"Enviable reputation" quirk removed as POV- in reality, one might well be right to believe the contrary. Notuxorious 20:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Removed "well-known [sic] locally" quirk- POV. Notuxorious 20:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Removed POV reference to "controversy" over the university's "private" status. Notuxorious 05:19, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "convicted felon"

The status of Alan Bond is clearly stated in "It was founded in 1987 by Australian businessman Alan Bond, who later served time in jail for fraud,...". It is repetition to say "It is the only university to be named after a convicted felon" and a direct assault on the present day reputation of the university. --WikiCats 12:56, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Detailed information about Alan Bond should be placed on page Alan Bond (businessman). --WikiCats 13:45, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

what does it mean by 'the only university'? the only uni in the world? in Australia? or?

Comment Australia does not have "felonies" or "misdemeanours", we have "crimes". Even if he was convicted (yes, he was, we get it), the statement is incorrect. SM247^{My Talk} 22:03, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

In light of the above, and the fact that he had not been convicted of anything as of 1987 when the university was founded, I've removed the label. --202.63.55.96 12:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
