@ Ɱ: this assertion about 3rd largest comes up twice in the article, once in the lede and once in the body. The link to another article about largest universities places Ohio at fifth place, not third, and the reference to support "third" is a dead link. I did not delete it because it was a dead link, but because it is an incorrect reference. I propose deleting the incorrect assertions again. -- Melchior2006 ( talk) 13:35, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Can we nail down what exactly these are referring to, if anything, so that they can be worked on or removed as needed? Ysjet ( talk) 01:02, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
