Changes requested in order to improve accuracy and reflect current data.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Specific text to be added or removed: Remove logo from the box on the right. I would have requested to update to the new logo, but that doesn't seem to be allowed by Wiki's terms of use.
Reason for the change: The University no longer uses the logo with the merger equation.
References supporting change: You can see from events that Jefferson sponsors, such as Dad Vail Regatta (https://www.dadvail.org/) and DesignPhiladelphia (https://designphiladelphia.org/2020-sponsors), as well as on Jefferson's website (https://www.jefferson.edu/), that the equation logo is no longer in use.
