On several occasions a short list of awards won by NJIT alumni have been either removed or relocated from the opening paragraphs (3 in all) in the NJIT page. I am perplexed by this as a review of other stem-focused schools shows that most have similar listings in their opening paragraphs. So, it appears that if the school is famous enough, such lists are OK but for lesser-known schools it's a no-no. Among its alumni, NJIT counts a Turing Award winner, Judea Pearl, a congressional medal of Honor winner - one of the monuments men - and National Medal of Technology and Innovation recipient. Call me biased but I think it's pretty clear that a double-standard is in place and has been for quite a while. For example, check out MIT or Stanford or Harvard or Carnegie Mellon or NYU or University of Pennsylvania or University of Texas at Austin or University of California, at: Los Angeles, San Diago, Santa Barbara, etc. etc. (my hand is getting tired.) SO, what gives??? Rrsimone ( talk) 17:42, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
