Does being a UARC quality as an academic affiliation?
Doing a spot check, it doesn't look like being a UARC is usually listed under academic affiliations. I could be way off base, but is that an appropriate thing to list under academic_affiliations? Darkage7[Talk] 17:10, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Darkage7, are you talking about on the UARC's page? I think {{Infobox institute}} might be a better fit for such an article, but if this one is to be used,
|parent=would probably work better than|academic_affiliations=. Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} talk 18:55, 14 July 2023 (UTC)- For example, the University of Washington's Applied Physics Lab is a UARC, affiliated with the Navy. Under UW's "academic affiliations" it doesn't list it. It does list that it's a space-grant and a sea-grant university. It seems to me like that might be an appropriate place to list that it's also a UARC. Perhaps I'm just barking up the wrong tree. The more I think about it perhaps such a connection is more appropriate for the Lab entity's specific page, rather than the University itself. Darkage7[Talk] 19:08, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, I would save that for the lab's page.
|academic_affiliations=has in its description that it should be used only forAcademic organizations of which the institution is a member and provide essential definition of the institution (mission, values, activities, etc.).
A lab within the university being affiliated with the Navy doesn't mean that the university as a whole is defined by that affiliation. (I'd also say that being space grant isn't an affiliation that warrants listing, cc ElKevbo.) {{u|Sdkb}} talk 19:23, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
