message: Some history would be great. Why is the university called National University, despite the fact that national universities in countries around the world are public institutions, organized or overseen or otherwise associated with the national gov't, while this National University is private? Why does it have so many campuses, when the vast majority of private universities do not? Why is the university relatively unknown (I for one, for example, had never heard of it), despite having so many students (or, perhaps, the question should be vice versa)? Just some thoughts for expansion. Cheers. LordAmeth (talk) 07:33, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: History

message: When looking for content to add into Wikipedia, I usually stick by, if someone has written about it, it belongs in Wikipedia.  I am certainly not a deletionist, but this article has the absolute most detail I've seen that absolutely no one has written about.  Here are a few items I was surprised to find in this article:
*The unsourced concentrations of every department of every college at the school.
*The listing of every learning center in every military base where this school has a presence.
*The mission statement.
*The committees of the board of trustees.
*Six in-text mentions of the Henderson, NV campus which lists a suite in an office building as its location.
*The location of every on-line learning center of this university.
None of this information is sourced, and I imagine a lot of it changes from year to year.  I'm tempted to condense it a bit.  Any ideas on how to do this without removing the useful information?  I'm thinking the National University System should have its own article, and I think much of the governance can go there.  But what in the world do I do with the recognition information that states National's endowment is 200/796.  Is that supposed to be notable? JamaUtil (talk) 07:17, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite so.  Should there be a category and navbox for every branch education office? Hardly.  WP:UNIGUIDE is the proper format and guidance. --S. Rich (talk) 14:46, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

message: In the section titled "Recognitions," it states "Since 1994, U.S. News & World Report has listed National University among America's Best Colleges and Universities in the western U.S." However, the link to the US News website shows the university as unranked, both in the national university list, and in the western regional university list. Moreover, a footnote on the US News site suggests the ranking was due to National University opting not to fill out the necessary US News survey for ranking. Given this information, I'd strongly suggest this bullet be either removed or changed to show the current status of the university as being "unranked."
If the bullet is ignoring the fact that it is unranked, and merely referencing the fact that US News acknowledges the school's existence, then I strongly recommend removing the misleading information that it was listed "among" the top universities. It was not listed "among" the top universities (as that would indicate it too was listed) but rather listed "in addition to" the US's top schools.
If anyone is interested, the site is: http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/national-university-11460

message: Institute has been part of National University for all but two years.  Is not sufficiently notable to merit its own article. Rogermx (talk) 16:23, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose merge on the grounds that it is so arms-length from the University (see their website) that it seems, despite the name, to be barely associated. However, I do suggest changing the name to its current one (since 2009): National University System Institute for Policy Research. Klbrain (talk) 07:19, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
