Talk:Students

This section needs to be organized better. I suggest breaking the students page into several categories, including 'student groups,' 'student services,' 'current students,' etc. --Jacob


 * this section is for students to identify other students from an academic point of view, Joseph


 * There's got to be a better way to organize this page than the five schools. It smacks of departmentalism and excludes students who don't know where they fit or don't see themselves as part of a school.  --TK


 * There's an extensive "concentrations" list page somewhere - you could link students through that, but this seems to me to be quite a simple yet functional method to search based on academic grounds. Perhaps add an undeclared school?--Rob 22:48, 29 January 2008 (MST)


 * I'd also suggest sub-fields for the schools, as (particularly in HACU) they are quite academically diverse.--Rob 22:52, 29 January 2008 (MST)


 * I've said it before, and I'd like to reiterate -- can we come up with a better way to organize students? Splitting them down school lines seems... arbitrary.  Actually, anything we do is arbitrary, so can we have multiple ways to identify students?  Say, a list of students by hall, list of students by entering year, list of students by school, even by division.  We could get the list of students by year put together by an automated bot if someone has the programming skills for that.  --Jacob
 * What we can do is to add categories to the profiles that go beyond "students".... like academic topic, neighborhood, concentration, division, year of entry, advisor.... (Josehampediaacconut 22:58, 24 March 2008 (MST))
 * I think there's reasonable precedent in Wikipedia to have multiple list pages for the same content. This page could be converted into "Students by Academic School" while another list might have "Students by Residence" or even "Students by Faculty/Staff Collaborator."  A unified "Students" page would certainly help outside observers, but that doesn't mean it should be the only method of arrangement.--TK
 * Sounds good. How do you suggest we convert this section so that all students are in all the sections? (Josehampediaacconut 08:05, 25 March 2008 (MST))
