Please Do Not Speedy Delete

[[Please note that California Postsecodary Education Commission's website had erroneously missed FTU's listing as a BBPVE approved school. After recent communication with the CPEC, the Commission has added FTU to their listing. Thank you, the CPEC, and Bill Huffman for updating the records.]] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.137.159.85 (talk) 03:34, August 20, 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please add new text to the bottom. Also please sign all your entries to talk pages by adding four tildes (~~~~). Please point to the CPEC website with the listing for FTU so that I can add that reference to the article. I suggest that you get a Wikipedia account and I hope that you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. Thanks, Bill Huffman 15:50, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Someone that I guess may have had a conflict of interest originally put this page up. When I first saw the page my first reaction was that perhaps a Speedy Delete was the best course. Instead I found the Michigan government reference and Orlady has since found some other reliable sources to make the beginnings of a good article. Please do not delete this article because potential students investigating this school for potential enrollment would probably find the article very interesting even in it's current state. Thank you, Bill Huffman 16:58, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Dear Bill, You are indeed right that prospective students investigating the school needs to have the proper information regarding it before making their decision.. However, i have noticed in the article that some of the info listed is not correct. if you go to the ca dept of education website, the school is listed as active and also on the california public school directory, it is also listed.. so i believe whoever wrote this article is also misleading consumers and making this school look really bad.. The school does not state anywhere on its website that its accredited but it does say it is a state approved school which appears to be correct.. So why is this article giving misleadin info.. It probably was not an approved institution prior to 1998 because it shows that it was only approved by the state of Ca in 2004. dont you think this information should be provided in this article but all that is there is negative and prior information. I have personally researched the school myself and have not found any complaints or issues with it except for the fact that Frederick Taylor International University incorporated in Hawaii was closed by court order. 09:32, 18 August 2007 User:Sincere123 (sig added by Bill Huffman)

Hi Sincere123, thank you for you interest in Wikipedia. I notice that you're new to Wikipedia so I'd also like to welcome you to Wikipedia. I've come to know and fully trust Orlady's edits. Unless I remember incorrectly, she made the edit that you're referring to. Unfortunately the BPPVE website is down so I'm not able double check her reference. I'll add a {{Fact}} template tag to the item that you mention. after a week or two if someone can't come up with reliable source then I'll make the required edit.

Revert Tozis123 edits

Tozis123, Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I thought that I should explain that I reverted your edits because there were unsupported assertions as well as the apparent attempt to minimize some of the mildly negative things mentioned in the current article. Please review the WP:NPOV policy as well as the WP:V polices that must apply for all Wikipedia edits. Regards, Bill Huffman 20:21, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Edit

Hi Bill, please see the link to the approval listing of California Postsecondary Education Commission for Frederick Taylor University http://www.cpec.ca.gov/collegeguide/Institution.asp?id=E0732A&bhcp=1Mentor9 02:29, 21 August 2007 (UTC) I am sorry if I post this erroneously. I am very new to your site. Thank you

I've added your reference to the article. Thank you for your contribution. BTW, Wikipedia is not MY site. For general information on Wikipedia, you may wish to visit WP:Welcome. Regards, Bill Huffman 05:23, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Edit

Bill, the "unaccredited" word had been repeated several times in a one page document. I deleted one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.137.179.131 (talk) 23:02, 16 April 2008 (UTC) +++ The word "unaccredited" had been repeated several times in a one page document. I deleted one.

restoration of relevant information

Over the past week some what I thought was relevant and properly sourced information has been removed from the article. The comments associated with the two edits were "Misleading" and "There is already links on this page to what an unaccredited degree is". These edit comments are not very enlightening to me. So, I was hoping that we could discuss it further here on the discussion page. Thank you, TallMagic (talk) 18:15, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Accreditation discussion

The discussion being added to the article on accreditation is over done. This should be an article about Frederick Taylor University not accreditation. Plus the huge amount of text being added is not being properly sourced. TallMagic (talk) 21:42, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Plus there are false statements in there that I'm quite certain are untrue like, "The State of California requires approval of each new degree or certificate BEFORE the program may be offered for credit." TallMagic (talk) 22:02, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Isn't this misleading?

"The University offers undergraduate and graduate distance education programs in business, leading to either a bachelors or master's degree"

You get a fake degree thats not worth the paper its printed on, how exactly is this allowed to stay in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.211.178.49 (talk) 01:33, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

The statement is a simple statement of fact. It does not address the utility or meaning of FTU degrees only the FTU degrees that are available. TallMagic (talk) 15:28, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

08/17/2010 Removed off topic discussions on unaccredited schools. This material has been removed a few times because is has nothing to do with this school. The school is clearly labeled as an unaccredited school, which is how all schools start. This school seems to remain unaccredited but state approved, which is the choice of its governing board.~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mightymilo (talk • contribs) 06:43, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
