Talk:UNCF

message: In the first paragraph of the article, the UNCF is described as supporting students at 39 HBCUs.  In the next paragraph, it claims that UNCF supported students at 900 college and universities.  This is directly contradictory.  Can someone please fix this?  71.77.12.236 03:31, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This might not be a contradiction at all.  In the former paragraph, the UNCF is described as supporting students at 39 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HCBUs); the second does not make that distinction.  According to their Website, the UNCF supports students of all ethnicities at HCBUs, and mostly African-American students (with some exceptions) at non-HBCU schools.Carlaclaws 05:59, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The controversy section is completely unsourced and made up mostly of weasel terms.  If sources can't be found for it, it should be deleted.  I'm going to Google the issue and see what I can find.  If anybody can find sources, please feel free to add citations.  janejellyroll 04:47, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The statement made in the motto section is not a significant fact, at the very least it misplaced as it does not have anything to do with the motto. William conway bcc 02:32, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree 100%.  It should be removed unless we want to start a section on all somewhat notable supporters of the organization.  janejellyroll 03:57, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Scholarship amount???

message: I think we could add a section referring to this. One example is it being mentioned in Mr. Deeds as a popular charity for Adam Sandler to donate to. 161.185.151.150 (talk) 16:56, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The logo depicted in the fact box is outdated. The UNCF modified its logo several years ago to the one on this page (number 6). I'm unable to update the logo on the Wikipedia page to reflect this change. Would someone please make this change?

message: I'm surprised there seems to be no partnership between Howard University and the UNCF, as Howard is an HBU just a few minutes north of the UNCF on 7th Street/Georgia Avenue. I wonder if we're missing anything on that front. --BDD (talk) 20:08, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

message: It should probably be noted somewhere that most of UNCF's regional affiliates have changed their name to simply the United Fund of [wherever], in recognition that negro has become a disfavored term.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  09:38, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I noted the main web site has moved away to use UNCF.  Do you have some sources we can cite for "united fund"?   I found http://diverseeducation.com/article/10514/ from 2008 among others for using the initials.  --Erp (talk) 02:16, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Just Google it.:-)  Per WP:ABOUTSELF, any of their publications that use it are sufficient sources that it's among the organization's names.  I do agree that a detailed perusal of the main website does in fact show consistent use of "UNCF", without ever expanding it.  Thats probably the name this article should use.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  20:20, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
