I think this is the correct listing of church affiliation for the school but am not sure so I have not added to the page
1988-now ELCA
1963-1987 ALC
1897-1963 LFC
1890-1897 United Norweign Lutheran Church

List of university presidents
What do readers gain from reading a list of university presidents with no context or explanation? "University has had presidents" is not helpful or interesting information.

I agree with your point that, what do we intend? To remove all such lists from all the bloated University pages? However, I'd suggest that this section be demoted toward the bottom of the article. Like others place it.

I think It would also help to convert the table to a bullet list. Tables are more intrusive and draw more attention to themselves.

Yes, it would be good to remove similar lists of names that have no context or explanatory power from other articles. No, if there is a consensus to keep this information in the article then it should not be relegated to a disparate section at the end of the article; this (disconnected and unexplained) is clearly part of the institution of the history so it belongs in that section.
