Should the New England Institute of Art have it's location changed to Brookline, MA? That's where it is located. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.40.24 ( talk) 11:29, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm removing an item about the two photographers. They are not the only two women. Per the Pulitzer Prize Feature Photography Page, I count no less than five female Pulitzer prize winning female pjs, not to mention those who may have won the award as part of a collabritive effort at a newspaper. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.227.113.225 ( talk) 02:25, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
It was suggested that this article be merged with The Art Institutes International- Kansas City, but it should not be. The Kansas City location is a disticnt and separate branch of The Art Institutes system of schools. Each Art Institutes school is separately accredited on its own. If you merged this, you would have to merge literally all forty Art Institutes school pages and a lot of valuable information would be lost.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DM7 ( talk • contribs) 13:57, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
THe Art Institute of Colorado (Denver) is missing from this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.51.109.66 ( talk) 19:24, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. Favonian ( talk) 17:27, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
The Art Institutes → Art Institutes (for-profit college) – Instead of a ridiculous list of links in the header, I propose a move of this page to Art Institutes (for-profit college) or similar and a disambig page be created to help direct readers where they intend to go. The list in the article header is unsightly and unwieldy. TKK bark ! 13:01, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
This is one sad article. There is nothing about the programs taught or the problems going on.

Greetings, anyone who may have this page watchlisted. I have been working on behalf of Education Management Corporation (EDMC) for the last few months to research and improve articles related to their organization. (For anyone who is unaware, EDMC is The Art Institutes' parent company.) I've just completed a substantial revision to this article—which even a quick glance will reveal that it needs—along with a secondary list article to account for the list currently included in this page, both presented here for others to review and discuss.
My revised draft for this article is in my user space here:
To help other editors understand my goals in rewriting it, I'll discuss the current version of the article and what's new here:
Other minor changes include:
To account for the current list section in the article, I'd like to suggest the creation of a List of The Art Institutes locations list article. The draft version of this article is in my user space here:
A few notes on this draft:
Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to review this request. With my COI I will only be editing drafts in my user space and not the live articles, so I am looking for an editor to review what I have prepared and help implement these changes when consensus has been reached. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll respond here as soon as I can! Cheers, WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 22:05, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
Is it worth noting that the Entire chain of schools has been having massive layoffs for the past year and a half? I mention this since, while it is EDMC laying off employees, it is the schools that are affected. Google is returning many pages of student voicing their concerns and even registering domains to speak out.

She keeps removing sections with legal information. I undid the edit but suddenly it is gone again. Nice to see EDMC can regulate what shows up on the wiki entry here.
Hello, I worked with editors last year to help improve this article and I've been keeping an eye on it since then. As noted previously, my involvement has been on behalf of the Art Institutes' parent company, Education Management Corporation (EDMC). Yesterday, an IP editor made an edit to this article's lede that doesn't pertain to the Art Institutes, only EDMC. The new sentence is:
This topic is covered in detail in the EDMC article in the Education_Management_Corporation#Legal_issues section. If other editors agree that this sentence isn't appropriate for an article about the Art Institutes, I'd like to suggest removing it. Cheers, WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 19:10, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
Checking in, I don't see any activity on this recently but will stop by to see if there is any consensus. Market St.⧏ ⧐ Diamond Way 04:31, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
I was asked to have a look at this discussion by WWB Too, given his inability to find someone willing to give a third opinion and my interactions with him in editing Brown Mackie College. After reading this discussion and the lead section, I can say that I don't believe the bit about EDMC should be included in the lead of the AI article, and it probably doesn't belong in the article at all. Unless the lawsuits specifically involved an AI school or had some material impact on an AI school, I'm not sure why it merits mention here. Our users are smart enough to click through to the EDMC article and read all about the details of the parent company – lawsuits and all – for themselves. All that said, if there is a specific lawsuit involving an AI school – and the above discussion seems to indicate that there is – that needs to be investigated to see if it belongs here.

After looking through most of the bluelinks on List of The Art Institutes locations, I see that very few have independent references establishing notability of that particular location. A proposal to merge locations into the main article was discussed here in 2011, and opposed by several editors, mostly IPs. I think this proposal should be revisited, given that most locations do not meet the notability criteria set in WP:NSCHOOL, WP:CHAIN and WP:BRANCH, or the general notability guideline, and as such, should be merged, redirected, or deleted as non-notable. Dialectric ( talk) 18:54, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Many of the branches are inherently notable as they were formerly independent colleges, before being acquired by The Art Institutes. We shouldn't have a list article that's overwhelmed by information about the history of a bunch of separate schools. So I could see merging the articles that are stubs (or that become stubs after some prudent trimming), but with an eye toward spinning them out again as separate articles when needed.
