But meningiomas are not astrocytes and oligodendrocytes are--shouldnt meningiomas be the ones to not express gfap

Oligodendrocytes are glial cells, but they are not astrocytes. As far as I know, GFAP is only in astrocytes, schwann cells, and ependymal cells. I don't know why GFAP is seen in meningiomas, but I remember reading it somewhere.
