Education Institution – Support Center | Menai Insight

This sub-textual structure captures educational institutions, commonly included in managerial backgrounds when describing the qualifications that a manager has gained. To facilitate subsequent analysis:

University names are standardized: University names, including acronyms, are standardized to facilitate comparisons and connections to external datasets. For example, 'UCLA', 'University of California Los Angeles' and 'University of California at Los Angeles' are all represented the same.
Departments are represented separately from university names: In cases where a department is listed in addition to the university, the department is represented as separate properties. For example, in the case of 'Ross School of Business, University of Michigan', the department 'Ross School of Business' and 'University of Michigan' are represented separately; if your research question concerns only the university, the department property can simply be ignored.
