[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] Alumni

It is generally understood that Alumni should have studied at a place of education, they do not have to have finished or graduated from that place indeed that is close to the literal meaning of the latin and the modern understanding of the word. That being the case those who have honorary degrees from a university do not suddenly become the alumni of that institution. Therefore I going to move those with honorary degrees from alumni to holders of honorary degrees.

[edit] Degrees

Perhaps the statement that the degree in Complementary Therapies is 'unique' should be adjusted to include the fact that none of the compolementary therapies taught have any basis in evidence-based medicine using the gold standard of a double-blind randomised control trial. Suggest that there should be some discussion over the fact that Wolverhampton decided to make this degree a BSc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.243.253.217 (talk) 21:53, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure why calling the degree a BSc is so important. At Oxford one can get a BA in Chemistry or Physics while at Edinburgh one can get an MSc in Theology or Modern Art.--Oxonian2006 (talk) 09:56, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
