Untitled[edit]

I have created this page from the content at Columbia College, which is now a disambiguation page. mat334 | talk 09:54, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

copyright infringement[edit]

The whole history section of this page is copy-pasted from Columbia College's "about" page at colum.edu . That's a problem and needs to be changed.

Notable Faculty Members section[edit]

I saw the note about "only REALLY notable faculty members should be listed...if they're not listed here already chances are they're not notable" and decided to come to the discussion page for a question. Are only current faculty members to be listed? Because Pauline Brailsford was a Theater department teacher, but I understand she's since retired. Or perchance there's some other reason for her exclusion? Fitfatfighter (talk) 04:41, 8 July 2008 (UTC) EDIT: I know it'll seem like I'm replying to myself here but I want to bring up two more current faculty members, regarding being "notable enough to be listed." David Cromer, part-time faculty member and also attended briefly: award-winning theatrical director(Adding Machine (musical)); and Albert Williams, chief theater critic for the Chicago Reader. I'll give it a few days in case someone replies before I put all of them in. Fitfatfighter (talk) 03:19, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No responses, so I'm adding them. Fitfatfighter (talk) 05:52, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Columbia College does have notable facility. You guys do what you will and decide what you will. 2602:306:BC77:4CC0:7D31:C63E:869E:CA1D (talk) 01:12, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
