The template is incrediblely miss-organized and I am proposing we work toward fixing it. Just for reference I took a straw poll of all the University templates in the Big Ten. Here are the results:
Academics(10)
Athletics(11)
Broadcasting(1)
Campus(10)
Colleges & Schools(2)
History(2)
Media & Publications(4)
People(6)
Points of Interest(1)
Presidents(1)
Research(4)
Students(1)
Student Life(9)
Traditions(1)
Now clearly the UW template should be based on its article base, but it may be helpful to see what other University articles have considered relevant. Now taking all of that under consideration here how I think we should re-organize:
Is the layout I presented 'right'? If not, what do you think it should be?
Are there any additional articles that have yet to be written besides the ones red linked here?
Are there any articles (red linked or otherwise) that should not be included?
Would breaking out sub-sections be appropriate. If so, where and what sections?
This template should be used a guide for writing future articles in the sense that we should look for holes in the template sections and fill them in.
Let me know what you all think.

It might just be me but I find the background color on this template VERY obnoxious and distracting from the rest of a Wikipedia article. I'll let you decide. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.232.185.77 (talk) 10:44, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-04-13T10:44:00.000Z","author":"98.232.185.77","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-98.232.185.77-2009-04-13T10:44:00.000Z-Background_color","replies":[]}}-->
The default setting for this template should be autocollapse.

OK, I undid your edit because it removed the entire parameter instead of just changing the default. I know that parameter is used on a few pages, so it should be there. I did change the default to auto on a subsequent edit, however, and updated the documentation as well.
