This is funny… under the section regarding the name of the school:
[QUOTE]The official name of the university is “The University of North Carolina at Charlotte.” “Charlotte” and “UNC Charlotte” (no hyphen) are both acceptable nicknames for the university, but the athletic department has used Charlotte exclusively for its sports teams since 2000. Issues of school identity persist and have led many people, including Charlotte mayor Pat McCrory, to call for a name change to “The University of Charlotte.” Despite these confusions there is a strong group of people against the name change, [B]including current chancellor Chapel Hill Phil[/B]. The group cites arguments such as a fear of alienating of alumni, and the fact that the University of North Carolina system’s name is so prestigious. The Student Government Association is currently deliberating this issue, and will be bringing it to the floor on January 31st, 2008.[/QUOTE]

Chapel Hill Phil must be his legal name if Wikipedia said it. LOL.
While I certainly do find this funny; I am not really in favor of it being up there. I don’t think it is ethical to put something like that in a place that a lot of people consider to have reliable information. Plus, I know that a lot of people use Wiki for info and if a prospective student sees this, they might think our school is a joke. So, I think it is funny, but I hope it doesn’t stay up there too long.

if someone is using wikipedia to find a college to go to, or to find information on a school…then i do not want that person coming here
wikipedia, nancy grace, stonecoldken, and jerry springer represent whats wrong with this country.
