[edit] Campus Terminology
The Administration at UML changed Academic North to East Campus formally about a year and a half ago. See it here at the OFFICIAL UMASS/Lowell website. Please stop changing it unless you know what you are talking about.--Azathar 03:19, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Alright, alright. No need for your attitude, though. 24.107.227.12 04:20, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Well, you didn't need to write the "East Campus crap" either in your edits comment. One of the reasons people make negative comments about Wikis is that its contributers don't check the facts. Since I go to UML, and have been going since 1999, I would like to see it (the UML entry) remain as correct as possible. Sorry if I sound like I have an attitude.--Azathar 05:23, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Poor Mans' MIT
Is there a source for the claim of UML being the "poor man's MIT"? I keep telling myself that it is, as the purported quality of the education here is the main thing stopping me from transferring. The Taped Crusader 08:40, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
- I've been looking but have yet to find an actual source other than wikipedia that notes this phrase. While it may not be widely held through the state, it seems a commonly held belief with the UML Engineering Department. From what I remember "Poor man's MIT" was actually a reference that was transferred from Lowell Tech, which as the article notes later merged with Lowell State to form UML. It goes back to when MIT and Lowell Tech were the better of the few quality technical schools in the state. CRobey 03:52, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Chancellor Hogan
From what I read the Chancellor is resigning during the summer. While an interim Chancellor or permanent replacement has yet to be announced, it will likely need to be changed within a few months. CRobey 03:52, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Expansion/Structure
I restructured the article, adding a bunch of information. Most of it seemed relevant but I didn't have the time to properly structure each subarticle. I added a section on demographics. If I have the time I'll pull the info from the campus profile on the UML admission site[1]. The WUML seemed out of place so I put it in it's own category, I'm sure since it has an entire article of its own, it should be easy to expand.
[edit] North/South/East/West campus section
I'd like to add a section for each campus, but I really only know North and East, anybody familiar with South or West that wants to add some more specific info? - robogymnast 03:23, 14 Sep 2006 (UTC)
I've started making a seperate section for each campus on my user page, feel free to help out. The added / edited sections will be merged with the current article when it is finished. Robogymnast 20:23, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Greek Life?
It was my understanding that Greek Life at UML was disassociated decades ago - is it still WikiPedia-worthy? At least some mention of their "unrecognized" status is a must. Midnightdreary 22:20, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- I don't believe that they are especially relevant on campus, although what their official status is I have no idea. Robogymnast 00:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
