Syracuse University: Forskelle mellem versioner

'''Syracuse University''' er et privat forskningsuniversitet i [[Syracuse (New York)|Syracuse]] i [[New York (delstat)|New York]] i [[USA]]. Dets rødder kan spores tilbage til Genesee Wesleyan Seminary, grundlagt af [[Methodist Episcopal Church]] i 1832, som også senere grundlagde [[Genesee College]]. Efter flere års debat om at flytte kollegiet til Syracuse, blev universitetet grundlagt uafhængigt af kollegiet i 1870. Siden 1920 har universitetet identificeret sig selv som [[usekterisk]], selvom det opretholder en tilknytning til The [[United Methodist Church]].<ref name="Bylaws">{{Cite web |url = http://supolicies.syr.edu/ethics/bylaws.htm| title=Syracuse University Bylaws, Scope: Trustees/University Governance |quote=''Three Trustees shall be elected by the Board to represent the North Central New York, Western New York and Wyoming Conferences of the United Methodist Church.
