Talk:Satellite campus

Transwiki

I saw this was moved to Wiktionary. I think the page can be used as a list of satellite campuses, from which generalization about them and life on them compared to life on a central campus can be made. Thoughts?--Patrick 17:10, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

UK universities before 1960

Universities in the UK went through a large period of expansion in the 1960s, from the redbrick to the "plate-glass" universities. Many of these sites (e.g. Hull) had already existed for some years as external colleges of the redbricks: effectively separate, but reliant on their chartered parent for their authorisation to award degrees. Would these be a worthwhile addition to this article? Andy Dingley (talk) 13:41, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Interesting history -- but not at all surprising. The "plate-glass" universities are now "real" independent universities, but it does sound like they (or at least some of them) existed historically as branch campuses. This would be a good topic to add here.

Related to this, you've probably noticed that the "Examples" section of this article is still a hodgepodge and is formatted as a list. However, I think it is at a point where it ought to be reorganized by topic, reformatted as prose, and given a new title. --Orlady (talk) 14:08, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Not only education and religious institutions

The article mentions satellite campuses of churches, but it does not mention satellite camp(us) of prison camps. (I.e. the one were the Beisfjord massacre of several hundred Yugoslavian prisoners in Norway, occured.)Orncider (talk) 12:20, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

That's a good thing, because it would be a gross misunderstanding of "campus" to include them here. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:27, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

And "Churches attempting to expand their reach by offering worship and other programs in new locations may refer to these added locations as "satellite campuses" — are they satelitte campuses, in your opinion?

(Wikipedia claims that "A school might have one space called a campus, one called a field, and another called a yard.") Orncider (talk) 13:08, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Don't believe everything you read in Wikipedia, particularly in an article that is unsourced. Anyway, the sentence you quote purports to describe obsolete usage. Notwithstanding the validity of that other article, if schools referred to some of their spaces as "fields" in the 19th century, that does not make a field where a massacre occurred during World War II into a "satellite campus" of a prison camp. --Orlady (talk) 13:40, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
