message: User:NBost has asked me via email about the "citation needed" template for the statement about NYTimes and IHT calling IUN the most international of Switzerland's university-level institutions.  It means just what it says it means: we need a citation for that passage.  I have done a GNews search for it (including archives) and can't find it.  I will soon remove it if no-one produces a proper source for it.  
Mrs Bost (apparently the university's librarian) also indicates that "they" (presumably several people at the university) want to remove the passage about accreditation.  However, the source provided does appear to establish that the university is not on the list of accredited/recognized institutions.  Nomoskedasticity (talk) 11:05, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I also cannot find a source for the statement. The fact that it is attributed to both the NYTimes and the IHT leads me to think that it appeared in paid content included in an advertising supplement to both papers. In the past, I've seen similar statements with similar attribution submitted by other institutions, and they turned out to come from that type of source. --Orlady (talk) 14:31, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that's very likely correct.  I've just done some searching in Nexis, and there is no such article.  So, I've removed the passage.  I suspect this won't be the end of it, though.  Nomoskedasticity (talk) 15:35, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

text: I restored the statement about lack of CRUS recognition. It is true now, even if it will change in 2016. If there is a published source that discusses the CRUS accreditation situation, information could be added to the article. --Orlady (talk) 15:27, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Query from university staff 

message: International University in Geneva is not listed in the three webpages as sources by the Ministry of Education in Switzerland accreditation;

# https://akkreditierungsrat.ch/akkreditierungsentscheide/institutionelle-akkreditierung/

Under the guiding principle from SAC this institution does not hold the HEdA-u designation AAQ to call itself a University legally;

The HEdA came into effect on 1 January 2015. With HEdA, the designations “university“, “university
of applied sciences” or “university of teacher education” and derived designations such
as “university college” or “UAS college” can only be used by public or private institutions that
have been institutionally accredited by the Swiss Accreditation Council. This also applies to
designations in languages other than Swiss national languages. Other designations such as
“academy”, “school”, “institute”, etc. remain unreserved and do not require accreditation.
The Institution article is using misleading wording, self sourced links, outdated pages, dead links for some serious claims. (UNESCO list of Universities comes to my mind when i was browsing the page) In one instance they used the reputable University de Geneve as a cooperating listing for degree programs between institution. These offenses are serious.
Also the BAC referenced with the European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education (EQAR) states the Institutional accreditation for BAC was valid from 2017 untill 31/10/2021. Which was proxy wise giving some kind of partnership recognition to IUG.
With the new changes at the start of 2023, i am not sure if this Institution will be able to hold the name it has,as of my writing. They will be able to award the so called "private degrees" but being established in Switzerland and using the word University is not something they will be able to do.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ErrgoProxy (talk • contribs) 11:32, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regarding the University 

message: The IUN changed name to IIG and as a consequence it would be good to update this page's title to International Institute in Geneva instead of International University in Geneva. XavierPN (talk) 15:00, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
