I'm going to remove the image as it's messing up the article, and it has no copyright information. Image:New Building david.jpg --Randolph 01:57, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I have no idea where to find the Ontario University template to edit it to include this information, so I'll be leaving that to someone else. --Randolph 02:22, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Because it's a subunit of the University of Guelph, it doesn't belong on the Ontario University template. I put it in the University of Guelph category. --Spinboy 03:51, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Although Guelph-Humber brings in curriculum from University of Guelph and Humber College, it is still a separate institution with its own staff, faculty, administration, and most importantly, its students. Students study explicitly at the University of Guelph-Humber, not at Guelph or Humber, so I will re-create the article with non-copyrighted information. A. Schwabe 18:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Really? Who is it's Chancellor? President? Ardenn 18:19, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Same as Guelph, Summerlee and Alexander. Convocation for the first graduating class was held yesterday. I'm fairly certain the original copyright-violating page was put up by a member of the admin without following the proper procedures, but either way, the school warrants more information than marketing schtick anyway. A. Schwabe 18:25, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

So it's a college of Guelph. That's fine. Just make sure you don't make it out to be it's own institution, because it's not. It's part of Guelph. Ardenn 18:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

That's exactly what I'm making it out to be. You could make the same argument saying it's a "university of Humber" -- doesn't make any sense. Students graduate with an honours degree from the University of Guelph and a diploma from Humber College. The school is in its own building, self-contained, and faculty from both Guelph and Humber teach there. I'm tempted to say that Wikipedia needs a new category for hybrid University-College schools, such as this. It is exactly the same kind of model as UOIT, which happens to have its own page. UOIT is a joint operation between Trent University and Durham College. A. Schwabe 18:31, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I've created a stub at University of Guelph-Humber/Temp. To counter your argument, UOIT awards its own degrees. U Guelph-Humber does not. UOIT is incorporated by the Ontario Government, weather or not it is ia joint operation. U Guelph-Humber is an academic campus. UOIT has it's own Chancellor and President, seperate from Trent and Durham. Ardenn 18:34, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

At the end of the day, if the degree you get says "University of Guelph" on it, it's an academic campus of U Guelph. If it says "U Guelph-Humber" then I may reconsider. However, it is not a "University of Humber" and has no such degree-granting powers. Ardenn 18:36, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I could be wrong about UOIT. If you can show me something that says the degrees they award say "Trent University" on them, I'll go to bat and have it say it's an academic campus of Trent. However, so far the evidence is contrary to that. Ardenn 18:38, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Seems to me it's affiliated with both Guelph and Humber. Students receive a university degree from Guelph and a college degree from Humber. -- Usgnus 19:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I couldn't agree more. I had forgotten about Humber. My bad. Ardenn 19:24, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I've updated the temp article (University of Guelph-Humber/Temp) based on the discussion here and what I've been able to get from the school's website. I think I've hopefully described it right, but if not, feel free to change things. --Gpollock 00:57, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Copyvio

I came across this text in this article:

The University of Guelph-Humber is a partnership between the University of Guelph and Humber College. Its aim is to combine the academic tradition of the University of Guelph and the professional, training excellence of Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning by enabling students to earn a university honours degree and a college diploma after four years of full-time study.

Due to the blatant university boosterism, I had hunch and looked up the text on Google, and found that the bulk of the article is an almost direct copyvio. From this site:

The University of Guelph-Humber combines the rich academic tradition of the University of Guelph and the professional, training excellence of Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning by enabling students to earn a university honours degree and a college diploma after four years of full-time study.

I do not believe the article should be deleted, because it is a useful subject, but, in accordance with Wikipedia's Copyright problems policy, the page has been blanked.

Also, similar text appears in the University of Guelph article. I have added this comment, and the copyvio notice there too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gpollock (talk • contribs)
