh Hefner are not included as alumni on our page? They both graduated from the College of Media at the University of Illinois.
