Can we use a more modern picture for the logo?

I looked this up and genuinely thought it was the wrong university. Literally no one ever in history has ever needed the non-modern logo of something, and if they did, that could be listed in the “History” section. I understand copyright issues, but could we just email them or something? Janlopi (talk) 19:05, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Commencement

I'm on mobile currently and won't be able to add this with proper references for a few days, but I think there is a solid argument for including the scandal surrounding the 2024 Commencement Speakers backed up by extensive coverage from multiple outlets, most notably the Los Angeles Times Equirax (talk) 00:04, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure it belongs here just yet. It's not clear if there will be anything that results from this incident except for a bunch of op eds and tweets. If there is something substantive - successful lawsuit, large-scale protests, etc. - then it would almost certainly be something we should mention. But until then there's just not much we can say and it's awfully close to WP:NOTNEWS. ElKevbo (talk) 01:38, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

alright, looks like the protests have begun. KTLA posting live coverage right now. I'm +1 for information being added to this article but given how the situation is ongoing it might be worth seeing how it plays out. Need to check editing guidelines before I change anything, thanks for the link Equirax (talk) 01:16, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

KXSC-AM deserves its own WP page

KXSC-AM is notable enough - meaning it has a sufficient number of sources - to warrant its own page. I just made some minor, mostly stylistic edits to this section of the USC page (under Student Media) but gave up after not quite understanding exactly what led to the student-run station after the university changed the original format to classical music. It doesn't help that KXSC-FM's page has zero citations. IMO, these histories need to be sourced and sorted out, KXSC-FM on its page and on a new page devoted to KXSC-AM. I'd appreciate hearing what others think. Allreet (talk) 04:06, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
