I added in the information about the NCAA Division II losing streak record, as well as more information on class sizes and the prof/student ratio. I also put in the women's wrestling part. --TJBillo2 03:30, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Deleted link

I removed the following link. It brought up a "forbidden access" page: [1] --Fell Collar 17:12, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Enrollment

The body of the article says that Morris has an enrollment of 1700, while the sidebar says 1900. Anyone know which is correct?--69.76.17.230 06:17, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Notable people

Usually university articles have a section (and often a whole article for) notable alumni and faculty. This article needs one. PZ Myers should be listed, but I think it is a idea to start such a list and put only one person in it. So maybe someone can suggest some more names for a future list. (And Wikipedia contributers might check the Wikipedia article for the school they attended (if applicable) to see if it has such a list.) MichaelSH 17:28, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Jim Hall is now the CIO at Ramsey County MN. No longer works at UM Morris. See MinnPost. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.98.134.224 (talk) 21:58, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

"Morris Industrial School for Indians Dormitory" and "West Central School of Agriculture and Experiment Station" are on the List of Registered Historic Places in Minnesota. Could someone get a picture of them?--Appraiser (talk) 20:02, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

"Harvard of the Midwest"

There was a claim that UMM had gained this "nickname by some". The claim cited a blog written by a UMM graduate. A subsequent Google search [2]] returned very few results, none of which were a third-party referring to UMM by this nickname. References to widely accepted rankings or admissions standards are an acceptable means of discussing a college's academic standing, but unsubtantiated boosterism is unencyclopedic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.67.167.69 (talk) 21:26, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Non third party references, and non referenced

This page has many references that are non reliable due to being sources published by the article's subject. Much of the article needs third party references.

Other portions of the article are simply un-referenced entirely.

Should we start deleting passages and facts that don't contain reliable third party references? These have been tagged for quite some time without anyone coming forward with references. I have looked for a couple of these references and have been un able to find such information. These types of articles are damaging to the integrity of the encyclopedia. Any thoughts? Since what I am questioning consists of a large portion of the article I thought before I do any mass deleting of sections of the page that i should at least attempt the start a discussion here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Booth088 (talk • contribs) 03:25, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

• have started some cleanup of the unreferenced sections. -anon (Aug 2011) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.57.8.80 (talk) 14:57, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

• I saw that. Awesome, thanks! Booth088 (talk) 19:46, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

• I think the warning for 'Media' section can be dropped now. Added 3rd party refs to clean up this section. -anon (Aug 2011) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.57.8.80 (talk) 21:58, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

• Thanks, I removed the tag under the 'Media' section. Booth088 (talk) 16:09, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

"Controversy"

The consensus is that this article should not contain a "Controversy" section with content about a word that was used on campus radio.

• No: this is a tiny little minor thing--apparently a student DJ used the word "tranny" on air one time in 1997; the student was, apparently, removed from the studio by campus police and suspended. A lawyer argued it wasn't an FCC violation. That's about it. Note: I don't think that in human terms the student using that word on-air is a minor thing: they didn't just say the word, they suggested in total douchebaggy terms that everyone knew who he was talking about, etc. It was a swinish thing to do, absolutely--but that doesn't make it encyclopedic, nor is it DUE to have a special section on this page about it, a section sourced only to a story from the campus paper/website. Finally, the writing is not-neutral, and of course "controversy" sections are discouraged.

  I'm bringing this here because one person keeps reverting; see here and here. BTW, "'[needs] Better coverage' is no reason to delete cited material"--yes it is. Drmies (talk) 18:26, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

• The information in question might be suitable for inclusion in the article about the radio station itself, but it is outside of the scope of this article. ebbillings (talk) 18:50, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
• This smacks of recentism and the single source given doesn't seem reliable enough. With better sourcing it may warrant a mention at KUMM, but it is not significant enough to include here. --Sable232 (talk) 16:35, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
