Shouldn't this list be only alumni? If one wants a list of faculty, shouldn't that be at a list entitled thus? --Bob 07:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Alumnus says, "Recently, the definition of "alumni" has expanded to include people who have departed from any kind of organization or program." This list uses this expanded reading. — Michael Fourman 05:22, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Then it should be seperated out into actual alumni and former staff. --Bob 15:48, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I guess you mean "graduates and former staff". I dont think that would make the article easier to digest, and these categories overlap. Each linked entry makes the status clear. I will add a clarification at head of article — Michael Fourman 20:48, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
