Talk:Ross School of Business

message: I think this article reads a little too much like a promo.  If the superlatives could be removed and the facts given more prominence it would be a fine article. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:41, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, based on Wikipedia:Avoid_academic_boosterism so I'm moving the cleanup marker to the main page, rather than the talk page. I hope we can track down some information about the history of the school, its founding, etc., rather than focusing only on the changes made by the most recent administration.

replies: text: Given the POV problems associated with the rankings, I have decided to move it here to the talk page. Since I have also added some information concerning history (with the little information that I have obtained so far), I decided to remove the cleanup tag for now. If someone believes that the article is still in need of a cleanup, replace the cleanup tag and give a reason for it. I appreciate the help if someone provides it.

message: This article is listed under a category, University of Michigan, that itself is a subcategory of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Therefore it seems there's no need for it to appear under the Ann Arbor cat as well; this makes the architecture of the Ann Arbor cat and its subcats confusing and redundant. I'm removing the Ann Arbor cat, but if anyone objects, feel free to comment or revert. Ropcat 21:20, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

I don't have access to US News Ranking, so can somebody do that?

message: Can something be done to eliminate the massive duplication of alumni names that appear in BOTH this article AND List of University of Michigan business alumni?  There isn't any good reason to have (exactly?) the same (lengthy) list appear in two different articles in Wikipedia. Your username goes here 19:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Ross School Logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title:  University of Michigan Project 

message: Professors - CK Prahalad - can something be added that he essentially replaced Michael Porter as the go to Corporate Strategist with Core Competencies concept.
Paul McCracken - worked as economic advisor for at least one President. 
Alumni - although I don't really like him, Governer Snyder should be added.
Also, I thought I read the founders of Groupon were some Ross alumni, tried to get a mascot started on campus in 90's.

thread_title:  Additions to Ross School 

message: Hello,
I work in the communications & marketing office at the Ross School of Business.
Last year I did some work to clean up some clear factual errors (and broken links, etc.) in the Ross entry. However, there are still some areas where the entry is incomplete, outdated, or not-quite-right. But having digested the Wikipedia guidelines on conflicts of interest and academic boosterism, it was pretty clear I shouldn’t make any further changes myself. 
So – and I hope this approach is OK – I thought I would propose the following changes here, and if others think they are reasonable, maybe someone could find the time to make them (or tell me it’s OK for me to do it)?
Thanks in advance,
Bob Needham
•	The info box lists a motto, “Leading in thought and action.” Although that hasn’t formally been eliminated, we’re not really using it any more. We suggest replacing it with our mission statement: “Mission: Developing leaders who make a positive difference in the world.”
•	Also in the info box, the current endowment is actually $385 million (not $540 million)
•	Also in the box, if “Academic staff” means faculty, a current number is 210 (151 full time plus 59 adjunct or visiting)
•	Also in the box, student numbers can be updated to 1,422 (undergraduate) and 1,873 (graduate)
•	Also in the box, alumni could be updated to “45,000+” or “about 46,000”
•	Under Facilities and institutes: The date of the announcement of the second Stephen Ross gift is wrong – it was September 2013 (not 2014). We propose an additional sentence explaining what the money will go toward: “The second gift is being used for facilities upgrades, including high-tech classrooms, a new career services space, and additional areas for practical research; as well as student scholarships.” (ref: http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-09-04/stephen-ross-makes-200-million-gift-to-university-of-michigan)
•	Also under Facilities and institutes – Although we wouldn’t expect to list all the school’s institutes and centers (there are 17), one of the more prominent is missing. We’d suggest adding: “Center For Positive Organizations (http://positiveorgs.bus.umich.edu/) / Founded in 2002 as the Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship, the center’s mission is ‘to inspire and enable leaders to build high-performing organizations that bring out the best in people.’ It conducts and disseminates research on topics such as positive leadership, meaning and purpose, ethics and virtues, and relationships and culture in an organizational setting. Starting in 2014, it sponsors an annual Positive Business Conference. (ref: http://www.freep.com/article/20140516/BUSINESS06/305160145/university-michigan-positive-conference) ”
•	The History section is clearly lacking (it really only covers 1990-2011). I will create a separate post proposing some updates for that section.
•	Under Current and former professors, it would be good to add Kim S. Cameron, who has a Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_S._Cameron 
•	Finally, the school’s URL will be changing as of Aug. 1. If it’s OK, I’ll go in and make that one change myself when the time comes.
