A drawback of SVU is its lack of classroom resources and meal choices. There is one cafeteria and one classroom building, with insufficient lab space, as well as having a library that is ill equipped to serve its students.

I did some research and identified some facts that could be interpretted as being ill-equiped to serve its students and rewrote as:

A drawback of SVU is its lack of classroom resources and meal choices.[citation needed] There is one cafeteria and one classroom building, and limited lab space,[citation needed] as well as having a library with inadequate space - needing to house 100,000 of its volumes off-campus.

Basically we need to verify that there is a lack of classroom resources and meal choices - and, unfortunately, I attend there and I can see it, is considered original research (same with one building and limited lab space). I did find that there was a reference on needing to house library books off campus so I included that.

So the neutrality policy indicates we should report the facts and then let the reader make the conclusion that housing 100,000 volumes of campus = "being ill-equiped to serve its students." OTOH, if there is a respected and verifiable source that said that - like a newspaper aticle about a report from the accredidation committee (or the accredidation committee report itself) - then we could include that comment and quote it if necessary.

Please help me find newspaper articles, or other references for the facts that have the little [citation needed] notation - if you just give me the URL - or leave the url on the talk page and I'll do the work to get them added into the article. We especially need to find one on the issue of the unreported rape and the other criticisms - as without verifiable information the text their could be justifiably deleted at any time.

Let me know if you have any other questions. --Trödel 13:37, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
