Talk:Ulster University

message: The box says founded in 1968. Should we change it to 1984, or consider those changes as being more akin to the New University of Ulster gobbling up the polytechnic? Timrollpickering 21:47, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I think keep the former date, the arguement can be made that the university was in transition and has a common past. You do however have a point- the royal charter refers to "...a new university institution, known as the “University of Ulster”, be constituted and founded within Northern Ireland..." and this is a very good case for the latter date. But unusually the polytechnic swollowed the university - rather strange in the UK experience! Djegan 23:01, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

:Magee was not a college of Dublin, though it did have an arrangement similar to what exists now with Froebel and the Church of Ireland College of Education where the degrees are granted by the University of Dublin. William Quill 14:01, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Is this a useful or clear entry? For universities in the Republic where a clear legal record is needed for Senate elections this is meaningful data, but for other universities it's either guesswork or the number the university alumni office has on record (and the latter really says more about how good the alumni office is at maintaining contacts, and how easy a task that is, than anything else).

replies: text: I'm inclined to remove the stat from the box - I don't think this is clearcut data or useful for comparisons - most universities don't use it and the ones that do have a different method of gathering. Timrollpickering 23:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Prior to 1984 did Coleraine use for day to day purposes "New University of Ulster" or "University of Ulster" as its name? (For similar see "Victoria University of Manchester".) Timrollpickering 15:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

message: (I'm posting this to all articles on UK universities as so far discussion hasn't really taken off on Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities.)
There needs to be a broader convention about which university rankings to include in articles. Currently it seems most pages are listing primarily those that show the institution at its best (or worst in a few cases). See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities#University ratings.

message: The references are both in an arts section.  I'm sure a similar reference could be provided for an array of languages, French, German, Spanish, Urdu, and it continues.  Irish is not the Native name of the University of Ulster, UU is what is on it's charter, it is the only name used.  Also, as per Talk:Queen's University Belfast, Irish should only be used with Ulster Scots for NI public bodies as per the Belfast Agreement.  Irish alone is POV.Traditional unionist 17:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No Irish alone is not POV. I can't speak Ulster Scots, I don't know the Ulster scots name, but if someone tells me of an Ulster Scots name I'll have absolutely no problem adding it in. Derry Boi 17:25, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Irish is a irish nationalist associated language, therefore its inclusion without the Ulster Scots parity is POV.  It must be removed to keep this article NPOV.Traditional unionist 18:21, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've got to disagree on POV - the litmus test should be whether or not the university is is officially using one or both. If they are using one and not the other then the article should reflect the official use not try to correct it (and if there is documented controversy about said use then that perhaps should be covered in a section of the main text).

text: Please refrain from accusations of political persuasions and opinions. The Irish language is taught and used within this island by people of all political opinions and is not exclusive to one side over another! As the University of Ulster uses the Irish reflection on some of its communications and as Irish is used by members of the university, it cannot be argued as POV. --  RÓNÁN   "Caint / Talk"  11:59, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

message: While the Institute of Nursing Research is arguably notable, it is not a separate entity from the University of Ulster. It therefore makes sense to merge the little information about it here to the main article about the University of Ulster instead. ToniSant (talk) 17:57, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes. It is multi-campus and notable, but short enough to fit in the UU article. It could, one day, be expanded into an article: make it an . --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 15:28, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
