It seems unnecessary to have links to Binghamton University and UC Berkley when Meri received a terminal degree from Oxford and that is where his referenced works were published.--_{Wiki11790 talk} 18:19, 27 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

It is general practice on wikipedia to use links for things like educational institutions, and not just for the terminal degree. Especially for an academic, this is relevant information that readers may wish to follow up on, and we provide links to make that easier. The kinds of things that should not be linked, per WP:MOSLINK, are things like (in the current article) specialist and published, since those add nothing useful to either the information in the article or the verifiability of that information.
