No mention of Arlington?
Just curious as to why not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.141.27.75 (talk) 05:32, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Capitalization of common nouns
There is no need to capitalize "association", "registered student organization" or "president". Per MOS:CAPS, "Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization. In English, capitalization is primarily needed for proper names, acronyms, or for the first word of a sentence". None of the words or phrases above is a proper name. Note that the Wikipedia article Proper noun says "In English, proper names in their primary application cannot normally be modified by an article or other determiner (such as any or another)", so the indefinite article in "a registered student organization" is a clear giveaway that it is not a proper name. A web search of "registered student organization" shows that it is used by many colleges and universities, and they do not consistently capitalize it. MOS:JOBTITLES specifically states that "president" is not capitalized except "When followed by a person's name to form a title, i.e., when they can be considered to have become part of the name: President Nixon ...". MOS:INSTITUTIONS says "Generic words for institutions, organizations, companies, etc., and rough descriptions of them (university, college, hospital, high school) do not take capitals: ... The university offers programs in arts and sciences." Same goes for "the association". A phrase such as "registered student organization" does not get capitalized just because it its an official designation; "sex offender" is often an official designation, but that does not mean it has to be capitalized in Wikipedia. After I fixed these, they were undone. I plan to change them back. Chris the speller yack 15:42, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
