I feel a general note is needed: Wikipedia articles may be edited by anyone; they do not have administrators or official editors, least of all "Marketing Coordinators" who may have a conflict of interest.

"Established" Date

I have edited MRU's "established" date to reflect the date at which the institution became a University, which, as I understand it, is September 3, 2009; the December 1910 date is clearly too far back. This is consistent with the understanding of the term employed on the University of Calgary Wikipedia page, which gives an "established" date of 1966. I attempted to differentiate between "established" and "incorporated" in the university info boxes on the right side of the both pages, so that I could give dates of 1910 and 1906 for the former, and 2009 and 1966 for the latter, which I feel is fair, but apparently you can't add new categories to those info boxes, or at least I can't. If anyone else can begin doing that, I think it would be a good idea to begin the practice here, and continue on with it on other pages.

Applied Degree/ Business

Ryerson University which was first a a polytechnic, offered applied business degrees since the early 1970s. It had one of the largest business schools in Canada until the late 1990s.Dont know the current size.

"In 1995 it launched the Bachelor of Applied Business and Entrepreneurship - one of the first applied degrees in Canada"69.165.138.51 (talk) 16:00, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
