Is this property used as intended?

When I do a SPARQL query https://w.wiki/DiRn I see a lot of values (the majority) that I do not think correspond to how it was indended: Universities, visiting research, professor, mechanical engineering. As I understand the intended usage should have values that are subentities (e.g., university department) of an legal person (organization). — Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 12:11, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Reading a bit more to understand the property, I see that universities could be values. The two examples given for the property are for departments/faculties — Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 12:22, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
