[edit] Islamic Extremism?

I mean, it is pretty interesting/shocking/funny isn't it?

Also, can someone can clear this up for me - was Jarad Akbar doing 'Multimedia Technology + Design' or 'Mathematics, Technology + Design'? There's conflicting reports in the media saying both, and I don't see how your average journalist could mistake Mathematics for Multimedia but can do vise-versa... This is interesting because, if true, it would lead me to believe that either; a) Spin doctors/the press felt Mathematics adequately trumped up his dangerous terrorist profile (no matter how horrible his Flash presentations were). b) MMTD, being relatively new and dynamic course that is gaining momentum would be better off without this association - ie. Akbar was a maniacal mathematics nut.

[edit] New Course Offerings

Should it be included that the university is going to offer a masters degree in Cult TV and films? http://www.brunel.ac.uk/785/courses%20leaflets/100466CultfilmmediaFINALA4PROOF2.pdf

No it shouldnt.

[edit] University ratings

(I'm posting this to all articles on UK universities as so far discussion hasn't really taken off on Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities.)

There needs to be a broader convention about which university rankings to include in articles. Currently it seems most pages are listing primarily those that show the institution at its best (or worst in a few cases). See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities#University ratings.

[edit] Section on Runnymede campus

Given that this campus has now been sold off, I believe it makes the majority of the section on the Runnymede campus no longer relevant. I suggest we keep the section but just leave the text: "On 18 May 2007 it was announced that the University has agreed to sell its campus at Runnymede to Oracle Homes Runnymede Limited for £46.5 million, and that from October 2007 all activities will be consolidated on the Uxbridge campus.[9]". Any objections?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Brunel logo.jpg

Image:Brunel logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
