[edit] Chancellor update

Hi to the person who just updated the Chancellor info,

Not to quibble, but Keith Motley does not take the Chancellor's position until June 21, 2007, when he is expected to be approved by the UMass Board of Trustees. Until that time, Michael Collins is still chancellor. For instance, at graduation on June 1 '07, Dr. Collins was still presiding as chancellor. I will revert the page, but it's still good to see someone else who cares about UMass Boston here.Nam1123 20:57, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:UMass-Boston-logo.png

Image:UMass-Boston-logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:33, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion

Wow... this article definitely merits some expansion. Wasn't there a fairly recent decision to start the first residence halls on campus recently? Anyone have sources? Also there's no discussion here about the "commuter school" label this campus usually gets - is that notable? -Midnightdreary 00:01, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey, nice job adding the section headers! Looks good. Some of the stuff in history I feel should be parceled out to a location section or something, but not sure what should be moved yet. Residence halls have been in discussion here for years, but we've only started serious talk about them again recently. I'll try to help out and add more sourced info to this page as the summer goes on. I'm an undergrad here, btw. Nam1123 20:57, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

With any luck, the section headers might encourage some expansion on those specific topics. That's some interesting info about the res halls - I'd love to see more in this article, if anyone has the sources! -Midnightdreary 03:24, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dana White

He may be a famous UMB atendee, but he never graduated, which is confirmed in his personal page. I took him off the alumni list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.67.121.199 (talk) 07:01, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
