Sitka Building
editI know that the Sitka building was donated by Mt. Edgecumbe High School (All ages Boarding school and hospital at the time) which was under the control of the BIA at the time. I only know this because I attend the school and have visited the UAS Campus in Sitka several times. There is a plaque proving this donation at the footsteps of the college. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alchier (talk • contribs) 06:01, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Structure
editThis article could be improved by referencing the recommended structure and added info about academics (research/reputation), admissions and costs and citing some of the university's recent recognitions in terms of Military Friendly Schools, op LGBTQ-Friendly Online Schools for 2017 by SR Education Group, etc. ~~ Shackpoet (talk) 00:48, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- I'm supposed to believe that all that is more important than a history section, which this article lacks? The lack of a history section is usually the first clue that the article was intended to be promotional from the start. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 09:47, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

University of Alaska Southeast → UA Southeast – WP:COMMONNAME. Theparties (talk) 13:59, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. The full name provides a WP:TITLECON consistent naming convention across all articles on universities and colleges in the United States. Many reliable sources like Forbes and US News and World Report still use the full name. The OP has also made numerous individual RMs on this same issue like this one, which may violate WP:ACROTITLE or use a shorter common name that is rarely used outside a sports/athletic context. Better to stick to the status quo. Zzyzx11 (talk) 14:52, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose as unnecessary, unwise, and confusing for readers. ElKevbo (talk) 15:00, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, per the comments of Zzyzx11. —Eyer (he/him) If you reply, add
{{reply to|Eyer}}to your message. 16:19, 22 December 2024 (UTC) - Oppose per WP:TITLEFORMAT#Avoid ambiguous abbreviations, WP:ACROTITLE, and what Zzyzx11 and ElKevbo said. The proposed title is not sufficiently explanatory to people unfamiliar with the university. – Epicgenius (talk) 22:38, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
