One of the oldest founded in 1870[edit]

Because of the closing of the school press articles are using information from the article - particularly quoting "one of the oldest" even though there is no source for that claim. Considering Boston Conservatory, Cooper Union (art and design), Oberlin (conservatory/music school) etc. are much older I wonder where the basis for this sentence comes from and if it should be edited.

Not closed until June 7[edit]

Can the editors who are changing the lede sentence to the past tense ("was a private...") please stop doing that until the university actually closes? The article and the sources it cites explicitly say that the university will not close until June 7. Thanks! ElKevbo (talk) 21:36, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
