Talk:St. John's University (New York City)

Clear now that IP 208.120.47.96 is vandal with agenda

I havent visited this page in several months, but I return to find the same suspiciously determined individual who once went by the name "uconnstud" obsessively degrading this article and attempting to slander the university. It is clear to me that the only two motives for such a consistent and determined behavior over years, one that involves hourly monitoring of this particular article by the perpetrator seven days a week,are 1.personal ax to grind of a MAJOR kind, or 2.someone who is working on behalf of a competing university that is threatend by St. Johns recent rise. I believe the later is more reasonable. Were it merly personal, it would be less consistent as an individual person would not have the time to monitor this article 24/7 and have a life. I believe that a competing regional university has a group of people actually assigned to this article in hopes of harming St. johns rep. We all know the recent construction of campus dorms, which for decades didnt exist, record freshman admissions and increasing school popularity has made the school more competitive. It is clear that 208.120.47.96 is a group of people and not just one guy. And what is going on here is more serious than first thought, especially with the revelation of the facebook slander page. 208.120.47.96 needs to be banned immediately. There is no reason in debating someone whos stated motives are disingenuous and who's true motives are clearly molevolent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.204.165 (talk) 04:08, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Page on St. John's University, NY

I think that the article about St. John's University, New York was a torpedo job. Whoever wrote it 1. brought the long outdated strike which was going on when I was a student there, using a Time Magazine article for ALL his info. this controversy has no relation to the university, and, because the University is solid Catholic, Time, and the writer obviously tried to blackened the eye of the place. Probably the most offensive part was citing the Time article saying that the university was kind of substandard. I had an excellent education there, and I know plenty of scholars and successful persons who have gone there. In addition, I have six academic degrees form a variety of universities, so I should know what a good education is, not the mention the fact that I taught there for 5 years.

The writer also mis interprets the US News article about rankings of the Business School. The article is in US News' "Best Business Schools" section--how is this "unranked?" The Tobin School of Business is accredited by the American Association of Colleges and Schools of Business, which is the ONLY accreditation for business schools, and it is an accreditation which is hard to get.

Maybe someone will revise the article who is honest and does not have an ax to grind!

Merge discussion

I have completed the technical steps of two incomplete merge proposals from St. John's University (Italy) and St. John's University School of Law. Please discuss this here. Note that I do not have an opinion as to the proposals themselves. Debresser (talk) 12:47, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

I do not think it is appropriate to merge the law school page with the rest of the University page because every other law school in New York (and every else that I checked) maintains a separate wikipedia page. --206.205.117.10 (talk) 21:39, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

it is honestly academic boosterism for most schools. st john's university law school is such a small article that it would better serve as a part of the main article. 24.239.153.58 (talk) 09:18, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

It is a large and significant enough article to remain seperate. This proposed merge seems a waste and serves no real purpose
