I just attempted to create this page (my first). Please help me make it better by adding content and improving what I have already done. — Preceding unsigned 04:29, 9 July 2007

you cannot add accusations about the school without references to public sources. I have removed that part of the content. If you have references, you can replace the parts that are referenced.DGG (talk) 01:28, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Where do I go to learn how to include references for this article? I have them, I just do not know how to post them appropriately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.210.249.60 (talkcontribs) 19:24, 11 July 2007

July 12th- I have added an external link about Miami University forming the task force in 2005 to improve the academic curriculum at the Miami Hamilton campus. Honestly, there are many different groups that are struggling with this issue in Oxford, but most of these discussions are private, not public. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.210.249.60 (talkcontribs) 13:41, 12 July 2007

December 1st- I am concerned with what is happening with this Wikipedia entry. This is an encyclopedia...not a public relations piece for Miami University Hamilton!!!! Everything said in the piece is sited to either Miami University Hamilton's own webpage and/or an independent outside source. Why sould this information not be included in the entry? Miami University Hamilton IS a remedial campus. The word remedial can mean several things but one definition is subpar. The fact that both Miami University itself and former students who have gone on to Oxford believe that the classes are easier at Miami University Hamilton (as demonstrated by my citations and quotation) clearly means that Miami Hamilton is a remedial campus. There is a controversey surrounding the academic credit earned on the Miami University Hamilton campus and people in Oxford ARE studying the issue. Just because some people do not like the truth does not mean that it should not be included in an encyclopedic entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.189.175.10 (talkcontribs) 16:02, 1 December 2007

As Alumni, attending about 50 percent of classes in Oxford and the other half in Hamilton, I can only say that I DID NOT find classes easier at a particular campus. There is simply an attitude of elitism in Oxford. Today, people want to feel special and this permeates throughout the main campus. I just didn't see a difference in the education. In fact, I received more personal attention from educators at the regional campus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.9.23.115 (talk) 12:31, 15 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

I am sure Germans would like the erase references to the Holocaust on their Wikipedia page, but that is historic fact and belongs in a encyclopedic entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.189.175.10 (talkcontribs) 16:04, 1 December 2007

"There have been vandalisms to this page aimed at the purpose of denigrating this institution and people who have been involved with itt." A direct quote from a Miami University Hamilton student. Don't believe me? Look under November 30th of the history page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.235.133.139 (talk) 15:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Miami University Hamilton vs. University of Virginia at Wise edit

This is very interesting. Both Miami University in Ohio and the University of Virginia are considered two of the best public universities in the United States. In fact, both of them are considered "public ivys". But when it comes to their respective branch campuses the two schools do not seem nearly equal. The University of Virginia's Wise regional branch has constantly been ranked as one of the best regional liberal arts colleges in the south for the last decade...in 1999 they were second in that category in the entire southern region! They are able to accomplish this despite admitting over 90% of their applicants that year. Where is Miami University's regional campuses ranked for the Midwest according to U.S. News & World Report? They are not ranked.....anywhere......why?

Perhaps not all branch campuses are created equal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.24.49.238 (talkcontribs) 00:48, 6 February 2009 One is a serious academic institution, the other a distributor of "academic welfare". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.24.49.238 (talkcontribs) 14:38, 8 February 2009
