The first line of the article has a different year than the diagram on the right for when the college was founded....when is the real one? NPPyzixBlan 17:58, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

most likely 1899 was supposed to be 1989, meaning classes opened 1990, but the right bar says it was founded in 1964, so that is totally incongrutious. AdamJacobMuller 12:20, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I actually go to APU and it was founded in 1899. It seems like the problem has been fixed on the page.

[edit] Article tone

The article, as of July 3, 2007, reads like it has been cut & pasted from the school's website. It needs a more NPOV and some sections rewritten

What about the article in particular would you like to see changed? I have read several other university wikipedia articles, (Harvard, Oxford, Berkeley, Biola [APU's rival], etc.) and it seems to be similar in content. if you have any evidence that the article was plagiarized please provide it, but do not use the weaselly-worded "reads like it has" been plagiarized accusation. If there is no evidence provided to keep it listed as "like an advertisement" and if there is no specific cause raised for the claim of lack of neutrality, I will remove those tags. 71.202.41.168 03:57, 4 August 2007 (UTC) →Since no specific claims were made, i am removing the tags mentioned above 71.202.41.168 21:57, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
