Greek life sections

I fail to see any relevancy for this section and for keeping indiscriminate lists of frats and sororities that have no established notability indicated (secondary sourcing etc). A home page isnt an adequate citation. I support removal. Ottawa4ever (talk) 11:20, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If we list them we should list every other student club. I find it silly to list them. The recent mega addition is even worse (which I, and others, have reverted). Dbrodbeck (talk) 12:25, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. I already removed the section twice. Dger (talk) 22:53, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

copyedit

Upon request, hit this. Comments:

  • Describe faculty. Tenure, lecturers, faculty student ratio, faculty/administrator ratio
  • Describe diversity. E.g., First Nations.

Established as Collège Saint-Joseph?

The Dictionary of Canadian Biography article on Joseph-Thomas Duhamel says the College of Ottawa was originally established in 1848 as Collège Saint-Joseph, and only incorporated as College of Bytown in 1849. Library Guy (talk) 17:15, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Content I added:

Since 2008 instructor Jennifer Scharf had offered free weekly Yoga sessions at the Center for Students with Disabilities until a controversial decision was made in September 2015 to not renew the program for the Fall Semester. According to the classes instructor, Jennifer, the administration suspended the program due to growing concerns of cultural issues and the potential to offend other students. "There were some cultural sensitivity issues and people were offended,' says instructor."


I dispute this being a "new article" style update. Historical and current events have a place on the wiki for organizations such as this. I had attempted to relay it without bias. The only thing I see that could lead it being more news-related is "controversial" which it is, as it's being disputed and accepted. Banning Yoga due to current world events, while news, is also a documentable decision made by the current administration. Stating it is controversial isn't taking a side. As it develops I had intended on updating the section with current events.

So I suppose the discussions are: 1.) is the 04:48, 24 November 2015 update acceptable as-is, 2.) is the edit acceptable pending certain changes, or 3.) the entire event should be left off of the wiki page.

It's unlikely that this event will be more than a very minor flash-in-the-pan event with no broad or lasting impact. In fact, it's much too soon to know if this is anything more than a minor local news story that is getting overhyped media attention because of the current cultural climate on U.S. (and Canadian, I guess) colleges and universities. It doesn't really tell readers anything important. So until we know that this has lasting importance or impact - which will take months or years - it's just trivia that should be omitted.

Minor tempests in minor teapots do not belong in this article. Dbrodbeck (talk) 21:34, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Latin name

I think the Latin name in the infobox, "Universitas Ottaviensis" was borrowed from the Latin Vicipaedia: no source was cited. In this case Vicipaedia also cited no source, and I think the Latin name over there was a guess, based on one of the three Latin forms of the adjective. I have now found some sources for the Latin name of the university online, moved the article at Vicipaedia, and changed the Latin name here too, citing a source, to "Universitas Ottawensis".
