Questions[edit]

This article is almost unusable because of the giant infoboxes that push successive sections far beyond the bottom of the screen. The "member schools" box is a particular offender, and the term "member school" is not defined. What does it mean to be a "member" of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund? — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 18:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted the two boxes, the first of which is duplicated at the foot of the article anyway. The "Corporate Leadership Award" is simply a gesture by the fund to its major donors, and is not notable. — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 19:01, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is the fund directly connected to Thurgood Marshall, or only named after him? Can we find sources other than the fund's own website that provide verifiable information about the fund? — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 19:07, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article appears accurate and straightforward. What is needed to address and remove the banner? Anastacio21 (talk) 19:38, 31 May 2021 (UTC) Added refs per banner. Purpose removal. Anastacio21 (talk) 23:04, 17 June 2021 (UTC) Added more refs per banner. Purpose removal of banner. Anastacio21 (talk) 12:06, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What is the source for the UNCF supporting students at 900 colleges? According to their website, they only have 37 member institutions-- and there are fewer than 50 private, non-profit HBCUs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blmosby (talk • contribs) 15:20, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

public[edit]

yes, it does compliment the uncf, but not all of these schools are public. it would be more accurate to say, non-religious schools. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.162.143.159 (talk) 13:15, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

John W. Marshall[edit]

I have removed the mention of Thurgood Marshall's son, John W. Marshall previously serving as Senior Advisor and Consultant to the Fund, both because another user questioned the relevance of that information to this article, and the Reference link was dead. If any of my fellow Wikipedians still feel that information is still relevant to this article, please feel to re-add it with an updated Reference. TommyBoy (talk) 06:30, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
