Talk:Rhode Island College/Archive 1

Comment
I'm new to wikipedia but I am using some of the information from the Rhode Island College website to help reorganize and update this wiki and hopefully when I'm done it can be re-reviewed and be moved up a class. -- Cjcsoon2brn (talk) 07:53, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * There seems to have been a lot of vandalism to this article recently (several times in recent days). Anyone have any idea what has brought this on, or any opinion as to what course of action should be taken?  I'd say that if this continues at the present rate, this page should be considered for at least temporay protection. Nick Lima 00:22, 18 January 2007 (UTC)


 * All official sources note that John Nazarian is the 8th, not 9th President of Rhode Island College. There is a reason for this number being different than the number of past presidents listed in the article; please do not change such facts without providing documentation to prove otherwise.

William Felkner Controversy
Should there be at least a mention of the suit brought by William Felkner against the school? It is covered from multiple reliably sourced third party sources, thus meets general notability requirements: --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 07:39, 11 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Not all of these are as reliable -- or as neutral -- as others; one, the "National Association of Scholars" is a political advocacy group with a conservative agenda. The dates of two of these sources are also mis-stated; there has been no further news about this complaint since 2008, and so I'm not sure it is still currently notable.

 * Sorry about mistating some of the dates, it was unintentioned. Furthermore I was unaware that the NAS was a political advocacy group, however, it is still well referenced from multiple third party sources, and it is interesting that there is no other news about this subject, as I have attempted to find them.  That is why I posted it as a suggestion here first, before adding a section. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 12:05, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply. Well, the name of the National Association of Scholars sounds very neutral, but as WP itself notes, it "seeks to counter what it considers a "liberal bias" in academia."  No position on whether such a bias exists, but that it seeks to counter it gives it an agenda other than, say, just furthering scholars.  The news item was indeed widely reported late in 2008, but I have not heard anything of it since.  A brief mention in the entry would not, I think, be amiss, but I wonder whether it continues to meet notability criteria. Clevelander96 (talk) 00:50, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * From other discussions I have had one wikipedia, I remember someone saying that notariety doesn't go away, either the subject of an article, is or is not. The event on its face does appear to meet minimum general notability requirements, but I wouldn't go about writing an article about it (not saying that it cannot be done, just saying I wouldn't.  Maybe this might be better under a Social Work article, with mention that the suit was brought against the subject of this article? --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 08:33, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

College of opportunity
This entry has had several back-and-forth additions and deletions (fron anonymous IP's) of this sentence: "With an enrollment predominantly from Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts and Connecticut, the institution historically has served as a "College of Opportunity" for first-generation college students." If anyone has any issues with this statement -- NPOV, encyclopedic tone, accuracy, verifiability, they should be addressed here.
