Non-encyclopedic: needs sourcesBobFromBrockley (talk) 10:05, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[edit]

This article is not very encyclopedic. Almost all of its information is cut and paste from the college's website, and passes on basically PR claims. I have toned the latter down, but the article needs other sources.

In the News[edit]

The section "Al Quds Open Uni in the News" is totally unnecessary and irrelevant. It can be replaced with a topic that concerns the Uni's academic activities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dasistdiezukunft (talk • contribs) 19:14, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the "In the News" section because it looked to be an attack piece. Please only restore stuff if you can find sufficient sourcing to demonstrate that (1) it's real and (2) it's highly significant. --TS 13:08, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vanity awards[edit]

One of the awards listed is by Business Initiative Directions (BID) which has been identified as a vanity award, that is, bought and paid for by Al-Quds. These awards are scams and is a strong signal that other awards listed may also be fraudulent in nature. -- GreenC 15:01, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
