After having conducted a source review, I have decided to quick-fail this GAN. There are various cases of copy-pasting in the article, and as such it fails to meet the very first criterion of the GA criteria. Here are some examples:

"The organizing committee for the International Conference on Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation, held in Portland, Oregon from 12–13 April 2013,...on the Industrial Engineering program offered by the College of Engineering at the University of Sharjah." vs "The organizing committee for the International Conference on Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation, to be held in Portland, Oregon from 12-13th April 2013,...on the Industrial Engineering program offered by the College of Engineering at the University of Sharjah."
The first paragraph under "Academics" is sourced from [1], almost word for word.
The sentence "The dormitory supervisors are required to prepare the annual plan for the dorms,... acquaint students with the dorm rules, regulations and other responsibilities, " has been copy-pasted from [2]. --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 23:43, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
