Talk:St. Thomas University (Canada)

message: I am wondering why this article was re-named, when their website clearly says their name is "St. Thomas University." --Spinboy 17:23, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm pretty sure Mulroney attended "STU" when it was still a school in Chatham.  That's probably why it's not listed in the university section of the Mulroney article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.164.73.80 (talk) 17:40, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I know the university has a Catholic history, but (at least as I understand it) it is not affiliated with any religious group, even though some Catholic traditions may continue.  Suggest removing "Catholic" from the opening sentence. Albnd (talk) 15:23, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've also noticed that despite having some Catholic traditions present at the school, they do not require their students to take religious courses, unlike other religious schools in New Brunswick; for example, Crandall University: https://www.crandallu.ca/program/arts-science/program-requirements-ba-sc/ Hnnhy (talk) 16:59, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Catholic" university 

message: Was wondering why the paragraph describing the faculty assn. was removed? Would ask on the editor's talk page, but there is none and in fact this is the only edit listed for that ISBN. If someone here would like to discuss the issue that would be great. Otherwise, I will revert the edit in a few days. — scribblingwoman 19:13, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Seeing no discussion, I have reverted the edit. Am more than willing to hear why the previous editor removed it, if they would like to discuss it here.— scribblingwoman 19:01, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

message: St. Thomas University has a really good internships program for students looking to gain working experience. I'd like to add this in as many people don't know it exists.  Hnbzj (talk) 13:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

message: Hi, I noticed the word "aboriginal" was used in this article, and as a Canadian I know our Indigenous peoples do not use that term. I edited it, and changed the link from the aboriginal page to an indigenous page. --Sdb46 (talk) 18:59, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Indigenous instead of Aboriginal 

message: St. Thomas University acknowledges that the land in which the school is built on is traditional territory of Indigenous tribes: https://www.stu.ca/indigenous-homepage/land-acknowledgement-/ Hnnhy (talk) 18:33, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, a land acknowledgment section would be appropriate for St. Thomas University's Wikipedia page. There needs to be proper recognition such as mentioning the names of the Indigenous nations or communities (i.e., Wolastoqiyik 'Maliseet', or Mi'kmaq). A statement of acknowledgement should be made either near the beginning of the page, or within the history section. Colby20022 (talk) 19:48, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Land Acknowledgment  

message: St. Thomas University has a list of policies that have not been mentioned on this Wikipedia page. I think a brief section on the policies can be quite beneficial for those who attend the University and for incoming students. This section could cover a range of topics such as academic policies, student conduct codes, diversity and inclusion initiatives, sustainability efforts, and annual reports. Including a policy and report section can enhance it's overall look, providing readers with valuable information about St. Thomas University's values and commitments. It can also highlight the universities responsibility for what they believe in, and how they appropriately manage situations: https://www.stu.ca/about/administrative-offices/vice-president-academic-and-research/policies-and-reports/ Colby20022 (talk) 19:28, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Policies and Reports 

message: I am wondering why there isn't a land acknowledgement section in the beginning that states that "St.Thomas University is located is the traditional territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Wəlastəkewiyik / Maliseet whose ancestors along with the Mi’Kmaq / Mi’kmaw and Passamaquoddy / Peskotomuhkati Tribes / Nations signed Peace and Friendship Treaties with the British Crown in the 1700s." as per said on the official page of St. Thomas University page
