Talk:List of Johns Hopkins University people

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've removed all copyrighted images used under fair use, since none had fair use rationales applicable to this page, and since in general we discourage fair use for lists. I've replaced as many as I could with free images, but I'm sure others on this list could be found to be illustrated (I'll look for a couple more myself). Please see the fair use criteria and fair use policy for more information. Thanks. Chick Bowen 01:08, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

If more are wanted (or to replace Tori Amos, who didn't graduate) I've found Image:Murray Kempton.jpg or Image:Gertrude Stein 1935-01-04.jpg for the literature section, Image:Kweisi Mfume delivering speech at NOAA.jpg or Image:Georgelpradcliffe.jpg for the government section, and Image:Paul Nitze.jpeg for the faculty section, all free. More are out there. Chick Bowen 01:50, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Why in the world is Johns Hopkins claiming Madeleine Albright as an alumna, or even someone "associated with" the university? Did she stop by the cafeteria for a bagel? Did she ever complete even one course at JH? Did she enroll, stay for a few weeks and then hit the road? Hey, JH, please try to be a little more honest.

How about because she is an alumna. :http://www.greatwomen.org/women.php?action=viewone&id=7 "she studied international relations at Johns Hopkins University"], "...with alumni such as...former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright", and thtas just oh 2 of the various places that state she attended. Oh an do take not, that one does not need to graduate form an instutuion to be considered an alumna of.

In reply:

An alumna is "a person who has received a degree from a school."

Madeleine Albright has no degree from Johns Hopkins.

To place her on the JH list of prominent grads (such as Woodrow Wilson) is a joke.

In short, JH is simply trying to exploit her name and position. It makes JH (and its SAIS school) look silly.

[edit] Undergrads?

Once again, an outstanding list of alumni obscured by the mixing of graduate and undergraduate degree recipients. People want to understand the character of a college by its graduates. People who enroll for graduate degrees belong to a significantly different population -- they can clearly be included on a larger list, but it should be possible to see the undergraduate list by itself. A school as good as this ought to be transparent about the difference. If degrees were listed, I could create a filtered list in perhaps ten minutes. Unfortunately, this has not been done here.
