Talk:Université de Montréal

message: I seriously think Gilles Brassard deserves to be in the list of famous alumni and faculty. To start with he is both alumni and faculty of UdeM. His name is one of the Bs in the BB84 protocol for quantum cryptography. He is an ISI highly cited researcher. This can also be confirmed by simply typing his name in google scholar where you will find half dozen articles with more or around a 1000 citations. Finally, and not surprisingly, the Canadian Federal government created an award with his name http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Prizes-Prix/Brassard-Brassard/Index-Index_eng.asp.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.29.199.153 (talk) 01:56, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

message: I haven't found any other source indicating that it is the second largest French language university in the world. The French version of the page doesn't mention this either. - Gdm 16:45, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I have assessed this as Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub, and of mid importance, as I believe that the topic plays a strong role in Canada. Cheers, CP 14:47, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Please note that the coordinates in this article need fixing as:
* "Université de Montréal" is not the same as "Université du Québec à Montréal". These coordinates are those of "Université du Québec à Montéal" (aka UQAM).
** I replaced the old coordinates with those of the french version of the article, which I assume to be correct. --m3taphysical (talk) 18:14, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I have now removed claims that the Institut Biblique VIE and the École de Théologie Évangélique de Montréal are part of and/or affiliated to the university. Sources tend to indicate that these institutions only maintain limited agreements with the university , allowing them to share courses and offering credit with the university's department of religious studies. From what I have seen, the university officially recognizes two schools (Polytechnique and HEC). Please state your sources if you believe I'm wrong. --m3taphysical (talk) 20:57, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm currently working to expand and complete any information missing in this article. It seems I'm one of the few who regularly adds information. I'd just like to make clear that it isn't my intention to monopolize edits. Feel free to criticize or even undo my edits as you see fit. --m3taphysical (talk) 01:49, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

message: In the french version of the article, endowment is said to be 1192,5 millions (including affiliated schools [HEC Montreal, Ecole Polytechnique])
source : http://www.umontreal.ca/udem-aujourdhui/fr/faits-et-chiffres/index.html
This english version sets the endowment at 142.5 millions which is not even close to reasonable for an institution like UdeM.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.85.5.19 (talk) 19:53, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: How is the endowment not reasonable. The majority of university endowments in Canada are around that area or lower. As for your source, I looked at it and all it states is nothing about the endowment figure, it only brings up the school's entire operating budget, and its entire revenue fund (I'm assuming this is where the figure of 1,192.5 comes from). While the revenue of a university includes the endowment, the revenue is not entirely made up of it, as it also includes tuition fees, government operating grants, etc. The latest endowment figure provided by the university is actually $133.938 million, down from the 2008 figure. However that drop was nearly universal in Canada as almost all university endowments went down since the financial crisis. I've fixed both the French and English pages. The annual report with the endowment figure can be found here: http://www.direction.umontreal.ca/recteur/documents/rapport-annuel/rap_an2009en.pdf (page 12) Leventio (talk) 18:14, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

message: I was entering the university's programs of study, and, suddenly, all of the information below was deleted. I tried to undo the changes, but everything remains because there is a website (which was previously on the article) that is on Wikipedia's blacklist and that must be removed. Help! --MaxAMSC (talk) 00:56, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
