Pennsylvania State University[edit]
I've been doing some work on this article lately but would like some broader feedback, particularly from editors not as closely tied to Penn State as myself who may be able to offer some more objective feedback. Any and all criticism is welcome! Thanks in advance. PSUMark2006 talk | contribs 17:45, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I went to Penn State, but I'd one topic that I think should be addressed (perhaps near the Demographics and Trends sections) is the alleged racial discrimination that some students feel at Penn State. The "Village" incident in April-May of 2001 was a very big story at Penn State, which was a week long sit-in at the HUB due to death threats against black students. [1] Discrimination (racial or non-racial) is still a big issue to many students at Penn State today, as just yesterday week the Black Caucus participated in a sit-in regarding the former women's basketball player Jen Harris [2]. To keep that section balanced, perhaps a mention or two of what Penn State is doing to help minority students. Terryfilene22 20:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps a mention of Penn State having the highest tuition in the nation for a "public flagship university", according to USA Today? (even though PSU is technically state-related) [3] The article needs a more balanced view of the university in order not to violate WP:PRESTIGE. The two biggest issues I can think of when it comes to criticism of PSU are alleged discrimination issues and high tuition bills. Arthurberkhardt 03:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Two new sections added, discussing controversy and criticism regarding diversity and tuition at Penn State. Thanks for the feedback... keep it coming! PSUMark2006 talk | contribs 05:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
