This article is lopsided
[edit]James Bowley gets nearly half again as many words (not counting citations) as the whole rest of the history combined. I have no problem with his incident being mentioned/explained, but the degree to which it dominates the article is lopsided: does this imbalance accurately represent the article's subject? I tend to think not. ~2026-26006-10 (talk) 17:33, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

- I am affiliated with Millsaps College and would like to suggest a revision to the section discussing the dismissal of James Bowley.
- The current section appears to give significant weight and detail to a single personnel matter. I’d like to propose a shorter, more neutral version for consideration:
- Proposed text:
- In 2024, Millsaps College dismissed professor James Bowley following an email he sent to students regarding the presidential election. The decision drew responses from various groups, including the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, which criticized the college’s actions, while college representatives disputed those claims. The situation also prompted discussion among faculty regarding institutional policies and procedures.
- I welcome feedback or suggested revisions from other editors. ~2026-27575-42 (talk) 14:52, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
