[edit] This Article Needs Information About What It Offers Educationally
I would hope someone would take the initiative and list the majors and minors offered by the university and the different colleges that compose WSU. Sorry about the poor grammar in this sentence but its 4 am, give me a break! Ive seen a really good lay out in regards to classes/majors offered at the Univ. Hawaii and the San Diego State U wiki pages. Any comments? The Animal 10:46, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 2006.02.19 Commentary
Does anybody know where the 1915 Championships excerpt that was recently added under the athletics section should go? It seems out of place, maybe it should be moved to a seperate page called Wasington_State_University_1915_championships_debate or something. Also the link to the article mentioning the dispute is also out of place. Any ideas?

I uploaded two more WSU images. Use as you wish in accordance with copyright. Go to each image's page to view copyright info. Note that the Cougarhead logo cannot be used commercially. - User:Herdrick
What is an "undergraduate alumnus"? Wetman 18:04, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC).
Yeah, that's pretty stilted, but I was trying to draw a distinction between former undergrad students and former grad students. People who spent their undergrad years at an institution tend to have parts of their personality influenced by the experience and to feel loyalty and warmth to it. Alumni of a school's graduate program usually don't. In fact, a majority of post-grad degree holders seem to have active dislike of the school where they got that degree. So when mentioning prominent alumni, this distinction is significant. Still, maybe it'd be better to go back to the standard wording.
I think something should be added to the page about the University's recent problems with its reputation for being purely a party school, and how it has overcome that. MooVLuvr 19:25, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC).
[edit] 2005.08.16 Updates
I hope the updates to the campus and to the notable alumni come well-received for those who know / graduated from WSU.
"Over the past four years, the Cougar football teams have been distinguished by the three seasons of ten-wins, national top ten rankings, Pac-10 championships, and bowl games." This makes it sound like WSU was the pac ten champion from 2001-2003, when in fact they won it in 2002 and finished second in the other two years. Not that big of a deal, but I'm going to change it a bit to make it more clear.
[edit] Bob Bates link
I think I found a problem with the Bob Bates link. Robert Bates is a provost at Washington State, but the link describes Bob Bates the computer game designer. These are two different people.
[edit] ' It is ranked among the top half of national universities according to U.S. News.'
I dont know what survey you're reffering to..last years survey? I dont know becuase there isnt a link or anything that tells me. I do know of the newest US News Survey that can be found here > [[1]] . If your talking about last years survey this should be updated, because as of now it is ranked 112--not the top half. If im making some horrible mistake show us all where this information is! -Clown57
