No mention of the frequent attacks against students in the surrounding neighborhoods, nor the emptying of the university in '68 after the death of King.

Then mention it. Be bold. siafu 21:35, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

What happened to the campus image? Can someone add a new one again?

Any concrete percentages of the diversity? Just curious...

Yes: These are just undergraduate numbers: 2005: Total 15448 Native American 34 0.2% African American 1,377 8.9% Asian American 3,849 24.9% Hispanic 2,513 16.3% Caucasian 6,647 43.0% International 174 1.1% Unknown 854 5.5%

The links for 'notable faculty' should go to their UIC faculty page (obtained by using the search box on www.uic.edu), instead of nowhere or to nonexistent wkipedia pages. The original author probably best knows why he/she selected these faculty and is probably best qualified for ensuring the links are correct and most appropriate.

Not sure that the Student Recreation Facility entry makes sense organizationally. Should it be a subheading under student life?

Student recreation is almost always related to student life, not organized athletics. Since this is the case, and there's no student life section on the page, the campus section seemed most appropriate. If this is not the case at UIC, please provide evidence documenting the situation. thx. --Ntmg05 04:22, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

It looks like several sections of this article, including the entire "Notable UIC People" section, were removed without discussion. I was wondering why; it all seemed like perfectly relevant and useful information. Most of the changes occurred after a user from IP address 144.216.3.81 vandalized the article with spam. Perhaps the sections were removed by accident during cleanup? Ngrusz1 00:45, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I tried to recover the people, but my html skills are not up to par and the information wasn't bulletted or anything anymore so I didn't save. I agree that the information was completely relevant. Someone more sophisticated should put it back in!
My guess is that the list was removed because it was very long. Most other university pages with a significant list of notable people place that list in a separate Wikipedia article and then link from/back to the main university page. See NYU as an example. I'll do that eventually if no one volunteers to do so first. It is good information and should be present somewhere. --Ntmg05 04:22, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
