Talk:List of universities in the Netherlands

message: The Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, on its English website, translates hogescholen with "higher professional education institutions." See page 61 of : "Dutch higher education comprises higher professional education (HBO) and university education (WO). These types of education are provided by HBO institutions (hogescholen) and universities respectively."
Note that this is not my text, but some of it may come useful when expanding the text of this article. It does not replace the recognition of the Dutch government of the common English-language terminology as applied to Dutch vocational universities, but only explains local terminology. gidonb (talk) 23:27, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Excesssive detail that was copied from the vocational universities template

message: The following entry was removed:
|colspan="2"|Intercultural Open University||1982||Opeinde||Private||Foundation for social change|| || 
I will recover this entry. Here is a press article about it: http://www.skepsis.nl/iou.html 
There it is written that IOU would be accredited by Accrediting Council for Colleges and Universities and by the International Association for Distance Learning, the first being an organization which could no longer be reached, due to not being able to pay its own bills.
The article says that IOU sells PhD degrees in India for a price of Euro 250.00 (Rupees 9000.00). It has many partners and collaborators who also sell degrees obtained by education at distance. Therefore, I think there is enough ground to recover the entry, since it is clear that it is a diploma mill situated in the Netherlands. Tgeorgescu (talk) 16:58, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Intercultural Open University

message: IOU Foundation does present a difficulty in classification.  It is registered as a charitable educational foundation in The Netherlands but has no faulty,students or charitable donations from The Netherlands. Those individuals using its educational programs are all outside The Netherlands. It is a global institution with a Netherlands address. It probably deserves to appear in a separate category from other educational institutions.Puntero1 (talk) 14:50, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

message: The following text, which has been part of the article for more than a year without anyone commenting on it was recently removed by the new anon User:89.100.58.51 with the edit summary "if it's not  a university it doesn't belong in a list of universities"
===Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences===
 
Although not a university, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences has many links with Dutch universities; its mission is to be the forum, conscience and representative of Dutch science.
 
While strictly speaking and acknowledged by the statement itself the KNAW is not a university, it provides important context for the Dutch academic society... i.e. the universities. Many lists in Wikipedia have things that are strictly speaking not part of the topic of the list, and is included to provide context. For example the List of sovereign states includes non recognised states, the List of countries by GDP (nominal) contains the worlds and the EU to provide context. In my view this is sufficient argument to include brief mention to KNAW in this article. If nobody objects, I'll put it back in a few days. Arnoutf (talk) 17:49, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Seeing the history of reversions, this seemed appropriate for the Education in the Netherlands article, so I added it there. That may be a better location to set context.  Personally I think deleting valid content is a bad idea, its better to preserve it, somewhere.  Dhollm (talk) 14:56, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
