Question...from all I have read, UNF was founded in 1969...so why does it say "1965" in roman numerals on its seal? Mike H. That's hot 03:51, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

According to the catalog, 1965 is the year UNF was "chartered." joeOnSunset 19:06, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Parking

I removed the following addition for various reasons: "An ongoing issue with the campus is a lack of parking locations for both housing students and those coming on and off campus for classes and work are unable to find parking spaces and often discover themselves late to class or work, or they get to class on time by parking illegally on grass or handicap spaces. This issue will not be resolved for years and due to the hiring of new professors and the construction of new buildings and the scheduling of daily classes, more people are traversing on-campus at the same hours than during previous years and fights for parking spaces are common throughout the semester." Of course it's an ongoing problem, as it is on most campuses, but this is hardly up to encyclopedia standards and therefore does not belong on the article. Perhaps if someone had a legitimate source and/or article about the issue? Maria 13:34, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Good call. Wikipedia isn't a sounding board for campus issues, afterall, and what university doesn't suffer from nightmare parking? In good faith I searched The Spinnaker (campus newspaper) for parking artciles and found nothing since around 2004. --joeOnSunset 23:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
