Ranking

The article stated that NWU's poor ranking performance compared to Uct, Maties and Tuks was due to its smaller student numbers. This is rubbish as NWU has a large student population and there is little correlation between student size and performance. Just look at Brown. I removed this statement. Any objections? 18:27, 15 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.18.208.162 (talk)

History

I find that the focus of this section is on the Puk, while the merger partner, University of North West, is ignored. This section seems biased and should incorporate the institution's shared history.PurpleDuke 17:45, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
