Whole article seems to be written in a neutral standpoint and no parts stand out as being biased towards or against Rutgers. Does not use casual language and is concise and informative. After reading some of the Scarlet and Black book, some of the views and the history attached to the college does seem missing and the page seem very underdeveloped. Lot of links lead to Rutgers' own pages about its history. Has some external sources as well, but could probably be expanded upon. Theological Seminary page does not work. Talk page has a TO DO list along with Athletics, Venues, Rutgers today, etc. The comments seem a little different from our class discussions and could be done by someone outside of Rutgers.
