According to http://www.uu.nl/uupublish/homeuu/faculteiten/188main.html, the departments of Theology, Arts and Philosophy are not called faculties. It's a recent change though, so it hasn't been corrected on the deparment homepages yet (see e.g. the homepages uf the departments of Pharmacology or physics, which are also still called "facInsert non-formatted text hereulteit", even though they are definitely deparmtents now). This article from the Ublad explains more: http://www.ublad.uu.nl/WebObjects/UOL.woa/3/wa/Nieuws/archief?id=1021917. So, it should be the "department" of Theology, Arts and Philosophy, but "schools" would also be allowed. ....Baszoetekouw 22:06, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Game Maker

Maybe Mark Overmars and his program Game Maker (www.gamemaker.nl) should be mentioned on this page? Just a thought. --Anonymous, 8/18/2006

I don't think he should be. As far as I can tell, he's one of this university's many scholars, and looking through his article we have about him, I don't think he stands out as much as many of the others on this list. He has obviously achieved a lot, and being head of a centre like he is isn't to be ignored, but in terms of being a notable and distinguished scholar, like Nobel prize laureates in that list? --JoanneB 20:01, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable Alumni

I added Arend-Jan Boekestein to the notable alumni. He's been a professor of history for some time at Utrecht University, has become an influential opinion maker in the Netherlands and now serves a term as member of parliament. In my opinion he can be mentioned here. Jayguevara
