Talk:Oklahoma Christian University

message: The concise inclusion of Oklahoma Christian University's Title IX exemption is in line with Wikipedia policies listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not. The following specific Wikipedia policies prohibit editing of this brief and relevant statement that is cited with a link to the US Department of Education's website. 
Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion
4. Advertising, marketing or public relations. Information about companies and products must be written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery. All article topics must be verifiable with independent, third-party sources, so articles about very small garage bands or local companies are typically unacceptable. Wikipedia articles about a person, company or organization are not an extension of their website, press releases, or other social media marketing efforts. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they identify notable organizations which are the topic of the article. Wikipedia neither endorses organizations nor runs affiliate programs. See also Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for guidelines on corporate notability. Those promoting causes or events, or issuing public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so. Contributors must disclose any payments they receive for editing Wikipedia. See also Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.
Wikipedia is not censored
Wikipedia may contain content that some readers consider objectionable or offensive‍—‌even exceedingly so. Attempting to ensure that articles and images will be acceptable to all readers, or will adhere to general social or religious norms, is incompatible with the purposes of an encyclopedia.
Content will be removed if it is judged to violate Wikipedia's policies (especially those on biographies of living persons and using a neutral point of view) or the laws of the United States (where Wikipedia is hosted). However, because most edits are displayed immediately, inappropriate material may be visible to readers, for a time, before being detected and removed.
Some articles may include images, text, or links which are relevant to the topic but that some people find objectionable. Discussion of potentially objectionable content should usually focus not on its potential offensiveness but on whether it is an appropriate image, text, or link. Beyond that, "being objectionable" is generally not sufficient grounds for the removal of content. The Wikipedia:Offensive material guideline can help assess appropriate actions to take in the case of content that may be considered offensive.
Some organizations' rules or traditions call for secrecy with regard to certain information about them. Such restrictions do not apply to Wikipedia, because Wikipedia is not a member of those organizations; thus, Wikipedia will not remove such information from articles if it is otherwise encyclopedic. 
The policy that Wikipedia is not censored also contains the following quote which is longer than the one-sentence Title IX addition: 
"The University is not engaged in making ideas safe for students. It is engaged in making students safe for ideas. Thus it permits the freest expression of views before students, trusting to their good sense in passing judgment on these views." - Clark Kerr, President of the University of California (1961)[5]

thread_title:  Title IX Exemption 

message: The update to the OC Trustees is concise and cited with an appropriate link at https://www.oc.edu/about/president/board-of-trustees. The veracity of this claim is clear from the listing of each organization the trustee represents on the OC Board of Trustees webpage. Wikipedia's policies for censorship and editing by paid editors representing corporations should be followed and this should not be reverted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.15.246.139 (talk) 20:39, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: "University has board of trustees and they support the university's policies" is not information that adds anything to this article or informs readers of anything that isn't already patently obvious. Should we also add a sentence to the article telling readers that the university employs faculty who teach classes, too? ElKevbo (talk) 01:37, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  The claim that the board has representatives of various organisations is not backed up by the source cited. That someone is affiliated with an organisation does not mean they represent that organisation; that requires a source saying that they have been appointed as representatives of those organisations on the board (presumably in a manner similar to the Court of a British university). The claim that "OC's policies have a wide base of support" does not appear to be supported by any citation; it certainly cannot be deduced from the existence of the Board of Directors – even if true, this would be WP:Original Research.

replies: text: Agreed with Robminchin that the given reference doesn't come close to supporting the claim in the text that . I do think that a comprehensive university article ought to mention (with suitable references) if it's governed by a board of trustees, though—it's an important part of the university's structure, even if not particularly distinctive.  talk 06:22, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with ElKevbo and Robminchin that the claim is not supported by the references. Trustees at all universities are often affiliated with organizations and companies, that does not mean that those organization and companies support the mission statement of the university, particularly if it is religious in nature. The most that can be said given the current resources is that there is a Board of Trustees and that members of the Board are affiliated with several national companies and orgs, certainly nothing about support of policies.

thread_title:  OC Trustees 

message: Does anyone else think that this article is very self-promotional in places? There is already a message in place in the "Campus" section, but I am seeing it in other places throughout the article as well. I wouldn't be surprised if there was conflict of interest by faculty or other involved parties editing this page. Anyone have any thoughts? TNstingray (talk) 15:25, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
