[edit] Problems

I have deleted unencyclopedic text that constitutes both boosterism and self-promotion which made the article read more like a prospectus than an encyclopedia article. I have also tagged some unreferenced assertions. I am particularly concerned about the "Beginnings" section, because there is no reference whatsoever for the alleged history. This is compounded by this statement: "He followed, in particular, the MBA-JD dual degree program offered by Princeton University Graduate School of Business in New Jersey, and Columbia University Law School in New York." Princeton University does not offer business programs, much less MBAs. That statement is either an outright lie, or badly researched. I am removing it within the next 48 hours.Rmcsamson 22:41, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Princeton does not have a JD or an MBA. But it offers an MPA. Princeton MPA partnered with Columbia Law to offer a joint MPA-JD. La Salle, like Princeton, does not have a Law program. So it partnered with FEU to offer a joint MBA-JD. Simple logic. And that's what Deans Juico and Bautista said in national dailies, law classes, and orientation programs.

Congratulations for a good job as Wikipedia editor. I hope you can write new articles or expand existing ones. You can really CONTRIBUTE by ADDING new information, not just editing and maligning (or at least making accusations of being a liar) Wikipedians with sincere and actual efforts to contribute to Wikipedia.

Please leave notes in a COURTEOUS manner. As a fellow Wikipedian, I see no reason why you failed to accord me the slightest respect in your language. I may not have written perfect articles, but I will never make strong accusations, conceited statements, or offensive remarks.

With much respect and hopeful that you'd change your ways...Miketedting 14:20, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

The article is clear in stating "the MBA-JD dual degree program offered by Princeton University Graduate School of Business in New Jersey, and Columbia University Law School in New York," which does not exist. An MBA is radically different from an MBA. Since there are claims that particular statements were made in "national dalies," perhaps the dailies can be cited in particular? In which case, that entire statement must and will be struck down. Also, there are numerous references which are said to be "interviews." The references are unclear as to whether or not they are interviews made by Miketedting. If they are, then they are in clear violation of WP:NOT#OR. I also have no idea what degree of courtesy is required. I have no sympathy for false statements, or those which are placed indiscriminately.Rmcsamson 15:35, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
