this article has a frighteningly pro-CIIS undertone; it does not seem to conform to the neutral POV criterion.

Yes, I believe the culprit is Psykhosis, who apparently works for the school. Notice how the previous discussion has been "archived" (effectively, deleted so people won't see criticisms of the school). It's a basic problem with Wikipedia--in the case of an obscure topic, where there's not a lot of neutral people around to keep things honest, how can we prevent "believers" with lots of time on their hands, from controlling the content?

Ooo..."culprit"! I like that! And a "believer" no less! I'm so devious and unscrupulous! Mwuhahaha! For the record, however, I am not an employee of CIIS. Not a very good way to step in, there; however I will assume good faith and guess that your offensive language is an unintended and well-meaning faux pas rather than an intentional insult. Despite my sinister attempt to control the content of this article, you do actually have the ability to make edits. If you choose to do so, perhaps you might consider being more polite.

Update: despite your rudeness, you are right in that some POV language was certainly there. I took out some of the more obvious cases. Psykhosis 00:14, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User box

For any students of CIIS, there is a userbox. Just add {{User ciis}} to your user page. This will produce the following userbox:
