There's something wrong with the formatting at the top of the page that's beyond my ability to fix . . . Awien (talk) 03:19, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is the rationale for listing the members of the Senate? Most members are not noteworthy in any fashion (i.e. hardly any of them would qualify for their own wikipedia entries, I'd imagine). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.89.238.153 (talk) 00:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

With the departure, from Halifax, of the Most Reverend Archbishop Terrence Pendergast, SJ, Saint Mary's University has cut it's last ties with the Roman Catholic Church. The positions of Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor have passed out of church hands. Dr. David F Sobey, Ret'd Chairman of Sobey's Inc., was installed as the university's Chancellor and University President Dr. J. Colin Dobbs named as Vice-Chancellor on May 23, 2008. --Northern Gentlemen (talk) 22:29, 1 July 2008 (UTC)Northern Gentlemen[reply]

I have found

The MMCCU page (and Masters of Management: Co-operatives and Credit Unions) should remain a unique page with a link to the St. Mary's page. This is a bonafide masters program that is only taught at St. Mary's. It is the only English language accredited masters program for co-operative management. The SMU page does not cover the university's programs or the uniqueness of those programs. While some of the material has come from the web site, a lot of detail has come from a participant (me). It needs to be a stand alone page. Johnthecoopdude (talk) 03:17, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would further add that it should be stand-alone in the same sense the the Masters of Business Administration is a stand-alone page. It is housed at St. Mary's University, but theoretically other colleges and universities could develop a similar program (and there is some developmental work towards that at the University of Toronto and the University of Wisconsin-Madison). --Johnthecoopdude (talk) 15:29, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment But MMCCU is not an organization, it's a degree. I've added some reliable sources to the article that assert its notability. I agree that original research should be removed, but most of what's in the article can be confirmed here. Gobonobo ^{T C} 10:20, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Notability criteria still apply, and I'd say the organisation page applies as well. As for your sources, how does a press release prove notability? Or a piece by a student on the course?

 – Happy Editing--IAmChaos 02:43, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. The changes suggested removing content that is well-cited or where sources exist.

Disclosure: I am an employee of Saint Mary's University. As such, I thought it better to request the change rather than do it myself.

I'm proposing the removal of the section on the "Rape chant controversy" on the grounds it is given undue weight in the article. This event happened nine years ago and was not an incident of longstanding significance. Controversies of this scale are not usually cited on other institutional websites.

Alqbeck (talk) 14:32, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As a former employee of Saint Mary's, directly involved in the changes implemented after the Rape Chant issue, I dispute the change and have rolled it back pending further discussion and feedback from neutral parties. The changes to Saint Mary's culture and policy were *substantial* as a result of this incident. Further, the issue was part of a widespread issue across Canada. Saint Mary's incident spurred change and recognition across the country. The "Declaration of Respect" and Santamarian ceremonies came into effect as a *direct* result of the incident. Lastly, completely wiping the incident from this page is simply vandalism - though given your discussion here, I will refrain from marking it as such. The incident was well-documented and cited, and still referenced in the local community. Other university pages' lack of content of any topic should not inform the content of this page. It is not a public relations or marketing tool like a view book.·¤:•.°windjade.☼°.¤: 03:52, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

 Not done: for the reasons described above. That's not undue weight, and even if it was, that does not mean we remove the entire section. (I have no relationship to or prior opinions of this university.) ℰmi1y_⧼T·C⧽ 11:05, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since when would Age Quod Agis translate to "What you do, do well"? I only ever remember seeing the Latin (disclosure: former student), but it would be much closer to "Do what you do" or "Do what you want". Then again, age isn't even a Latin word, so I guess it's allowed??

Is this a translation provided by the University? CMacMillan (talk) 23:59, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
