If this 'Taken from AUB official site http://www.aub.edu.lb ( Copyrights reserved )' is true, then this page is a copyright violation. Can the person who copied this page from there confirm whether or not they have permission to use it? Morwen 20:57, Feb 15, 2004 (UTC)
- AUB official site states clearly in its copyrights page the following:
"Permission to copy or disseminate all or part of the materials on the AUB Web is granted if the following conditions are met:
-
- copies are not made or distributed for commercial advantage
- the AUB copyright and its date appear on the reproduced materials notice is given that copying is by permission of AUB
- For some materials, it may be necessary to obtain additional copyright permission from the author(s).
- To disseminate otherwise, or to republish, requires written permission."
I think that the conditions are met here so we can post the informaiton on the AUB site. read more on http://www.aub.edu.lb/aub_files/copyright.html and http://www.aub.edu.lb/aub-online/history/index.html

- I'm afraid that's incompatible with the Wikipedia licence, which allows commercial use. Morwen 14:18, Feb 17, 2004 (UTC)
- (comment repeated from my talk page) It looks like the copyright on the earlier text is not compatable with GFDL as is; see: Wikipedia:Copyrights. We already have an external link to there anyway. You might wish to summerize some of the key points in your own words for the article. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 18:07, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)
How did the U. fair during the civil war? Wasn't it a haven at times for ex-pats? Can anyone comment on the campus activities during the civil war?--70.181.216.10 13:36, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Robert Najemy assassination
It would be helpful if someone could find the source for the statement that Robert Najemy was killed by "Gavin Harris", and that Robert Najemy's killer was an American. Robert Najemy's children have told me that this is wrong that the killer was identified as someone named Najim Najim (this is probably a bad transliteration), who was not an American. I'm unable to immediately find any information outside of wikipedia on Robert Najemy's killer.

[edit] Update
Because there is no citation and I know several people who say that "Gavin Harris" is incorrect, I'm changing the name despite have no source to cite myself. Since the other details about the killer were written by the same author that called him Gavin Harris, it is all suspect, and I removed everything except that he was "irate" and that his name was in fact Najim Najim.
