Communications and Public Policy[edit]

Criminology, Journalism, and Human Rights are linked to a description of the program. Communications and Public Policy is a popular program at STU and should be linked to a description for those wondering what the program entails.

Untitled[edit]

I am wondering why this article was re-named, when their website clearly says their name is "St. Thomas University." --Spinboy 17:23, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC) ~!!

I don't see any reference to STU on Brian Mulroney's page...or at least not in the education section. It wouldnt' surprise me if he recieved an honorary doctorate from STU but i think it should be noted as so. In addition, do honorary doctorates count as alumni? 02:43, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Mulroney as alumni[edit]

I'm pretty sure Mulroney attended "STU" when it was still a school in Chatham. That's probably why it's not listed in the university section of the Mulroney article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.164.73.80 (talk) 17:40, 29 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

In point of fact, Brian Mulroney attended St. Thomas High School in Chatham, New Brunswick, but never attended St. Thomas University -- in either Chatham or Fredericton. He graduated from St. Thomas High School in 1955. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.193.144.48 (talk) 23:58, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Catholic" university[edit]

I know the university has a Catholic history, but (at least as I understand it) it is not affiliated with any religious group, even though some Catholic traditions may continue. Suggest removing "Catholic" from the opening sentence. Albnd (talk) 15:23, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've also noticed that despite having some Catholic traditions present at the school, they do not require their students to take religious courses, unlike other religious schools in New Brunswick; for example, Crandall University: https://www.crandallu.ca/program/arts-science/program-requirements-ba-sc/ Hnnhy (talk) 16:59, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it is officially a Catholic university. See its mission statement: http://w3.stu.ca/stu/about/mission/mission.aspx —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.24.221 (talk) 03:33, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of ref. to faculty assn. questioned[edit]

Was wondering why the paragraph describing the faculty assn. was removed? Would ask on the editor's talk page, but there is none and in fact this is the only edit listed for that ISBN. If someone here would like to discuss the issue that would be great. Otherwise, I will revert the edit in a few days. — scribbling woman 19:13, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing no discussion, I have reverted the edit. Am more than willing to hear why the previous editor removed it, if they would like to discuss it here.— scribbling woman 19:01, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

STU Internships program[edit]

St. Thomas University has a really good internships program for students looking to gain working experience. I'd like to add this in as many people don't know it exists. Hnbzj (talk) 13:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indigenous instead of Aboriginal[edit]

Hi, I noticed the word "aboriginal" was used in this article, and as a Canadian I know our Indigenous peoples do not use that term. I edited it, and changed the link from the aboriginal page to an indigenous page. --Sdb46 (talk) 18:59, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Land Acknowledgment[edit]

St. Thomas University acknowledges that the land in which the school is built on is traditional territory of Indigenous tribes: https://www.stu.ca/indigenous-homepage/land-acknowledgement-/ Hnnhy (talk) 18:33, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, a land acknowledgment section would be appropriate for St. Thomas University's Wikipedia page. There needs to be proper recognition such as mentioning the names of the Indigenous nations or communities (i.e., Wolastoqiyik 'Maliseet', or Mi'kmaq). A statement of acknowledgement should be made either near the beginning of the page, or within the history section. Colby20022 (talk) 19:48, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Policies and Reports[edit]

St. Thomas University has a list of policies that have not been mentioned on this Wikipedia page. I think a brief section on the policies can be quite beneficial for those who attend the University and for incoming students. This section could cover a range of topics such as academic policies, student conduct codes, diversity and inclusion initiatives, sustainability efforts, and annual reports. Including a policy and report section can enhance it's overall look, providing readers with valuable information about St. Thomas University's values and commitments. It can also highlight the universities responsibility for what they believe in, and how they appropriately manage situations: https://www.stu.ca/about/administrative-offices/vice-president-academic-and-research/policies-and-reports/ Colby20022 (talk) 19:28, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Hnnhy and Colby20022, please don't continue to add unsourced or promotional content. Please also read WP:COI, which explains what conflict of interest is, and that it must be divulged. Finally, an explanation of your connection to one another, as you appear to be editing in a promotional tone in tandem, will also be relevant. Thank you, 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 21:33, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  We apologize, there is no harm intended. We are doing this for a class. We recognize our mistakes and where we went wrong and it will not happen again. Hnnhy (talk) 21:49, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's appreciated and understood. Please let the instructor know, as well, that we welcome new editors, but COI and the need for WP:RELIABLE sourcing are bedrock policies. Cheers, 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 21:53, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Land Acknowledgement section[edit]

I am wondering why there isn't a land acknowledgement section in the beginning that states that "St.Thomas University is located is the traditional territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Wəlastəkewiyik / Maliseet whose ancestors along with the Mi’Kmaq / Mi’kmaw and Passamaquoddy / Peskotomuhkati Tribes / Nations signed Peace and Friendship Treaties with the British Crown in the 1700s." as per said on the official page of St. Thomas University page StephanieGagnon04 (talk) 01:33, 20 February 2024 (UTC) St. Thomas University stu.ca StephanieGagnon04 (talk) 01:33, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! There is a new land acknowledgment under the history section! Hnnhy (talk) 12:07, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
