I believe that the Hamerschlag Hall is the basis for one of the buildings seen in Monsters University. The name of the building in the movie is the "School of Scaring". I am unable to find a citation from the film staff confirming this homage, but CMU is aware of the resemblance and tweeted about it.

== Criticism of the University ==
I have nothing against Carnegie Mellon! But I did come across two incidents in which the University was criticised, which I would think should be included in the article in terms of NPOV and WP:BAL. One includes one of its professors wishing a painful death upon the Queen of England, which then garnered responses from Britian and the British and International press, and in turn was discsussed on Television, so this in particular is hardly a minor local issue! In any case, if editors want to remove it, I think may be best discuss it here, but in terms of balance, I would think it dubious that criticism of a particular institution is removed from that page's article.

Template:Vital article


College of Engineering/Carnegie Institute of Technology

At this point, Carnegie Mellon has renamed its engineering college from Carnegie Institute of Technology to the College of Engineering. Please take a look at the college's branding on its official web site (engineering.cmu.edu), CMU's official web site (www.cmu.edu), and even the 2015 commencement wherein the banner representing the College of Engineering has been modified to say "Engineering" rather than CIT. CIT is now a legacy name of both the College of Engineering as well as the University as a whole (CIT was what CMU was known as prior to the 1967 merger with the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research). Therefore, please do not reference the engineering school as the Carnegie Institute of Technology or CIT. Nor is it necessary to include that CIT was the former name of the College of Engineering in anything but detailed entries, in a same way that the Heinz College is not referred to as SUPA, the Tepper School is not referenced as GSIA, or the Dietrich College is no longer called H&SS.73.212.42.147 (talk) 13:52, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is still widely referred to on campus as CIT, and that continues to be its name, in addition to College of Engineering. Furthermore many people know it only as CIT and so that information is valuable and important. 98.169.116.161 (talk) 15:48, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It may still be referred as that on campus, but the official name, per CMU's web materials is College of Engineering. The wikipedia article should reflect the official name. I added a line in the history of the college on its particular page that reflects that the name was changed, but otherwise, official terminology should be used. If you would like to provide a source that shows that the official name is still CIT, then please provide it, otherwise my sources stand and you should refrain from continued change in this regard.209.61.193.48 (talk) 16:46, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Verification of firsthand experiences

It seems as if many sections are only able to be informed by current or past students of the university (namely the traditions section). These are traditions that might not be as extensively or accurately documented online anywhere, but rather are passed down through the students. How do we verify this information given that there might not be much material to corroborate it available? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Webdevmajor (talk • contribs) 06:30, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
