It currently claims the university has Satanists on staff. That looks like vandalism to me, but I cannot figure out which revision added that. I make a note of it here in hopes that somebody more familiar with the article can validate the claim.
On August 13 2007, His Highness the Aga Khan announced a major expansion to the Aga Khan University in East Africa. Specifically, he inaugurated the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Aga Khan University (AKU-FHS) in Nairobi, Kenya. $250M has been committed to Kenya, and $700M has been committed to East Africa as a whole, for the expansion of the Aga Khan University in that region. See Official Press Release
Previously this article had contained a jumble of content, most of which was relevant and valid, but lacked structure. I have sought to reorganize the content of this article and make it more readable while ensuring the article's credibility. I have maintained existing credible information, and built upon it. The primary sources have been the AKU website and the AKDN page on AKU. I have also tried to flag facts that require further citation. This article can still be expanded; hopefully this will be done in an organized, readable and credible manner. -- Aylahs (talk) 07:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Is this page the most appropriate place to list notable alumni, professors and staff? Other universities have listed notable persons in separate articles. For example, the Harvard University article has a section on Notable People that points to separate lists. This allows the Harvard University article to cleanly focus on the University while the lists focus on the people. Would this provide a better model for the Aga Khan University article? -- Aylahs (talk) 14:37, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
becoming a faculty at a US university is itself a big deal. so all of these alumni are special and to highlight one over the other makes little sense at this stage unless of course someone wins the nobel etc. besides, the rate at which these alumni are growing in the US academia is probably the fastest from south asia
Would it be valuable to include a section on the impact of the University on the societies in which it operates? Perhaps it is still too early to discuss the impact at its East African campuses, but certainly AKU has made significant contributions to Pakistan. For example, its role in the 2005 earthquake relief, its impact on the nursing profession, or quality of health issues in the katchi-abadis? Is there good source material out there that speaks to these issues? -- Aylahs (talk) 03:34, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Image:AKU logo.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 Wikipedia articles 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.
If there is other 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. BetacommandBot 17:22, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
I see a number of duplicate phrases, but it has been around since 2006. I see issues that need addressing, but don't see it as as CSD candidate, maybe CP would be better.-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 14:11, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
This article contains hundreds of words of copyvio -- some can be seen here. The page it was copied from is from 2004, and predates the creation of this article. Given the recent focus in SOPA on copyright, and whether wp is doing enough, it seems worth addressing. Given that the vast bulk of the article is unreferenced -- let alone referenced to an RS -- and we know that copyvio resides in the article, I'm challenging the unreferenced text, per WP:CHALLENGED.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 17:24, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
I think it seems very unlikely that either of the claims in the blockquote are true: "Its the only university of Pakistan which provides research facilities to students at undergraduate level.Many undergraduate medical students have published upto 40-50 research papers in indexed health journals." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rjonnal ( talk • contribs) 04:21, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
