Talk:Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business

message: NOTE: I am proposing this edit for FleishmanHillard on behalf of AACSB. I am a paid editor and am aware of the COI guidelines.
I propose that the final sentence in the introductory paragraph, "In 2016 it lost recognition by the Council for Higher Accreditation," be changed to "In 2016 it withdrew from CHEA recognition" for greater accuracy.
The source (reference 4) never mentions AACSB losing its CHEA recognition, but instead states that, "At its July 25-26, 2016 meeting, the CHEA Committee on Recognition recommended that CHEA deny recognition to AACSB International-The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). On September 23, 2016, AACSB withdrew from CHEA recognition." The source never uses the word 'lost' or 'losing,' and the History section of the article states that "The association withdrew from CHEA recognition on September 23, 2016." I would argue that changing the final sentence in the introductory paragraph to state that AACSB withdrew from CHEA recognition rather than lost it more accurately reflects the source used for the statement.
Thank you for your consideration!
SECOND NOTE: I realized I didn't include the actual coding to formally submit the edit request, which I've included now for an editor to review. Thanks! (20 July 2018)

replies: text: , this is just a comment, not an answer (since I declined the last request, I'm going to leave it to someone else to answer this one). As I understand it, the association "withdrew" from the CHEA once it had become completely clear that its recognition would be removed; in my opinion, "lost" is is good short description of that process, while "withdrew" presents a distorted and one-sided view of the facts. Someone else may see it differently, though. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:00, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have to agree. It is clearly stated that the CHEA Recognition Committee denied recognition to AACSB International. It was at this stage that the AACSB withdrew its application. So, the current term used, i.e. "lost" is reasonable and accurate. Audit Guy (talk) 02:52, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the input from both of you! Understand both points of view. Could you argue that the wording of the summary may be biased since the decision is coming from CHEA? Also, the summary does not clearly state that the Committee on Recognition denied recognition to AACSB International, but rather that it recommended denying recognition. I understand 's argument that AACSB may have only withdrew once it was becoming clear that its recognition would be removed, but I'd argue that there's a better way to phrase it rather than just using "lost." It isn't as concise as saying "lost" but maybe something along the lines of "AACSB withdrew from CHEA recognition in 2016 after the CHEA Committee on Recognition recommended that CHEA deny recognition to the organization" would be a better way of accurately phrasing it? Happy to hear additional opinions and talk through any of the points. Alec Voss (talk) 19:09, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: If the above conversation accurately describes what happened then I agree that we should not use Wikipedia's voice to say that this organization "lost" recognition.  I think that Alec's suggestion above makes sense.  (Of course, we can also address this by directly quoting any high quality sources that explicitly say "lost" and attributing the quotation.)
