Alumni

I'm no lib, but it seems a little stupid to list John Lenders ("former treasurer of Victoria") on this page but not Peter Costello (Australia's longest serving Federal Treasurer). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.120.171 (talk) 16:10, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do they really have to be mentioned in the second paragraph? I get that it is relevant information, but let us think about putting these people further down, at least it is one small way of making this aticle sound less like of an advertisement and more like an encyclopedic entry.

Another comment, could the list be changed to be the same number of individuals but include living and dead alumni so to give a better historical view and avoid WP:Recentism? Alex Sims (talk) 04:20, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Update to Faculties section

In mid-2014, the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences^[1] created the Sub-Faculty of Biomedical and Psychological Sciences^[2]. I was considering adding this to the "Faculties" section of this article, but I was wondering if such specific information would be better kept to Monash University Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences. Thoughts? Amdou4 (talk) 15:07, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ranking incorrectly listed as New York Times

The "Ranking" section includes New York Times as a ranking, when the ranking is clearly not by NY Times.

The source article, from which the reference (currently on this article) gets its image from, says the ranking is that of Emerging and Trendence, two different consulting firms. The official name for the ranking is Emerging/Trendence Global Employability Ranking.

The entire article makes it clear it isn't done by NY Times:

"The study is meant to give “universities, recruiters and students the most valuable of tools: a road-tested blueprint of where it’s best to study in order to get a job,” Emerging said as it released its findings."

Just because NY Times wrote an article that includes a table from Emerging/Trendence, doesn't make it a NY Times ranking. As far as I know, NY Times does not have a ranking of universities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Melbourneexpert (talk • contribs) 08:49, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also see http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/28/world/europe/recruiters-without-borders-companies-scout-globally.html?pagewanted=all for the NY Times' new report of the Emerging/Trendence survey (para 6, 7). Emerging, a consulting company related to education, is who the ranking is carried out for and Trendence does the market research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Melbourneexpert (talk • contribs) 02:06, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

History and halls of residence

I'm a representative of Monash University and would like to submit for review some suggested updates to our main Wikipedia entry. We have no intention of manipulating our own entry, however we believe the following additional facts would be beneficial for the entry.

List of former Vice-Chancellors and Chancellors

We would like to suggest the inclusion of a list of former Vice-Chancellors and Chancellors either on this entry or the 'History of Monash University' entry.

I've included links to the Monash University content as a one potential source to review and verify.

http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/records-archives/archives/formerofficers/vice-chancellors.html http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/records-archives/archives/formerofficers/chancellors.html

Names of residential halls

There is also some information on the people our new residential halls have been named after. This could be included under 'History of Monash Clayton Halls of Residences and Colleges' to match the content provided for the other colleges and halls. Again I've provided links to our content simply to suggest facts that can be verified.

Briggs Hall Briggs Hall is named after Mrs Geraldine Briggs AO who had tribal connections to the Yorta Yorta tribe on her mother's side and the Wiradjeri tribe through her father. She was awarded the Order of Australia in 1991 for her work in the Aboriginal community. https://www.monash.edu/accommodation/accommodation/on-campus-options/clayton-urban-community/briggs-hall

Campbell Hall Campbell Hall is named after Emeritus Professor Enid Mona Campbell AC, OBE, the first female professor and then dean of a law school in Australia. https://www.monash.edu/accommodation/accommodation/on-campus-options/clayton-urban-community/campbell-hall

Holman Hall Holman Hall is named after Emeritus Professor Mollie Holman AO, physiologist, researcher and Personal Chair in Physiology. https://www.monash.edu/accommodation/accommodation/on-campus-options/clayton-urban-community/holman-hall

Jackomos Hall Jackomos Hall is named after Mrs Merle Jackomos OAM who has tribal connections with the Yorta Yorta Nation and was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia on 26 January 1987 for service to Aboriginal welfare. https://www.monash.edu/accommodation/accommodation/on-campus-options/clayton-urban-community/jackomos-hall

Logan Hall Logan Hall is named after Emeritus Professor Mal Logan, geographer and university administrator, Vice-Chancellor and President of Monash University from 1987 - 1996 https://www.monash.edu/accommodation/accommodation/on-campus-options/clayton-urban-community/logan-hall

Turner Hall Turner Hall is named after Associate Professor Ian Turner historian and political activist https://www.monash.edu/accommodation/accommodation/on-campus-options/clayton-urban-community/turner-hall

Thank you for your consideration
