Talk:Metropolitan State College of Denver

message: I am removing this text:
:students experience urban excitement, convenience and diversity, as well as unmatched cultural and recreational opportunities. It is the second largest college in the state with an enrollment of over 25,000 students.
until citations are made for:
* urban excitement levels of Metro State students
* convenience levels of Metro State students
* diversity levels of Metro State students and the surrounding environment
* #1 ranking w.r.t. cultural opportunities
* #1 ranking w.r.t. recreational opportunities
* Metro State is "larger" than CU-Boulder and CSU (# of students? geographical area?)

message: It seems to me that the recent additions to the first paragraph would be more credible without so much passive voice (e.g. “…college is noted…”, “…is recognized nationally…”).  Who's doing the noting and recognizing? —Fleminra 02:05, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Can we get some information on the teaching program here?  I think it's great that the Aviation department gets theirs, as I understand it's top notch in the state, and possibly in the country.  As a Journalism Dept grad, I think it's couple paragraphs are deserving, though, I wouldn't put anymore.
What about the teachers?  I don't know if it's changed in the two years since I finished, but I seem to recall that Metro had one of the Country's best programs, can we get some info on that?? Throughthelens (talk) 05:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Teachers?

message: Is this really a relevant wiki entry of this school? One teacher does one controversial assignment regarding a Vice Presidential candidate, and it gets a mention. This is a 43 year old school, and 6 months from now, regardless of the Presidential race outcome, it will be less than an asterisk. This seems politically motivated to either bring attention to the candidate, or show a political bias of the faculty, for which this is the only example cited.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.111.84.118 (talk) 20:11, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Palin Controversy 

message: Today, the Board of Trustees of Metro decided to pursue changing the institution's name with the legislature.  How should we factor this into the article? JessicaSideways (talk) 20:18, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Denver State University 

message: Is it possible (or even permissible) to upload a different graphic image to represent the college, and replace the image that currently appears at the top of the info box in the upper right-hand corner of the article?  The "M-bird" logo – either formal or informal – is my suggestion.  I do not know enough, legally or technically, about taking such an action myself, so I must leave it to a more capable and qualified editor.  Dcrumbaker (talk) 18:41, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The article would be better if we added pictures. I would add buildings that are unique to Metro such as the Golda Meir House and the Ninth Street Historic District.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JLAmidei (talk • contribs) 08:12, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Add pictures?

message: Metro State’s Board of Trustees voted 6-3 this morning to take a major step forward in changing the College’s name to Metropolitan State University of Denver. 
  
A bill allowing the name change will be introduced in the Colorado General Assembly within the month by primary sponsors Sen. Lucia Guzman, D-Denver, and Rep. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver. If approved by the legislature and the governor, the new name will be implemented in the 2012-2013 academic year.Metro State’s Board of Trustees voted 6-3 this morning to take a major step forward in changing the College’s name to Metropolitan State University of Denver.
