University of Management and Technology

The University is at the foot of Key Bridge in Arlington, VA. Would it be appropriate to list UMT as a "Washington, DC" institution? It's self-image is that it is. Eric (talk) 14:26, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would not be in favor of including it unless (a) it has programs or facilities in DC or (b) a compelling number of reliable sources consider the institution to be in or a part of DC. ElKevbo (talk) 21:56, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
