I think that the "Mission Impossible" segment of this article, while perhaps pertinent as part of a broader discussion of the cost of higher education in the developing world, has little relevance in this particular context and reveals bias on the part of the article's author.

The cost of tuition at AUC is astronomical compared to other "state" Univ's in Egypt. It is relevant, correct, valid and needs more elaboration.--Connection 11:27, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Connection, considering that the GDP per capita of Egypt is $4,200 (2006 est. - Cia Factbook). This obviously makes it impossible for none but the economic elite to afford tuition. This has cultural and demographic implications for the student body which reflects on AUCs culture and activities.Alefbetac 10:21, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Masonic lodge

Can somebody substantiate the claim that the university is host to Egypt's only Masonic lodge? I can't find any references on Google. --Abdousi 03:59, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy

Please demonstrate sources or I will revert the controversy section. Alefbetac (talk) 21:24, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ofcourse this is complete nonesense what was written, and it should be removed! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.19.74.8 (talk) 16:56, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Stack.gif

Image:Stack.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Neutral (or otherwise) Point-of-View

I removed a comment regarding the NPOV from the top of this article, and replaced it with a template. I reproduce the original comment here so that it can be addressed. I have no opinion on the neutrality of this article.

Please notice that this article was written by the AUC team so it wasn't written from a neutral point of view. Added by Y2H on 1st November, 2007. -- Kateshort forbob 09:50, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Cited Material by AUC Representatives

I added information on deaths involving the construction of the new campus, which were removed despite being cited. I am assuming this is part of the non-neutral POV issue, but can someone please revert this and protect the page? Michael Sheflin (talk) 10:37, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am on staff at AUC and want to introduce myself. I have a number of additions I would like to make to the AUC page to document accreditation, academic and historical facts missing on the current AUC page. I will be citing sources and sticking to facts. Any help or suggestions are welcome as I am on a learning curve here with regard to formatting, rules, etc. --Cairokaraoke (talk) 18:42, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

January 25 Revolution

Please search for and add relevant connections between AUC and the protests of Jan 2011. I note that one student of the university is listed as killed during the violent phase of the protests. Example: Her name was Liza Mohamed Hasan, age 20. - 29 Jan 2011. Hit by a police car on 28 January-she died the following day. - She was a Business Administration student at the American University in Cairo. - Source: http://1000memories.com/egypt
