Hi,
I can't find anything on the net, and especially not on the Five College's website, anything that suggests it's a consortium of "the most selective and prestigious national liberal arts colleges in the U.S. state of Ohio." This seems to be a POV statement, unless one can show that those five colleges are indeed the five most selective and most prestigious colleges in Ohio.
I would suggest that something more along the lines of "The Five Colleges of Ohio is a consortium of five liberal arts colleges in the state of Ohio that is made up of The College of Wooster, Denison University..." would be considered more NPOV.

RickK, I'd say that the word "selective" is fair in this context, as a citation for the claim has been made in the text (average PR selectivity rating of 95). Either way, it doesn't seem make sense to take out "selective" from the first sentence, yet leave "among the most selective" lower down. — Asbestos | Talk. 17:29, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
