The University of Bridgeport was recently named the worst university in America [1]. This was from a very reputable source, too. I propose that this be added to the article. TheFix63 ( talk) 00:22, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
The link by the title "Cultiversity of Bridgeport" at the bottom of the page has good information in it with a Point of View that is not reflected in the main article. Yours in good faith, sincerely, GeorgeLouis 05:39, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
I pruned this article of external links that I thought did not fit WP:EL . Toads99 16:30, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Since the University smells fishy and the article is far too much like a school web page, I feel that an alternative voice such as http://www.theness.com/articles.asp?id=60 needs to be included. -- WiseWoman ( talk) 12:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
This passage is illiterate and pretty much incomprehensible: "The safety in the university of Bridgeport, stands as one of the best, as all university that are in highly populated city, such as Yale and Harvard, it is not uncommon to see mugging and robberies for students treading off campus without taking precautions. The security is one of the most active on campus, with a sophisticated "PAD" system that can locate a student anywhere on campus quickly." Anyone have any idea what this means? Can someone with knowledge of the college please change this? 74.72.216.115 00:12, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
A friend of mine told me that this place is not as great as it appears and sounds. I got an admission into it, but I ended up in UCONN and I am happy. I dont want to die(Yeah, I am talking about the safety issue that people were talking about)- We hear a lot of shootings around this place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.248.133.180 ( talk) 02:36, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Is this school run by the "Moonies". I have heard they have contributed a sizable amount of money. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.177.237.17 ( talk) 01:53, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Steve Dufour, I simply can't see how you can say that there is only a "very slight justification for this info box" implicit in the content of the article. A whole section is devoted to the affiliation through the bailout by Sun Myung Moon's PWPA and the Unification Church, and this is such a noteworthy event that not only is this section well-justified, but it is certainly appropriate that it also be mentioned in the introduction (which it is). The university has been under the control of Sun Myung Moon's supporters for over a decade. This is a significant and noteworthy fact for most readers. - Exucmember ( talk) 02:35, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
I took off the category: "Entities which received funding from the Unification Church". I don't think the University is defined by this fact. You might as well say it receives funding from the federal government, or the students. Steve Dufour ( talk) 13:39, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, ExUC. I see you made a good edit here. We don't want any guessing. -- Uncle Ed ( talk) 18:54, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Exucmember, it is stated that there are objective criteria used for this ranking here [2]. These are unnecessary though, as rankings do not need to be objective (see [3]). I'm not sure why you regard this as a pseudo ranking. 174.19.7.101 ( talk) 01:15, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Also, what is the policy on sources? Does Wikipedia as an encyclopedia need to use objective rankings, or can we just add any source that reflects our own ideas? -- Uncle Ed ( talk) 15:44, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Because you've been here since 2001, Ed Poor, I'm sure you know Wikipedia's policies by now. I'll take it on good faith that you didn't mean to patronize me, and also that you only unintentionally vandalized my edits. Furthermore, I have no personal stake in UB or the Unification Church, and my "own ideas" are entirely the ideas of the sources I can find (and there are precious few that are not from the university itself). 174.19.7.101 ( talk) 06:43, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I changed this vicious and opinion based statement "Since then, the University of Bridgeport has heavily and aggressively recruited international students, largely unaware of university's past, its academic standing, its close connection with the Unification Church, or the city of Bridgeport itself" to this "Since then, the University of Bridgeport has attempted to recruit more international students, in an effort to boost enrollment numbers." since that more accurately reflects the New York Times article, which does not mention "heavy and aggreessive" recruitment tactics. Also, the article says 'some' students were not aware of the connection, which the now edited sentence claimed 'largely unaware'. This type of a negative twist on an already slanted New York Times article is rampant throughout the article. Will work to clean it up a bit. -Ely Loew —Preceding unsigned comment added by Loew01 ( talk • contribs) 14:10, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
I was tempted to take out the entire last paragraph of the PWPA and Sun Myung Moon section. However, I changed as little as possible. The first sentence: "With the takeover of the university by the Unification Church imminent, some faculty and the entire law school decided to cut ties with the University." was not based on the Times article that was referenced. The strike started before the PWPA took over the university, and the article never specified if the disgruntled faculty left because of the PWPA or because of the conditions which made them strike in the first place. Likewise, as was even mentioned earlier in the article, the law school was in discussions with Quinnipiac University before the PWPA ever got involved. For this reason, I also deleted this sentence: "In a similar move, the law school decided that Rev. Moon was an unworthy associate and severed any legal relations with the University." There are other changes to be made in this paragraph, because it is badly written, but don't have the time now. -Ely Loew —Preceding unsigned comment added by Loew01 ( talk • contribs) 14:29, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
I erased this section: "Unification Church's presence is also strong on the campus, with reports that students are "unduly pressured" and "constantly approached by students who are members of the church" about attending "mass weddings and other church functions". [1] [2] Other students were harassed when criticizing the Church or the PWPA. [3]" The quoted section is the quote of one student, not an official report that came to that conclusion, which is how it is presented. Also, only one student claimed to be harassed for criticizing the Church and the PWPA. Lastly, all these New York Times articles are at least over 12 years old, therefore they are a bit out of date. Also, even the Times articles convey a positive aspect to the PWPA take over, something the writer of this article conveniently ignores. Something about the impressive backgrounds of the Trustee members of the PWPA would be informative. -Ely Loew —Preceding unsigned comment added by Loew01 ( talk • contribs) 14:52, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Changed "while others expressed the desire to exit the school as soon as possible." to "while others seemed to worry about the consequences of having a unpopular religious organization influencing the decisions of the University". I think this more accurately reflects the article and is more neutral in tone. -- Loew01 ( talk) 15:23, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Addressing your comments in reverse order, the students don't "seem to worry", they did worry, and they expressed that they wanted to leave. The article doesn't address the UC as "unpopular" either.
You should not remove large pieces of the article without creating an edit summary. Deleting sourced material without explanation is vandalism. Report has more than one meaning in the English language. Here, several, not one (see all sources) students reported that they were being hassled to the NYT, one for criticism and two others after they were approached by UC members several times. It does not give the impression of an official report, but you can change it to clarify if you'd like, instead of deleting the entire section. As for the age of the articles, it's unfortunate that UB doesn't generate a lot of coverage and there is a dearth of source material. But this section is called "After the takeover" and those sources were all from after the takeover. The times articles contain positive info indeed, such as increasing enrollment and the revival of programs. These have been addressed. If you'd like you can add more, but don't delete the negative because you disagree with it. Limited information about the "impressive backgrounds of trustees" belongs here. They belong in the articles about that specific trustee if any, but they aren't notable enough to warrant inclusion in an article about the school. Many school pages don't even list the trustees.
The law school and faculty did indeed strike before the PWPA got involved. That's in the history section before. However, the faculty and law school were unhappy with UB because of its financial difficulties. After being restored to financial health by the PWPA, some faculty decide NOT to end the strike because they didn't want to associate with the UC. The law school also still decided to move, even though its original reason for moving was the financial difficulties. They were specifically worried about losing their accreditation from the ABA, and as you can see by the difficulty of the UB in gaining accreditation post-Moon (yet with money), they left precisely because of the conflict of interest they saw with the PWPA and UB and because they probably would have lose their accreditation with the ABA. Please see ALL the sources, as well as the Quinnipiac University School of Law article.
As for the intro, if you'd like to clean up the language, that's fine, but work with what's there. I think you need to closely read the sources given, as well try not to let your sympathies with either the school or the UC cloud your judgement. Largely in this case, modifies what the students know, rather than the number of international students. The students in the articles didn't know about the UC and the UB, or its past financial troubles, or its problems with accreditation. 174.19.4.162 ( talk) 00:32, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Asking me to not let my sympathies to UB or UC cloud my judgment is completely hypocritical, considering that this article is clearly written to slander the UC and UB. Again, my edits were fully in line with the actual sources. My edits didn't even change the general meaning, just the tone. In fact, my edits made the tone more neutral. Unfortunately, the NYT was also biased in their coverage, considering that they included three random students opinions. To say that the article is written according to 'sources' is just a cover up to a real agenda.
I don't condone 'hiding' the connection between UB, PWPA, and the UC. However, this entire article is agenda ridden, which is why it's quality standard is pretty low. I suggest you also ask yourself if you're making these edits to provide a true objective opinion, or if you have an ax to grind. -- Loew01 ( talk) 23:17, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
"Largely in this case, modifies what the students know, rather than the number of international students. The students in the articles didn't know about the UC and the UB, or its past financial troubles, or its problems with accreditation." In context, largely comes off as if a majority or at least a large minority is unaware of the situation. The cited source is not enough to make this kind of inference. This is purely an assumption by the article editor. Also, I read the NYT article about the Law School. Here is what the article actually says "The law school seceded from the University of Bridgeport last winter and affiliated with Quinnipiac, a liberal arts college in Hamden, because the law faculty opposed a merger being discussed between the financially troubled university and Sacred Heart University in Fairfield." Compare this to what the Wiki Article claims is the reason: "In a similar move, the law school decided that Rev. Moon was an unworthy associate and severed any legal relations with the University. In order for the law school to remain open it had to merge with a financially-sound university." The NYT article CLEARLY states the reason as being UB's financial trouble and the failure of the merger with Sacred Heart. The wiki article creates its own reasons. Can you seriously claim objectivity with this kind of blatant mis-referencing?-- Loew01 ( talk) 23:36, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
"The law school had begun searching for a home in October 1991, when the university had considered an offer of aid from the Professors World Peace Academy, an institute financed by the Unification Church." 174.19.4.162 ( talk) 00:15, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
I'm an alumni and was checking up on this page in Wiki and I find it kind of offensive that someone who has issues with this church is on a crusade to bash this Sun Moon leader through this university page. (there are pages for that) I would suggest (want) more information related to the university. Almost half of the history in this page if not more is dedicated to this church. I know this guy is controversial, hell maybe crazy but theres pages for that on wiki. If this page were "objective" I would have seen less church controversy and more university related facts such as:
I agree that they shouldn't hide (if they are) their identity, but does this have to be the centerpiece? I would hope someone who works for the Bridgeport University is checking up on this page and would add more "important" information. Sorry to say, I feel he or she isn't doing a great job on putting useful information on this page.
I'm guessing there are more important things for me to be upset about but coming across this page I couldn't help but get upset. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dc10652 ( talk • contribs) 12:46, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
I just took off:
The wording just wasn't supported by the source and it's also a potential BLP problem if you say groups of people mistrust each other. Steve Dufour ( talk) 04:08, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
There has been a swath of recent vandalism on the page, and it should be locked. It seems that this is intentional and coordinated. I tried to revert the specific vandalism, but I eventually had to revert it to the edit by Masonpatriot, 05:25, 11 August 2009. 72.221.118.114 ( talk) 02:55, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
The following was added to the article as an example of the Unification Church's "influence on the school":
I can't see how this can be considered "influence" except in a very partisan, biased manner not appropriate for an encyclopedia. - Exucmember ( talk) 07:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
The following statements were apparently selectively cherry-picked from references and do not represent the general feel of the cited articles:
The point of an encyclopedia is not to comb references in order to cherry-pick only the most critical passages in order to support an editor's particular views. - Exucmember ( talk) 08:01, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
The following passage gives the concluding remark to an apparent extreme critic, and while mentioning the existence of a contrary opinion, does not name the author or quote from it. It also ignores all the references in the cited articles to the many professors who decided to take a wait and see approach, or to those who are quoted as having said they don't see the influence in day-to-day affairs. The recent additions do not at all fairly represent the references cited.
Should an inflammatory opinion with no explanation to back it up go in an encyclopedia? Also, the link is broken. - Exucmember ( talk) 08:11, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2006/0609.national.html rates UB as 148 out of 245. It seems it's neither in the top 20% nor the bottom 20%.
Should this go in the article? Or just be left on the talk page as a rebuttal to contributors trying to trash the school's reputation? -- Uncle Ed ( talk) 19:04, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
US News & World Report calls it a "Tier 4" national university, with no religious affiliation. I think that should go in the article. -- Uncle Ed ( talk) 19:07, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm still not sure if Radar Magazine counts as a reliable source. If they were only a blog, I would say no. If they were a print magazine with wide circulation (like Newsweek) I'd certainly say yes.
All I've seen is a blog posting at Edu something, which in turn cites Radar Magazine as a source for a one-sentence (or one phrase) evaluation. Rather than edit war about it (even in slow motion), I think we need to come to a consensus here, based on some sort of standard. In fact, I would even hope that the main criterion for accepting a source which evaluates universities, is that they apply a transparent standard.
Is Radar Magazine reporting the results of a poll, or applying a formula, or what? -- Uncle Ed ( talk) 02:07, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
Let's not delete the references to the infusion of cash the university got several years ago from the Unification Movement. I might not have all the secondary sources at my fingertips, but I do recall that one of Rev. Moon's organizations supplied between $50 million and $200 million, in return for the (temporary?) right to nominate a majority of the board of directors. -- Uncle Ed ( talk) 16:42, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
I do not want any unsourced material to be returned to the article. What I do want, is that material which was deleted on the grounds that was unsourced should (1) be properly sourced and (2) then put back in the article in that order.
Here are some sources:
Cirt and KC, do you see the difference between "return unsourced material" and "get the sources first and THEN put the properly sourced material back"? -- Uncle Ed ( talk) 17:07, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
In the section above, I said:
Here is a New York Times article which touches on this. Would someone please tell me if this is a proper source?
I have provided 3 sources. If no one objects, I intend to add the sourced information into the article. -- Uncle Ed ( talk) 19:07, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Ed, your recent edits indicate that you did not thoroughly read the cited article.
From the NY Times article:
1. The lawyers advised the trustees that they had an obligation to enter into negotiations. The trustee president called it "a tragedy". Sounds like they were forced by the charter to enter into negotiations instead of letting the school dissolve.
2. From the article: "In many ways Mr. Perez reflects the changing student body here. After years of declining enrollment, the university is making a concerted effort to recruit students from around the globe, said Edwin G. Eigel Jr., the university's president."
and later on,
"Some international students said they had never heard of the Unification Church when they were recruited by the university to attend the school on full scholarship. Others said they almost did not come because of it."
Speaks for itself.
3. 25% international students is unusually high relative to other schools. The article only implicitly implies this, so I've removed "unusually".
Please be more careful in the future. Gunshippolitico ( talk) 00:27, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
Editors may wish to be aware of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/UB Alumni. Cheers, Cirt ( talk) 03:06, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
The editors of this page are clearly vandalizing and defaming the university. The only sources are from sensational articles written a decade ago. Why don't these people who write so much about Rev. Moon, instead actually write something relevant about the university. Can't anyone else see the terrible bias? I attended the university for years and had nothing to do with this the whole time. Have any of these "editors" been to the university in the last 10 years? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.44.30.227 ( talk) 18:59, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
The article is sourced with material from reliable sources such as The New York Times. This is clearly the opposite of vandalism. I don't think attending the university is a prerequisite for editing this page. Gunshippolitico ( talk) 01:34, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
I have watched this article for a while. Can't wikipedia stop these people from defaming UB?
Editors like Gunshot delete whole sections about sports, academic programs, pictures, buildings, recent accomplishments. Anything that is not about the UC. When anybody edits your stuff, you cry "vandalism." And 17 year old newspaper articles are old sources.
There are plenty of recent newspaper articles in the Connecticut Post about double digit enrollment growth, campus revitalization and social services they offer to the community. If these editors care so much about the university and students, why don't they write about that?
Anyone that has attended UB in the past decade knows that this article is completely unrepresentative of the university. Why don't you make your own article just about UB and PWPA? In that way, people specifically searching for that info can find it, and it will minimize the harm done to UB? Unless your agenda is to maximize harm ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.2.90.51 ( talk) 16:52, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
One cannot base the present on an article that is 17 years old and remove the most updates with sources based on no research other than a 17 year old newspaper article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Staffordshire ( talk • contribs) 03:23, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
Gunship's "reliable sources" are three 17 year old articles from the New York Times. He uses them to explain the present. This is vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Staffordshire ( talk • contribs) 01:05, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
I've made some minor improvements, but the section "PWPA and Sun Myung Moon," which was greatly expanded by a single editor, seems too long. Editors above have complained that recent information, including material about sports, academic programs, pictures, buildings, recent accomplishments, enrollment growth, campus revitalization, and social services, has been deleted or is missing. Editors should feel free to add well-sourced information that genuinely improves the article. - Exucmember ( talk) 08:35, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
The following important information was deleted from the article:

The following was already a part of the Talk page discussion, but was archived:
Here is the definition of reliable sources from WP:RS:
All anyone has to do is read that article to see clearly that it was written for entertainment and shock value, that there was no serious objective truth-seeking involved, no scientific polling or evaluation, and that there were no authoritative researchers involved.

Recently I commented:
In some cases valuable, sourced information may be able to be retrieved from the article's history. Also, I didn't see anything in the history section of the article from the last 10 years. An encyclopedia should have a more comprehensive article than this about a university! Someone? - Exucmember ( talk) 07:36, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
After looking at the the article's history, I didn't find much that could be salvaged. And I discovered that the complaint about COI came from an apparently neutral editor, not, as I'd assumed, from the opposing partisan editor who added such a large amount of overly detailed material. The burden is on those who want to see more "normal" information about the university to find reliable sources. - Exucmember ( talk) 08:58, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
The accreditation section is not well sourced. The only reference is a 1992 The New York Times article. The section however claims “The University gained full accreditation in 2004 after periods on probationary status”. This claim is unsubstantiated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Webhelix ( talk • contribs) 18:20, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
The increase cited in 2008 is supported by a 1993 New York Times article referring to 1992 recruitment. The citation is improperly applied, and also factually wrong for the period it is supposed to document (expansion in the last 15 years has been due to other factors). Gordonpwpa ( talk) 18:01, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
To cite repeatedly a single article from 1993 as the basis for demonstrating a trend fails to meet the Wikipedia standard of verifiability.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of University of Bridgeport's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
