== Controversy ==

I've again removed the addition of "controversy" about a University employee. Per ], it is the responsibility for the editor adding it to provide an argument for adding it.

This appears to be a minor disagreement between academics about a study. It was the result of a statement on Twitter, so likely a personal statement, and not any kind of official statement by the University. The tweet and account has since been deleted, so impossible to say. But I don't see what relevance this has to the University as a whole. --] <sup>]</sup> 09:27, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Student newspaper

The Globe is the University's student newspaper? From what I recall Farrago was the student newspaper. --Robert Merkel 23:55, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC) The Universities Newspaper is Uni News, it comes out fortnightly on a Friday and contains a wealth of information about the University, highlighting, council and research activities

compulsory collection of fee

This is the actual text of the bill. It prohibits "compulsory collection" not "collection":

(1) A higher education provider must not: (a) require a person to be or to become a member of an organisation of students, or of students and other persons; or (b) require a person enrolled with, or seeking to enrol with, the provider to pay to the provider or any other entity an amount in respect of an organisation of students, or of students and other persons; unless the person has chosen to be or to become a member of the organisation. (2) A higher education provider must not require a person enrolled with, or seeking to enrol with, the provider to pay to the provider or any other entity an amount for the provision to students of an amenity, facility or service that is not of an academic nature, unless the person has chosen to use the amenity, facility or service.

So don't try to make it seem anything different. Xtra 12:37, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Founding

Is it really accurate to say that the university was "founded by Hugh Chilvers" or was he merely the first vice-chancellor? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fat Red (talkcontribs)

Controversy

I've again removed the addition of "controversy" about a University employee. Per WP:BRD, it is the responsibility for the editor adding it to provide an argument for adding it.

This appears to be a minor disagreement between academics about a study. It was the result of a statement on Twitter, so likely a personal statement, and not any kind of official statement by the University. The tweet and account has since been deleted, so impossible to say. But I don't see what relevance this has to the University as a whole. --Escape Orbit 09:27, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
