Talk:University of St. Thomas (Texas)

message: Is this named after (1) St. Thomas the Apostle, or (2) St. Thomas Aquinas, or (3) St. Thomas Becket, or (4) St. Thomas More, or (5) other?  I'm guessing (2).  But the article should give the answer! Michael Hardy 02:07, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I updated the numbers to reflect this year...  its currently $590/hour and $17,700 for 30 hours...  Someone had already updated the room/board costs with a round number ($7000), which I updated to the exact $6800.  Printing expenses and the like are optional, so they can't be included...  209.184.165.20 17:11, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the note in the main section that UST is not a part of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, as it is nothing but lies.  UST is listed under the schools section of the Archdiocesan website just like every other Catholic institution in the Archdiocese.  This has also been confirmed by Dr. Bill Cork, the Archdiocesan Director of Young Adult and Campus Ministry, under whose jurisdiction UST Campus Ministry answers to.  UST does maintain a board of directors (like every other university), but the board is not an independent establishment. Clint 03:33, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The jurisdiction does fall under the Archdiocese.  The University maintains a board of directors that oversees matters, but Archbishop Fiorenza was (and to my knowledge, still is) on that board.  I would assume that Archbishop DiNardo is too, as he has been sporting the UST star pin on his jacket recently (he was at my parish for the Confirmation mass a couple of weeks ago). Clint 07:21, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Just because there are Archbishops on the Board of Directors does not mean that they possess the ability to make unilateral decisions as they may have with the Archdiocese.  Rather, the Board of Directors at UST act as a body under certain rules in which a majority or supermajority is required to make decisions, depending on the action being considered.  Therefore, while UST is within the geographical bounds of the Archdiocese, and the Archbishops sit on the Board by virtue of this position, do not confuse this with the concept that UST is under control of the Archdiocese.

There is absolutely no legitimate reason for the deletion of the Poem Controversy. I changed it from Current Events to Poem Controversey since it isn't so current. But damned if local coverage of an on-campus story isn't relevant to readers. --Newrocys 17:20, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  History 

message: This section is filled with unsubstantiated claims, or at the very least biased language. Acceptance rates need to be substantiated. "Well respected" music program? "Top art" musueum? ACCORDING TO WHO? I don't mean to say they are untrue, but they need to be backed up? Am I alone here?--Newrocys 23:28, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Special programs 

message: I had to update and change a lot of it. It was FILLED with false information and it lacked important information too.--Newrocys 23:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just curious, do we really need a lot of the information present on that page?  I mean, we definitely don't need the listing of clubs (especially considering how frequently the official list changes), and I'm starting to think that the whole SOC section doesn't have much encyclopedic value.  I mean, a student looking to potentially join the university would care, but someone researching the university could probably care less about its inclusion...  Clint 20:09, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Student organizations 

message: Is UST actually a memmber of the NAIA? They are not listed on the Web site, and I keep hearing rumors that they are still not full-fleged members of the group. Maybe its a probationary member or something of the like, but I can't find confirmation that NAIA approved UST's application. This says that NAIA would release its decision in September. So can anyone verify it?
:The university was notified this fall by the NAIA that it was accepted to full membership, according to the October 2, 2006 issue of Star View, a publication put out by the university's Office of Public Affairs. Blwarren713 18:29, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

message: There appears to be some conflict over whether UST's official school colors are red and gold, or if they are red and white.  According to the 2006-2007 UST SPIRE Factbook and a recent issue of Star View, the official school colors are, in fact, red and gold. Blwarren713 20:49, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
