Duquesne University
Duquesne University is the public-facing name used by Duquesne University of the Holy Spirit, a Pennsylvania nonprofit corporation under its bylaws. The university identifies itself as a Catholic institution founded by the Congregation of the Holy Spirit (the Spiritans), rather than as a commercial operating entity or a subsidiary of the private companies discussed elsewhere in this knowledge graph.
Institution and governance boundary
The bylaws define the “Corporation” as Duquesne University of the Holy Spirit, a Pennsylvania nonprofit corporation, and distinguish its Board of Directors from the Corporation’s Members. The institution’s public-facing name, canonical/Spiritan relationship, board governance and nonprofit legal status should not be collapsed into a commercial ownership chain or treated as proof of a particular donor, alumni, employee or corporate affiliation.
The university’s history page says it was founded on 1878-10-01 as Pittsburgh Catholic College by Rev. Joseph Strub and the Congregation of the Holy Ghost. It also records a 1911 name change to Duquesne University of the Holy Ghost. These are institutional-history statements; they do not provide an uninterrupted current corporate-registration record or a substitute for the bylaws’ current legal-name wording.
Directly supported education relationship
Nikki Palmaccio’s employer biography says she earned a B.S. in Business Administration from Duquesne University. This is an employer-reported education relationship. It does not establish degree year, field concentration, alumni employment, institutional governance, shared attendance with another person or any private relationship among alumni.
Evidence boundary
This page does not infer that the university employs Palmaccio, verified her credential directly, holds a corporate relationship with Bierbrier Development, or participates in its transactions. The relationship is limited to an employer biography’s education claim unless an institutional record or other primary evidence confirms more.
