@Atchom: Being what you call a specific faculty at a university is no cause for capitalization. Lots of universities have a faculty of law, so it is not a proper name, unless it is something like "the McGill University Faculty of Law", of which there is only one in the world. Lots of universities have a parking lot, but we don't talk about "McGill University's Parking Lot". Lower case goes for "the faculty of law at McGill University", "the law faculty at McGill University", "McGill University's faculty of law" and "McGill University's law faculty". Please drop the unneeded caps. Christhe spelleryack02:59, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Washington Post commonly uses lower case: "Alan Stone of Harvard University's faculty of law and medicine." "the faculty of x" is not a proper name. And you might want to adjust your tone. Christhe spelleryack13:44, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's because Harvard University's faculty of law is Harvard Law School, whereas McGill University's faculty of law is the McGill University Faculty of Law. Atchom (talk) 22:30, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Atchom: The Montreal Gazette does not consistently capitalize it: "Richard Janda, an associate professor in McGill's faculty of law, has been"; "the Canadian Constitution Club of McGill University's faculty of law and was "; "more than a year in the works, will allow the faculty of law at McGill University to offer"; "Lametti, a professor on leave from McGill's faculty of law, finds himself". I did not change "McGill University Faculty of Law"; I changed ""McGill University's Faculty of Law". There's a difference, as I explained above, or do you not see the difference?
