I have removed the section on "Highest paid college principal in Scotland," because the information is outdated and irrelevant. The College has no Principal at the moment. The previous principal (Hossein Godazgar) is no longer on the salary quoted in this section. Therefore, it is misleading. The whole section is entirely misleading. Also, the other sections are very misleading. For example, in the "QAA oversight reports" section, the information provided in inaccurate. There is an updated QAA report, which has not been cited. The next section "Malory Nye controversy" goes through in detail allegations that were dismissed by a tribunal. The heading of the article is even wrong! It is not called Al-Maktoum institute. The page has been clearly written by a bitter ex-employee to damage the reputation of the College unfairly. I have no interest in tidying the page up. However, I remove the sections, which are clearly misleading, inaccurate and unfair. VígiArnifrid (talk) 13:01, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@VígiArnifrid: The "highest paid college principal in Scotland" section, like most of Wikipedia, doesn't discuss current events. It discusses an event in 2016 relating to the college, something clear by the wording of the section. I do agree that it lacks media coverage, and may not be as well sourced as Wikipedia guidelines require, though Companies House is a reliable source for income details as can be seen by its usage on Wikipedia. The section is not misleading, it is written quite clearly and only contains information from reliable sources being cited.
On the QAA report, the May 2016 report is the latest I could find on the web, if you know of a more recent report, please link it here and I'll update the information on the report.
The Malory Nye controversy goes into detail of the allegations due to the fact that media coverage does so as well. Excluding this information would simply not stating facts related to the controversy.
The heading of the article is determined by the common name in sources, but it does in fact seem to be Al-Maktoum College Of Higher Education. I'll submit a request to move the article when I get to it.
I don't believe the page has been written by a bitter ex-employee. The main reason for the information possibly giving an unfavorable view of the college is due to 2 things:
1) The college has had a large amount of controversy
2) The media coverage on the college is mainly on these controversies, therefore not much is known about other goings in the college.
I'm glad you're helping out in Wikipedia, but I don't see anything that makes those sections "misleading and inaccurate". Are they unfair? Only because the media is unfair and there is no further information on the college, they are merely stating the facts.
If you believe I've got anything wrong, feel free to point out. As a new user I recommend you to read WP:NPOV and all the links in WP:NOBLANKING as I believe that'd help you be a constructive editor to the Encyclopedia.
