Carleton people
"Let me close with a final aspect of Carleton that merits our respect and also comes with a warning. While it is good and proper to find great satisfaction in what Carleton people do well, it is necessary to recall that the twin temptations of really good colleges are smugness and self-satisfaction." from https://apps.carleton.edu/voice/?story_id=531256&issue_id=527524
Who are Carleton people? Do they include current students? Do they include the faculty? Do they include those who have graduated? If I put a college/university name before people, for example, Harvard people, what does it really mean?

I take it to mean people whose close affiliation with the school is a sizeable element of their identity, be they students, faculty or administration.
