Claim
M. Night Shyamalan (B.A. 1982)
Correction

NYU’s own materials identify M. Night Shyamalan as Tisch School of the Arts class of 1992, not “B.A. 1982.”

Full reasoning

This entry gives the wrong graduation year. An official NYU Stern event page describes filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan as "M. Night Shyamalan (TSOA '92)", meaning Tisch School of the Arts class of 1992. That directly conflicts with the article’s listing of 1982, which is ten years earlier.

Because the NYU source identifies him as a 1992 Tisch alumnus, the article’s "(B.A. 1982)" entry is inaccurate at least on the year, and it also does not match the school designation used by NYU.

Claim
two "portal" campuses, and 12 academic sites
Correction

NYU’s official sites list 13 global academic centers/sites, not 12.

Full reasoning

This count is outdated/incorrect. NYU’s official locations pages currently describe the university as having 13 global academic centers (also called global academic sites), not 12.

NYU’s central locations page says the Office of Global Programs manages "a network of 13 global academic centers" and lists them as Accra, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Florence, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Paris, Prague, Sydney, Tel Aviv, Tulsa, and Washington, DC. NYU’s "All NYU Schools and Locations" page likewise lists those same 13 global academic sites.

So the article’s statement that NYU has 12 academic sites is contradicted by NYU’s own current site count.

Claim
College of Global Public Health
Correction

NYU’s official name for this unit is the School of Global Public Health, not the College of Global Public Health.

Full reasoning

This school is misnamed. NYU’s official public health site is titled "NYU School of Global Public Health", and NYU’s university-wide schools-and-locations page also lists "School of Global Public Health" among the university’s schools.

Because NYU itself uses School of Global Public Health as the formal name, the article’s "College of Global Public Health" entry is incorrect.

Claim
all subsequent ones to the current Yankee Stadium
Correction

That overstates it: NYU’s 2020 all-university commencement was virtual/postponed, so not every later commencement was held at the current Yankee Stadium.

Full reasoning

The phrase "all subsequent ones" is too absolute. NYU’s own 2020 commencement pages show that the all-university commencement planned for Yankee Stadium did not take place there.

An official NYU Tandon commencement event page states that the "2020 All-University Commencement Exercises, originally scheduled for May 20 at Yankee Stadium, have been postponed" and describes them instead as "All-University Virtual Commencement Exercises." A separate NYU Tandon page for the Class of 2020 is titled "Class of 2020 Virtual Celebration" and says the 165th commencement ceremonies took place on May 20, 2020.

So the article’s claim that every commencement after the 2008 move went to the current Yankee Stadium is incorrect.

Claim
the flagship of an eight-library, 4.5 million-volume system
Correction

NYU Libraries’ official page now describes Bobst as the flagship of a 7-library system holding 8.6 million volumes, not an 8-library, 4.5 million-volume system.

Full reasoning

This library-system description is outdated. NYU Libraries’ official "About" page says Bobst is "the flagship of a 7-library system" and that "The system holds 8.6 million volumes". That directly conflicts with the article’s statement that it is part of "an eight-library, 4.5 million-volume system."

Because NYU’s own current library page gives different system and holdings figures, the article’s numbers are no longer accurate.
