[edit] Update Endowment

Given the multi-million dollar investments by Paul Hill and Kenneth Levene, in the Faculty of Business alone, and the multi-million dollar investments of the new laboratory building and the other construction projects on campus, I contend that the currently listed endowment of $25.9 million is considerably out of date.

It's certainly worth checking out but the fact that there have been recent ambitious construction projects on the new campus doesn't necessarily indicate that the university's endowment is larger than as stated; such projects are not generally funded out of a public university's endowment. Investments by the trustees of the endowment fund, on the other hand, would indeed suggest the endowment fund is now larger than as stated. Why don't you look into it.

[edit] Engineering Section

Is there any reason why the Faculty of Engineering has a section while no other faculties have sections? There is no referenced information in that section and I would like to suggest it be removed unless there is a similar section added for all other faculties or the section contains some references to the material it presents.farqfarq 20:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Good heavens — are there no other faculty and alumnae of the University of Regina who have distinguised themselves? Masalai 07:14, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Accredited Campion & Luther college courses?

The following text:

Campion and Luther colleges had been high schools offering junior college courses in affiliation with the University of Saskatchewan on the same basis as the old Regina College.

was changed by User:Masalai to:

Campion and Luther colleges had been high schools offering junior college courses in accredited by the University of Saskatchewan on the same basis as the old Regina College.

Now, as far as I know the term accreditation is reserved for a specific type of "authorisation" if you will, so it isn't just an adjective in the academic community but also a technical term. For example, the Faculty of Engineering offers accredited engineering degrees. This has special and specific meaning.

The reason I reverted the edit by Masalai is that not only was I unsure whether the change in meaning for this sentence was intended, but also because the grammar became incorrect with this change. Masalai, feel free to change the wording again but please provide a source showing that Campion and Luther college courses are accredited. Alternatively, an arguement why the term accreditation has a different meaning in this context might suffice. BigNate37 16:00, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable faculty and alumni?

I contend that anyone in this list who does not have an article is probably not notable enough to be listed. Comments? BigNate37_(T) 02:07, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Which contemplates that the somewhat hit-and-miss operation of some Wikipedia devotee having written an article on such a person is a dispositive test of notability. This seems seems unlikely. On the other hand, the red links do suggest possible future articles. Masalai 09:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

True. In a perfect world those articles would not stick around were the subjects not notable, and then we'd remove the redlinks. In practice, that may take months or years to come about. I do wonder about the threshold of notability being used for these people I've never heard of before, though. BigNate37_(T) 14:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Uregina.jpg

Image:Uregina.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.
