For-profit status and adding ref note[edit]

As the article correctly states, the U.S. Department of Education classifies GCU as a "for-profit" institution (due to ongoing contracts and ties with its former for-profit owner, Grand Canyon Education). However, in 2018, GCU successfully transitioned to a non-profit status with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education, and its regional accreditor, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC).[1] I think the Refn template should be added after "for profit" to clarify GCU's unique non-profit/for-profit status situation.

There was an RfC a few years ago - you can read it in the archives of this Talk page (linked at the top of the page). If you think that consensus may have changed since then, you're welcome to open another RfC. ElKevbo (talk) 04:43, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Substantial re-write needed for some sections[edit]

Added copy edit tag to Rankings, recognition, statistics, and accreditation. Review needed for tone and importance. Could consolidate the second paragraph (statistics) with the paragraph on entrance requirements in Academics.

Description and History are well written. Campuses, Academics, Athletics and Rankings all need attention.

Expecting the page to get seasonal traffic since the men's basketball team made the NCAA tournament. Hireddense (talk) 01:45, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
