I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: A number of editors of this article appear to have a close personal or professional connection with the topic, and thus to have a conflict of interest; I've added three of them higher up this page. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting  (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted. 
Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:23, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conflict of interest 

message: My name is Berenice Cocciolillo and I work in web communications for John Cabot University. I previously added some copyrighted material to this page and have since then become more educated about Wikipedia's rules, especially around conflict of interest. In compliance with WP:COI, I would like to request an editor consider the new content located here. In particular I'll ping , who appears to be active at Wikipedia:College and university article advice and university articles in general.
:Hi, Berenice! Thanks for your very proper COI declaration and for using . However, I don't think anyone is going to want to go through the whole of your draft to see which changes are, and which are not, appropriate. The best edit requests are short, to the point, and supported by reliable sources. Typically, a request of the form "Please modify the sentence 'Foo …' to read 'Bar …', to reflect what is written in source Baz" is likely to receive consideration (sooner or later). Paid editors need to take care not to overtax the patience and goodwill of the rest of us, who are volunteers; this is partly because it's counter-productive to do so, but also because (in severe cases) doing so can be regarded as WP:disruptive editing.

replies: text: Of course I will go through your draft. I always do when anyone asks me, It's the appropriate way for a coi editor to make a replacement article, and I wish people did it more frequently instead of just suggesting little changes. I know some editors have in the past refused to do so, and I never did understand why--its no worse that reviewing Draft space new articles; if the suggestion should be worthless, all that needs to be done is to say so.  To even suggest t that this might be disruptive editing is not really appropriate.  DGG ( talk ) 16:59, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: This college claims to be nonprofit in Delaware, where it has no campus or offices. However it only operates in Italy, where it is not registered as nonprofit — it is no accident they don't claim to be nonprofit in Italy, nor does the Italian Ministry of Economy say the school is nonprofit. So it is a Delawarean non-for-profit institution not located in Delaware, which actually operates as a for-profit institution abroad. Confusing? Yes. Are there any tax reasons? Maybe. --5.170.128.150 (talk) 22:46, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Some proposed changes

message: I would like to request that the sentence about the University of Wales be removed since it is irrelevant and implies wrongdoing on the part of John Cabot University. The BBC article cited as a source does not mention John Cabot University. Here is the sentence: "Degrees in business administration, international affairs and public administration were formerly accredited by the University of Wales,[4]:55 which was abolished in 2011 after revelations of abusive accreditation."[6]
Thank you. Berenice at John Cabot University (talk) 20:37, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: As formulated, the statement could be read as implying some sort of (unsourced) connection between John Cabot University and the "abusive accreditation", which would be original research and inappropriate. On the other hand removing only the second part of the statement could be read as promoting the university on the basis of an accreditation that might be seen as "tainted". I am inclined to remove the statement completely. --Boson (talk) 21:28, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Accreditation: University of Wales information 

message: Why is line "About 66% of the students are female" in the top section of this article?  It isn't standard to have the gender ratio located in such a prominent spot.  It's also strange to have this stat in the article at all when none of the other standard college statistics are featured.95.251.237.152 (talk) 00:00, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I would suggest moving it to a separate section with student numbers, demographics, etc. --Boson (talk) 19:32, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  66% Female 

message: I have the impression that this is slipping through the net.
The draft version by a COI editor is now at Draft:John Cabot University. It was submitted as if it were an article for creation and thus rejected, since this article already exists. I think the understanding was that the draft should be discussed here rather than being submitted under AfC. I suspect the author of the draft does not know how to proceed and feels abandoned. In any case the article needs fixing. The draft article is now eligible for deletion as an abandoned draft. Since it may contain something useful, I am inclined to request postponement of deletion for the time being and discuss individual changes here (if necessary with reference to the draft article).   --Boson (talk) 18:24, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now added some of the information from the draft at Afc, omitting the more promotional material. I hope the edit summaries are sufficient for attribution. It may still benefit from some pruning and copy-editing. --Boson (talk) 12:43, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discussion of draft  

message: I would like to suggest that the heading "Status" be changed to "Campus" and the "Campus" section at the end be removed since it repeats some of the information under "Status." Thank you. Berenice at John Cabot University (talk) 16:26, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
