Talk:Institute of Actuaries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Institute / Faculty

Is it really necessary for the institute and faculty to have different pages? They claim to be separate bodies but lets face it; they're exactly the same. They produce the exact same legislation and exams and even share a website. It's kind of pointless having two different Wikipedia pages. Absolutely any and everything that applies to one applies to the other with the small exceptions of the words "Institute" and "Faculty". Memebers get the same benefits and we can all see each other in the Institute/Faculty's directory. We can also join the same actuarial dining clubs, sit our exams at the same time,(and can even do so at the same location), and get our results at the same time which are posted up with everyone's names regardless of which body the person officially belongs to not to mention all members have access to the same facilities regardless of which body they belong to.--Zoso Jade 10:58, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

They are legally distinct, and known by their individual names rather than a combined name, so I would think they should be left as separate articles. With the linkages explained. Psnae 23:56, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

In this, agreed. They are very similar, but not identical. -- Avi 22:02, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
