This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.
The article is generally quite good. There are certain issues, like the structure of the "Colleges and school" section being a bit too listy. Other things are recommendable, like the use of prose form instead of lists in e.g. "Notable people".
The main problem is with link rot. This comes primarily from an apparent reorganisation of the university web site last year, which left several links dead. There were originally 25 dead links. I've reworked it as well as I could, and managed to get the number down to 8, but this is still too much, and I can't guarantee for the accuracy of the new links (see here for details). At the moment the article just doesn't seem to satisfy WP:V, and as much as I would like not to, I will have to delist it if something serious is not done about this problem.

- Fortunately User:PGPirate did a great job at replacing the dead links, so I'm now happy to keep this as a GA. Lampman (talk) 21:24, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
