Just a disclaimer:
I added the bit about RMIT's financial woes; I am a low-level employee of another university in Melbourne. The information I have added is all on the public record. It should also not be taken as a discouragement to attend RMIT which is, in my opinion, a fine university and one which will continue to operate into the indefinite future. --Robert Merkel 13:17, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
RMIT's financial woes are long gone, with a $50mil surplus in 2007 (See http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=zfq3tjbb7yyu) GSPT1 (talk) 14:08, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RMIT Logo
Real RMIT logo?
I think the current RMIT logo either on wiki or RMIT's offical website is a blurred version of its original logo. I used to remember there was some details in the logo. (Because more than 4 years ago, I used to see its logo). But now, all images I can find has no details in the logo. Therefore, I just re-detailed and refined the logo. Please refer to this image: http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:RMIT_logo20061205.gif
I'm not 100% sure, if it was like this(but 80% sure, it has something in it). If you do know, or if you have the original logo file, please give me some feedbacks.
Thanks.

- First time I've seen the logo that way. Could that be an old photo? I'm currently studying my correspondence letters with RMIT but so far their insignia on the letters do not have the lines on them. I'm fairly sure the lines aren't there either if I were to pop into the CBD and have a walk in the campus and check the signs. -Chan Yin Keen | Talk 06:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

- Is there any officials who really know this, come to confirm? --Netmapper 19:20, 5th Dec 2006 (AUDT)
-
- What's more confusing: on the RMIT qualification, they use a different logo. (refer to http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=prb33lxhgjhu the photo in the "Graduation Ceremony" section)
- Two questions:
- Why use different logos?
- What's the meaning of the current logo? (the one on the offical website with no details in the red icon) --Netmapper 00:36, 5th Dec 2006 (AUDT)
- I've uhm, placed my graduation cert elsewhere (another country elsewhere), so I can't really help see what is on it, but I think theres a difference between a university's logo, and a unversity's crest. If we were to take for example, MIT, they have a seal and a logo. -Chan Yin Keen | Talk 06:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Can someone upload the RMIT logo. The current one is the university crest which is not suitable to be added in the infobox section. Thanks. --60.51.124.214 07:40, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- Done. --Canley 04:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Student Life
I don't think Wikipedia is the correct forum for Student Unionists to complain about VSU.
[edit] RMIT Building Photos
Can someone upload or show me how to upload pictures of RMIT buildings?
Storey Hall & Buildings 1 along with other buildings should be placed on the site.
- I'm at Building 108 so I'll probably get some pics up within the next couple of days. Rogerthat Talk 07:55, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
The picture of Building 108 is too dark. Pictures of storey hall or building 1 are needed.
Why the need to underline the links?
[edit] Controversies
On April 4, 2005 RMIT University appointed a new Vice-Chancellor, Professor Margaret Gardner. Having gained a first-class honours degree in Economics and a PhD from the University of Sydney, Professor Gardner has had a prominent career as an academic, working in a number of successful Australian educational institutions.
I've removed the above paragraph from the Controversies section to History because from the text there, there doesn't seem to be anything controversial about the appointment. invincible 06:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:RMIT.JPG
Image:RMIT.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 insure 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] History section
A lot of it is a direct copy and paste from http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=q0dhwbxncmdc which is clearly a copyrighted website. The offending text will need to be removed. It will have to be rewritten in a form as not to infringe copyright. Secondly, it should be backed by secondary reliable sources. For example, I've found no evidence to back the claim of the world's first online PhD [1] Michellecrisp (talk) 03:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] External Links
Hi I'd like to know why the link to the RMIT Gallery Artabase page has been removed? I think it is useful to have both the link to the RMIT Gallery Artabase page http://artabase.net/gallery/20-rmit-gallery and the link to the RMIT First Site Union Gallery Artabase page http://artabase.net/gallery/157-first-site-rmit-union-gallery replaced.

- Quite clearly it's a violation of WP:EL#AVOID Sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject: the link should be directly related to the subject of the article. A general site that has information about a variety of subjects should usually not be linked to from an article on a more specific subject. and with a username like yours I hope you don't have a conflict of interest.
