Sourcing and purpose of an encyclopedia article

Encyclopedia articles are by definition tertiary. Other than the most mundane information, article content must come from reliable sources independent of the school. The purpose of this article is not to communicate what the school wants communicated nor is it to publicize the school. Instead, this, like any article here, is to summarize the available published information about the school. If no one outside the school is writing about it, it does not belong in the article.
