Need reference for education and employment

[edit]

I can find no current reference that confirms either her education or her employment at Columbia, other than sites that are copying from Wikipedia. --Crunch (talk) 18:53, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removed speculation

[edit]

I removed this sentence because the original source says this is speculation, and with the biography being so short right now, it gives undue weight to this topic: "There was some speculation among the faculty of Brigham Young University that this led to an attempt by university officials to rescind an invitation for her to speak there in 1993.[1]"

I believe this could have happened, but the source is extremely tentative. Here's a quote from the original: "Though no explanations were given, some faculty members assumed that Exponent II was the reason that Brigham Young University authorities in 1993 tried to disinvite Bushman as a campus speaker and vetoed an appearance by another Exponent II founder, the historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich." (pg. 367)

I feel conflicted. Certainly if a BYU faculty member talked about this assumption, they might not want to have been named. On the other hand, the book gives no concrete source for the information. Please talk below if you believe the information should be added back in; as the article stands now (being a stub), I don't believe it belongs. Certainly when the Bushman papers are opened in 2052 there may be more information on this topic.Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 19:27, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Home in Provo

[edit]

I took this information off the main page, because I believe the Bushmans still use this home and it seems a little too personal for that to be on their Wikipedia page. Maybe later it would be appropriate to add this information on them.

"The Bushmans own a historic home in Provo.[2][3]"
