The article says 'all but two universities' but then lists 3. ??? -- Brian Josephson ( talk) 10:28, 18 June 2020 (UTC) reply

It doesn't help that the source (on page 22) doesn't specify any of the universities it means. So we really have two conflicting claims, with a reference in favor of "two" and no reference supporting "three" or the list of specific universities. I'm going to delete said list until someone can back it up somehow.— GreenWeasel11 ( talk) 09:26, 1 June 2021 (UTC) reply
