Proposal for page move to King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals what is the ranking of this university

• Response: Among other Saudi universities and colleges? The absolute first as it is the only university in the country that can be considered a research university among the 10+ Saudi "universities." Among universities in the middle east? I couldn't find any ranking for Middle Eastern universities, but it is definitely in the very top. (personal opinion: having had connections with some UPM graduates and the university itseld, I would place it #1 among all Arab unversities) Eagle 17:27, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)

About the section on the terrorist incident:

• As a resident of KFUPM for the past 20 years I can recall no such incident ever occurring during my stay here. Nor can I find any source on the internet confirming these events (All other references to this event seem to be copy-paste jobs done from wikipedia). I suggest the removal of this section given that there is no evidence to prove it. 202.63.226.46 19:15, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Endowment is not budget !

Financial endowment From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search A financial endowment is a transfer of money or property donated to an institution, with the stipulation that it be invested, and the principal remain intact. This allows for the donation to have a much greater impact than if it were spent all at once.
