| Submission declined on 29 June 2024 by Pbritti (talk). I'm not seeing sufficient precedence for this sort of article. I think you should consider slightly altering the scope of this list to align with similar lists. For a good example of what this scope should look like, see List of colleges and universities in Colorado. Declined by Pbritti 2 hours ago. |  |
Comment: Scope is overly broad and must be reduced to either educational facilities or research institutes. Pbritti (talk) 20:45, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
