[edit] Native Americans

Is there a source that can substantiate the claim that the school has graduated more Native Americans than any other? -Harmil 23:18, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

I haven't found anything conclusive one way or another yet - but I was able to find Accreditation Self-Study Report from the Summer of 2005 by OSU. However, it's a draft and says: "More Native American Degrees: OSU grants more graduate degrees to Native American students than any institution in the nation. (Not exactly correct—needs adjustment)". [1] I'll look a bit more into it later. Ash Lux 17:53, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Awards and distinctions

The awards and distinctions section is currently one large, hard to digest paragraph. It should probably be split into many (logical) smaller paragraphs and wikify'd. jareha 20:37, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Master Plan

Why is there no mention or criticism of the controversial Master Plan, which involves large expansion of the university, that has received SO MUCH attention in the past few months? --Jibran1 17:20, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I haven't heard anything about it. If you can add info about it, please do.--Nmajdan 13:00, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Main Picture

The current main picture on this article is of the OSU System seal... The University has a different and distinct logo for the Stillwater campus, which can be found on the website of the Unversity's Marketing department. It would be appropriate to change the logo to the image that appears here: http://universitymarketing.okstate.edu/styleguide/resources/primary_OSU.jpg 68.13.236.96 22:27, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
