Missing information

The president listed in the article is not the current president. Dr. Joseph Collins was named Acting Interim President of College of DuPage . Monicaa94 (talk) 22:31, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Codlogo.gif

Image:Codlogo.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:20, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

This article has serious point-of-view problems

A quick read of the article shows that the article in general fails to adhere to a neutral point of view. The Semester Conversion section is a one-sided diatribe against the semester conversion, while the Benefits section presents COD in a unambiguously positive light.

If others could find sources to state the opposing viewpoints and work those into the article, that would be fantastic. Otherwise, I was planning to remove most of those sections and replace them with statements of the facts. Hopefully, whatever the conversion, the article will become better.

This article needs to be gutted. All the 'facts' cited about COD (gains to the economy, gains from a college education, etc.) would extend to any higher education institution. Factor in that, well, COD is a community college, and those facts probably carry less meaning when compared to similar stats from other universities in the area. I am going to cut out a few peacock words, but I agree there are serious slant problems with this article. Tool2Die4 (talk) 18:08, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Contradiction in lede

The first sentence, "The College of DuPage, or COD, is the Midwest's largest single-campus two-year community college and the third largest in the nation, with its main campus located in Glen Ellyn, Illinois", contradicts itself. A "single campus" college that has a "main campus"? Quatloo (talk) 13:36, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

COD does have satellite locations.[1] The website calls them "off-campus locations." It could be that the writer was trying to say the COD has the highest number of students at a single campus. — goethean ॐ 16:30, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
Since it has both a main campus and a self-described "Naperville Frontier Campus", it is safe to say that it is not a single campus college. Quatloo (talk) 18:42, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

The fix for "The College of DuPage, or COD," now reads, "College of DuPage (commonly known as College of DuPage)" is idiotic.

While I have no opinion on the current COD news matters

...it is clear that to claim that a matter is a controversy, there must be a source, and so, verifiability. There are some issues in the article, in this regard, and I will edit them now. Please do not revert without supplying sources—news matters about living persons are still BLP issues, even if they appear in articles other than the formal biography. Make no claims here that cannot be substantiated by solid sources. I will paste the removed text here, to make it easier to return, once sources are found. Le Prof 71.239.87.100 (talk) 01:32, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Here is the text removed

…for lack of sourcing, and other referencing/WP policy issues.

The following section is unsourced, either as a matter of controversy, or for the factual content it contains:

  • Intended purpose vs. actual use
The restaurant’s stated purpose is to train aspiring chefs and restaurant managers enrolled COD’s Culinary and Hospitality Management program. However, few students work in the restaurant; it has its own professional chefs, sous chefs, servers and managers.
Students enrolled in the program typically work and learn in another restaurant owned by COD called the Wheat Café.

The following sections are unacceptable because they constitute OR, as they contain material extracted by editor research that is therefore unverifiable (without another editor reproducing the extraction of data and sums), so, as stated below, a published source reporting such information must be found; as well it is improperly sourced (see WP policies regarding suitable sourcing for current events subjects, where unpublished, partisan web material is generally unacceptable):

  • Breuder's house account
As part of his compensation package, President Breuder enjoys a house account (#10) at Waterleaf. From October 2, 2013 through September 25, 2014, Breuder charged over $23,000 at 59 lunches and dinners (including $5,488 in wine and liquor) to account #10.[1]
  • In December 2013, checks totaling over $2,300 were signed for steaks for the senior management team, whose Christmas party cost an additional $3,500. The Board of Trustees Christmas dinner was $2,300 and another board retreat came in at over $1,000.00.[1]

The following sentence constitute OR, as it was determined by editor research, and is therefore unverifiable; a source stating this must be found:

  • One example of a gourmet meal that a patron can purchase at the restaurant: filet with potato croquettes, pea puree, au poivre sauce ($38); a bottle of 2009 Lewis Cellars Cabernet Savignon, Reserve, Napa Valley, California ($230).[2]

Partial revert to "Revision as of 16:00, 11 February 2015"

Made Partial revert to edits made by new user Malcolmxian. User’s account has been active only 8 days. User has made total of 3 edits, all of them have been on College of DuPage article. The revision on 16:00 11 Feb 2015 deleted three entire sections of the article, all of which have been up on the article for over a month. In fact I noticed that there was current attempts by other editors to improve the section via inline cleanup tags. Deletion seems inappropriate. Assuming good faith. As much, reverting the deleted content. --BiH (talk) 16:37, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

More uniformity needed in coverage

I will try to edit this soon but there seems to be an uneven amount of breadth of coverage comparing the controversy section to the facilities, and student life sections especially. There is an entire student life section on the college website we could use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KhialKoziol (talk • contribs) 13:45, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
