New Logo

BİLGİ changed its logo, the logo on wiki page should be changed, too. University's PR office sent the high resolution logo to me, but Wikipedia don't give access to me for uploading it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kutsalmustafa (talk • contribs) 21:07, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

new administration

It seems the university was "purchased" by an American company/organization and numerous policies have changed :

GPA requirements for scholarships have gone up attempting to force more students off scholarships,
Previously permanent faculty have been moved to part-time adjunct positions, and
These new part-time adjunct faculty are now payed hourly and no longer receive health benefits.

I'm sure there are far deeper changes but you may need university students or faculty to document them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.190.133.158 (talk) 12:31, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
