Diversity and income
- 80% White
- 15% Low-income
What single factor best explains the extraordinary low ethnic diversity and lack of low-income students? Most universities on the west coast have nothing this polarized. Could it be argued that blue states present better educational opportunities for their populations while red states only cater to the white and wealthy? Viriditas (talk) 21:37, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
Colleges
I added a paragraph on the current nine colleges. But the information on the individual colleges may be incorrect or misleading. For example the justification for the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences appears to be reasons given for the former College of Engineering and Science.
Universities may change colleges and departments often. Trying to justify reasons to outsiders or even its own faculty and students may be a fruitless endeavor. KudzuVine (talk) 18:05, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Airports
Template:Replyto Hi! While airports are not common on most higher ed pages, I added the airports on the basis that Clemson University is a census-designated place; Clemson University, South Carolina (that is, the standard article name for the "place") redirects to Clemson University. Wikipedia functions as a gazeteer, and transportation is expected as a topic in an article about a human settlement - a city, town, village, or CDP. (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline). In adding the transportation section I was treating Clemson University as an article on a human settlement, and I stated such in my edit summary.

- The lede makes it clear that the university is located "near" Clemson, South Carolina; that is the appropriate place for airport information and other transport details. For a highered article, this info is WP:UNDUE. Melchior2006 (talk) 08:37, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
