I'm not sure why an unregistered editor is edit warring to add "non-profit" to the lede of this article. Nearly all colleges and universities are non-profit so we usually omit that. Adding that information to the lede would like adding statements like "teaches classes," "enrolls students," and "employs faculty" to the lede - it's true but it's so trite and ubiquitous that it's unnecessary to explicitly state. We typically only note when an institution is a for-profit institution just as we would note anything else that is highly unusual and important for readers to know immediately.
