[edit] Years

"During the past 14 years" is a dangerous phrase to use, as it quickly becomes outdated. It would be better to state the actual years, if known. --Jsnow 01:51, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Quakers & cut & pasting

Since we're copying directly from the "About" page of GFU's official web site, I went ahead and added "by Quaker pioneers" back in. Kind of weird to be missing in the first place, since the rest of the article is word for word (there's no indication that it's copyrighted material). I'll probably come back soon and revamp the whole article, but if enough people care, let's discuss it.--Bltpdx 10:15, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism

Where is the criticism of its theology and incongruity with modern science? Where are the criticisms of its overwhelming conservative political stances without progressive amelioration? It should be at least noted.

[edit] Student Newspaper

Is there a student newspaper? If so, it could go here: [1].--DerRichter (talk) 23:15, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

There is a student newspaper called The Crescent. I'll add it to that list, thanks! Pcrackenhead (talk) 21:53, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Christian university"

This term implies an evangelical school, I think - that is to say, not simply a university affiliated with a Christian denomination, but a "Christian university" as opposed to a "secular university". Schools associated with mainline protestant groups like the Quakers should probably avoid such phrasing (as should Catholic schools). john k (talk) 22:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
